Jacob – United Arab Emirates

It was an amazing trip so much packed into one day! Each place we visited was so different but great fun! We were lucky to have Shamal as our guide, he was amazing at his job, he knew all the short cuts and angles for photos. His recommendations for food and tips and tricks on the trip were amazing! I would highly recommend this trip, and Shamal as a guide.

I was very lucky with my guide! I learned so much about the country and about plants. He takes his job very seriously. More is simply not possible. Many thanks for everything

Your first stop is the ancient Buduruwagala Temple, famous for its towering rock-cut Buddha statues dating back over 1,000 years. The serene atmosphere of this sacred site provides a peaceful conclusion to your tour, as you admire the spiritual and historical significance of the carvings.

Next, magnificent Ravana Falls, a breathtaking waterfall steeped in local folklore and surrounded by lush greenery. Feel the mist on your skin as you marvel at the cascading waters, creating a picture-perfect backdrop for your adventure.

Next, immerse yourself in the world of tea at the Uva Halpewatte Tea Factory. Join a guided tour to learn about the art of tea production, from plucking the leaves to brewing the perfect cup. Engage your senses as you savor the aroma of fresh tea and witness the intricate process that goes into each blend.

The highlight of your tour is a scenic train ride from Demodara to Ella. Wind through verdant tea plantations and rolling hills, capturing panoramic views of the Ella valley along the way. The journey over the iconic Nine Arch Bridge adds a touch of nostalgia, as you traverse this architectural marvel that stands as a testament to Sri Lanka's colonial past.

For thrill-seekers, the Flying Ravana Mega Zipline offers an adrenaline-pumping experience. Soar through the skies and witness Ella's beauty from a bird's eye view, making memories that will last a lifetime.

Finally, hike to the summit of Little Adam's Peak, where panoramic views of the Ella Gap and surrounding mountains await. Take a moment to soak in the tranquility of the landscape before heading back to your pickup location or any selected area, concluding your day tour with a sense of awe and wonder at the beauty of Ella.

Shane was a helpful and friendly guide who definitely knew what he was doing! He was professional and had a good routes and plans for the day to make the most of it despite the rather long distance from Mirissa. He even got me an umbrella for the rainy morning to be able to get to the first locations! Thank you for the great experience, I would definitely recommend this trip if you want to explore the essentials of Ella in one day!
