Great day tour to Ella with Sundown Tours! The itinerary covered all the must see spots like Ella Nine Arch Bridge, the scenic train ride from Hali Ela to Ella, Ravana Falls, and Little Adam’s Peak. We even got to experience monkey feeding, which was fun and unique. A highlight of the trip was the elephant feeding experience in Udawalawe, it was truly special and something I’ll always remember. Everything was well organized, the guide was friendly, and the views throughout the journey were stunning. Highly recommend this Ella day tour if you want to explore the best attractions in a short time!
