Kithal Ella is great and less crowded than Ravana Falls. However, never swim if the water is brown and rushing as flash floods are a real safety risk in the hillcountry.

Always check the local weather before hiking high into the hills. Rains can start suddenly.

The hike to Upper Diyaluma is the best for swimming but it is a bit of a drive from Ella.

Yes but keep an eye on the path as locals might lead you the wrong way to offer their paid help.

People outside stations offer to "help" buy tickets but charge large markups. They may buy cheap third-class tickets and sell as more expensive classes.
