Safe alternative waterfalls to swim in near Ella besides Ravana
3 Answers from travellers
Yes! Hire a tuk-tuk and ask to go to Kithal Ella falls or Secret Waterfall. They are much smaller, secluded cascades set deep in the jungle. The pools are calm and perfectly safe for a dip. You will likely have the entire place to yourself, away from the massive crowds at Ravana.
Diyaluma is an hour away, but the upper pools there are the ultimate safe swimming spots in the region.
There is also a lovely natural rock pool on the way down from Ella Rock where hikers stop to splash their faces. Very safe.
Scam Watch: ella
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.
