ELLA
Ella is a beautiful small village in Sri Lanka's hill country carrying a few shops, hotels and guesthouses. It stands after a short deviation from the Bandarawela - Badulla road. It possesses a beautiful little railway station through which the Badulla railway passes. The heavily winding Ella - Wellawaya road strategically leads to the beautiful Ravana water falls flowing down a cave just by the roadside.
The Ravana Ella cave lies 4500 feet above sea level on the foundation of a cliff. This beautiful tourist location is at a 7 miles distance from Bandarawela. The Ravana water fall is known to be one of the widest waterfalls of Sri Lanka. It pours itself down through the Ella gorge, a gap between two hills. The water beautifully courses down in three stages for 9 metres and then curves itself in a stream flowing through the gorge under the bridge. The view beyond the gorge is gorgeous that on a bright day one can see right across the southern coast of Sri Lanka through the strikingly beautiful backdrop of mountains and valleys.
