Ella Tourism & Businessmen's Association
Ella, Sri Lanka, is a small “hill country” village settled at 1040 meters above sea level within the glorious foot hills of the Uva highlands. Its surrounding tea-growing plantations spread across thousands of hectares cloaking the rolling hillsides in a fresh, vibrant green mantle.
Here in Ella, the climate is benign yet bracing year round. Ella is a famous retreat from the heat and humidity of the coastal areas and a great place to rest for a while. You can go slow in Ella, drink in the cool mountain air and be allured by the perfume of the tea gardens while enjoying stunning vistas of the Ella Gap.
There are more than forty hotels, guesthouses and home-stays that provide quality accommodation in and around this area.
The village has a range of eateries, general stores and massage centres as well as a wonderful railway station which links with Colombo and Kandy.
