On the way from Kandy TO Ella, sit on the RIGHT side. Most of the valley views are on the right.

Actually, it is a mix. The first half is better on the right, the second half (getting closer to Ella) has great views on both sides. But Right side is the safe bet.

Gem Museum Commission ScamVerified
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.

Unofficial Temple Guide ScamVerified
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).
