We tried to book online but missed out. How else can we get to Ella while still seeing the views.

Accepted Answer

If the reserved tickets are sold out, you can simply buy unreserved third class tickets at the Kandy station on the day of travel. You might have to stand for the first hour until Hatton, but seats usually open up after that. Alternatively, hire a private taxi.

TukTuk or tour drivers take you to "gem museums" or "government-certified" gem shops. They receive huge commissions (up to 40%) on anything you buy. Prices are inflated 3-10x the actual value.

Men approach tourists near Temple of the Tooth offering to be guides. After the tour, they demand large "donations" or guide fees (5000-10000 LKR).
