    Ella has the most spectacular location, really gorgeous. The train trip was wonderful. The waterfalls all around are lovely. The stores in town were fun. But we were surprised by how many tourists there were, how crowded and overdeveloped. The giant outdoor screens, the competing loud music, the catering to western travelers made it less fun than other areas of Sri Lanka.

    Nice little town, you can do some nice outdoor activity such as trekking to little Adam’s pick and zip line, see the waterfall, the famous nine arch bridge, enjoy some good meals in one of the restaurants on the main road. Rice&curry at the Chill cafè is very good, the dream cafe has an international cuisine so I had a chicken wrap also really good, instead at The Barn I had a really good overnight oat breakfast. You can also take a cooking class some restaurants offer this activity three times a day 11am, 4pm and 7pm or you can also enjoy a yoga class usually you don’t need to book classes are at 8 am or 4 pm. In my opinion one night and a full day is enough to visit the main things.

    This is such a nice town, good and plenty of food options. Lots of bars and the surrounding is very beautiful. You get spoiled here with waterfalls, hikes and so much greenery. Loved arriving here with the train, meeting other travellers and eating plenty of delicious food :) Will come back soon, next time for longer because there is so much more to see.

    Ella is a chilled laid back kind of place like Bali used to be, However the TukTuk Mafia are despicable rude, price gouging and trying to rip off every tourist. If you go to Ella take your own transport. You can rent your own TukTuks and Scooters. I encourage people to use Uber andPickme it works in Colombo. Honest TukTuk drivers are bullied in Ella As well as other tourist hubs in Sri Lanka.

    Good starting place for visiting the mountain area of the country. Downtown noisy and inundated with tourists. Those who want a quieter but equally stunning settling but somewhat more limited in amenities may do better staying in a smaller and nearby setting. If you are taking the amazing train ride, do so ‘backwards’ and start in Ella area.

    The hotel is located very close to the Ella town centre, however, it is a steep drive/walk upto the hotel. The views from the hotel were the best in town and there is a great rooftop pool and bar. We had rooms in the new section of the hotel so they were large, modern, air-conditioned, clean and relatively soundproofed (as Ella town can get noisy at night). The views weren't as nice as the older rooms but they were quiet at night. Overall this hotel is a great place to stay.

    Indika was an excellent host and his accomodation is in a quiet secluded location. There so much to do around here being close to Stage 15 of the Pekoe Trail, close to tea tours of Amba Tea Plantation and so many other interesting walks. It is not a fancy boutique hotel. But it is exactly right for those wanting to feel more closely connected with the real Sri Lanka.

    Shining Green View is located high above the lovely town of Ella. Having a tasty breakfast on the rooftop area looking over the hills was a great way to start the day. The staff led by Ruban were always a delight, nothing was difficult and they assisted us in any way they could. I highly recommend this hotel and would love to have the opportunity to visit again.
