Madu's shop is THE place to go shopping for presents and souvenirs in Ella. It has everything you need from decorative items to useful objects (masks, gems, jewelry, tea pots, brassware, postcards, etc.) at the best prices.
What's more, Madu, the owner, is the sweetest guy ever. He's always up for a nice chat, will explain you every object that he sells with huge kindness. The place is up to the man. I can only recommend R.M.S. Antique shop.

I hiked along the railway tracks from Ella Station, passing the sign "prohibited to walk on the railway line", but even the stationmaster told me to go this way. Keeping a lookout for trains it took me less than an hour to reach the path on the left that led me through fields where farmers were bust attending their crops. The path had a few branches and i found myself backtracking a couple of times after taking the wrong turning. However there were plenty of people coming down the path who put me in the correct direction. There are two quite steep sections before i reached the top. Fortunately it was about 10.30 am and the skies were clear offering a terrific view. There were two enterprising locals selling lemon tea and bottled water at the top, triple price here, but who is complaining as the lemon tea was really good. I guess by the time i returned to Ella Station the hike had taken e the best part of four hours, but this is a hike one should not miss.

Walked down here to see the train cross the viaduct, it was good and worthwhile although coming from near to the Ribblehead viaduct it wasn’t that much of a novelty. The way we walked was quite steep at the end so decent footwear helpful. W orthodox a look.

This costs 100rps, be realistic about what to expect... they show you the plants and then give you the opportunity to purchase what you have seen. Personally I loved seeing the plants that my everyday cupboard items come from, it is a clever little extra tourist experience on a lazy afternoon in Ella

Reviewed By Rock J - Sri Lanka
Katirkāmam Murukaṉ Kōyil') in Kataragama, Sri Lanka, is a temple complex dedicated to Buddhist guardian deity Kataragama deviyo and Hindu War God Kathirkamam. It is one of the few religious sites in Sri Lanka that is venerated by the Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims and the Vedda people.[3] For most of the past millennia, it was a jungle shrine very difficult to access; today it is accessible by an all-weather road. The shrines and the nearby Kiri Vehera are managed by Buddhists, the shrines dedicated to Teyvāṉai and Shiva are managed by Hindus and the mosque by Muslims.
7. Dunhinda Falls

A well known waterfall in Sri Lanka
Reviewed By Kaushali Y - Colombo, Sri Lanka
To view the waterfall, you must hike for at least an hour. It is not a natural path as there are concrete steps and small Bridges and so on. But still quite challenging. Plenty of little shops on the way to buy water bottles and rest if needed.
The waterfall can be viewed from a platform and it is very nice place to try visit if you are in the vicinity. Have to buy a ticket to enter, very cheap though.

Reviewed By billobe1 - Letchworth, United Kingdom
Very impressive thousand year old rock carvings set in peaceful Gardens a few miles from Wellawaya. Well worth the short diversion of the main road to take a look. Clouds of butterflies line the short walk to the carvings. Relatively undiscovered by tourists yet.
The nearby juice bar is worth a visit if thirsty.

Along with plenty of wildlife, a cliff known as World's End is a top attraction at this park.
Reviewed By Shafeer Z - Mawanella, Sri Lanka
Horton Plains National Park is a best place in Sri Lanka for camping. There are 3 camping sites and we have to pre-book a site at the Wildlife Department of Sri Lanka. I prefer site near chimnee pool. All three sites have sanitary facilities. Can not drive vehicles to sites. All sites are located about 600m from Hotron Plains visitor center. According to the rules of Wildlife Department we were not allowed to make fire at night. We have to bring portable stoves for cooking. Making meats (BBQ) also not allowed.

If you go to the tea factory near by definitely worth doing this walk. It only takes about half an hour. Walking along the tracks you see some beautiful views and a lovely bridge and waterfall. Quite an experience when the train comes! It's free.
