We booked a taxi ride from Ella to Weligama beach with Lakpura leisure. Chathum from Lakpura leisure helped us planning the trip. He always responded to our messages in a timely manner and always sent us the confirmation which was very reassuring. He also arranged a safari tour at Udawalawe National Park on our way to Weligama beach. I highly recommend booking/ planning the trip with Lakpura leisure. They are very professional, accommodating and reasonably priced.
We had a wonderful time and it was the highlight of our Sri Lanka trip!

The whole trip was perfectly planned. The Driver was so kind and helpful. We had cosy and comfortable climatized van with lots of space. After we arrived to Udawawale only 5 minutes later there we started our amazing journey. Enjoy a little humpy road, beautiful scenery of Sri Lanka flora and fauna like elephants, monkeys, peacocks, colorful birds, lizards, water buffaloes,… It was worth it!
