We want to attend a secret jungle rave outside Ella town. Since we will be drinking, how do we secure a reliable tuk tuk driver who will wait for us until 4 AM in the jungle.

Never assume a driver will just be waiting out there. You must negotiate a "standby rate" with a driver beforehand. Talk to the driver who takes you to the rave, and offer him a premium (e.g., 4000-5000 LKR total) to park and sleep in his tuk-tuk until you are ready to leave. Ask your hostel for a trusted driver, as you want someone who will not just abandon you if they get bored.

Pay them half upfront and the other half when they drop you safely at your hotel.

If it is a well-known party organized by Cafe Chill, they sometimes have a shuttle van service. Ask the organizers first.

Get the drivers WhatsApp number. Jungle raves often have terrible phone signal, so agree on a specific meeting spot.

Do not try to walk back down the Ella-Wellawaya road in the dark. There are wild elephants and leopards in those hills.
