Ella (ඇල්ල) is one of the best tourist destinations of Sri Lanka. It is attracted by more foreigners than local travelers.Therefore it has been developed as a tourist city where number of hotels, restaurant are situated. This is a short account of tourists attractions around Ella.

Ambokka is not a known hiking destination but its one of the most prominent wet forest mountains boardering Kurunegala and Mathale districts.

Even though we have had so many ordinary trips none of them have not given an experience like this one. Yes, we just finished a 20km hike from Ohiya to Bambarakanda.

It was 9 Years back when I first came to know about this magical location but somehow I couldn’t pull it off due to various reasons. Not like 9 years back now I was fully equipped with lot of information which aided me to pull this off! I think I dont need to explain the route details since its documented well in previous reports and almost every one is aware about the trail.

Great Western Mountain (2212m) is the 7th highest mountain in Sri Lanka situated closer to Great Western estate and station. I have been there 9years ago and now the hike is not a difficult task with well paved pathways. We have added task to get down to Pundalu Oya side to explore hidden waterfalls.

After two years of planning and reading trip reports in Lakdasun and posts on Elakiri about Doowili ella, finally we were able to gather 4 people (well, in the beginning there were 6 and on the day sprit was remain), who were extremely needed to do this hike.

Few years back i came to know that there were two mini worlds ends at Walapane area and directions towards Harasbedda WE was given to me by Mr Palitha. My other place of interest was a magical location called Golumale bordering VRR reserve.

Koboneelagala (1555m) is a well known peak of Knuckles forest reserve. This is our one day visit to Koboneelagala assuming it as Dumbanagala but ended up at Koboneelagala.

Deraniyagala area is blessed with number of waterfalls and water level of these falls are high throughout the year due to good rainfalls. Most of these falls are less in height but rich in beauty.

Rathna Ella is one of beautiful waterfalls in Sri Lanka, situated at Rathna Ella village-Hasalaka. It has 111m height and governs for 9th highest waterfall in Sri Lanka. Hasalaka Oya which starts from Knuckles range creates this majestic falls. Usual way to visit Rathna Ella is coming from Hasalaka and walking along the canal road to the base of the falls. This is our adventourous journey to Rathna Ella from velangolla Pathana.

Sudugala and Wawegama are the attracts located between Nawalapitiya and Galboda. We can visit these places within a short time period. Sudugala is the popular waterfall and a Wawegama is a lake with beautiful surroundings. During my trip to Wewelthalawa I saw a Welcome board at Ulapane which tempted me to do this trip.
