Direct bus from Arugam Bay to Ella mountains

There is no direct public bus, but the route is very easy. Take a tuk tuk from Arugam Bay to the Pottuvil bus stand. From there, catch the bus heading to Monaragala. At Monaragala, switch to a Badulla or Colombo bound bus and hop off at Ella. The entire journey takes about 4 to 5 hours. Alternatively, many surf camps organize direct shared tourist vans daily.
