It is very easy. Buses heading to Wellawaya, Kataragama, or Monaragala all pass through Ella and go down the mountain. Stand at the main bus stop in Ella town. They come roughly every 30 minutes. The ride takes about an hour, is incredibly scenic (and winding!), and costs less than 200 LKR.

Once you get to Wellawaya, you will need to catch a different bus heading towards Koslanda to reach Diyaluma.

Or negotiate a tuk-tuk from Wellawaya bus stand for the last stretch. It is faster.
