Explore the best of Ella. Hiking, waterfalls and cultural tour

First of all, thank you so much Hashan and Rajitha for making this day so special! We were so pleasantly impressed, we kept talking about everything we've seen and experienced for days after the tour was over. It was very well organized (even though the trip was fully adapted to our location and preferences). Our guide has a deep, genuine understanding of his country's culture and daily life, his way of speaking is very lively and engaging, everything he says sounds interesting (his English is excellent), and during the trip he was always attentive to our wishes and ready to answer any of our questions. The overall atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming. And we also had a wonderful, skillful driver who made us feel completely safe at all times. It was a great pleasure, would love to meet again! Thank you ❤️

My friend and I had the best time with Hasan and his colleague exploring Ella! Hasan was extremely knowledgeable and knew everything there is to know about Ella! We definitely recommend this tour if you want to see Ella properly!

What an incredible experience. I booked the tour showing all the highlights of Ella and surrounds and Hashan was a knowledgeable and passionate tour guide. He went over and above to ensure I had an amazing day out. Highly recommend!

We did a 2 week tour together with a driver organised by Travelling Thrills. We arrived just before the cycloon end of nov 2025, and despite of the bad weather conditions, our driver Raijitha managed to continue our tour in the best possible way. When we talked to other tourists we could immediately feel that our driver was much more experienced and was making a real difference. The people in Sri Lanka are very kind and pleasant, but Raijitha was next level, we couldn't have a better driver. We visited, Negombo, Dambulla, Kandy, Ella, Tissamara, Galle, Colombo. We were very happy to have a good combination of the tourist must see things and some local visits and discoveries. (things we couldn't have done if we had organised everything by ourselves, like the discovery of nice local food specialties: curd, hoppers, roti, ... It was a pleasant and unforgettable trip. We strongly recommend Travelling thrills to accompany you along your trip, it's making a real difference. An & Peter

Best tour so far in Sri Lanka! We saw all of Ella in one day! Little Adam’s peak, nine arch bridges, 2 waterfalls, the tea fields and a temple. Would 100% - Pasindu and Saliya were amazing guides!!!!!

The guides are lovely. Explanations on culture , life in Sri Lanka and flora and fauna, with great knowledge . Always attentive and willing. They adapted the tour over time, to try to avoid the rains and become more bearable. Tour at your own pace, no rush. You see in about 8h the essentials of Ella, accompanied, calm and traveling in a green Suzuki with marches of the most peculiar. Recommended

Me and my partner took this tour in August 2025. It was us and a friendly family of three, very cosy. Our guide Hashan is a really fabulous person, studious and deeply knowledeable about Sri Lankan culture, history, agriculture and botany, he speaks perfect English and is clearly comfortable imparting knowledge in a fun and interesting way. He went out of his way adjusting the tour to accomodate a tea factory visit that wasn't originally on our itinerary, he even insisted on covering the entry fee as we honestly forgot to pay at the end (thank you so much!). The tour itself is long but not very physically demanding, as you go almost everywhere by car, with the exception of Little Adam's peak, but even that is more of walk uphill than a mountain hike. So we went: Sunrise on Little Adam's peak, Nine Arches bridge, skipped the train ride for the tea factory, little temple, "secret" waterfall (not truly secred, as there where two dozen locals and a small café where we had an excellent local lunch). We were back in Ella before dusk. The tour is a good mixture of information and simply enjoying the surroundings - the best part for me personally was eating pancakes at the top of Little Adam's peak, watching the sun come up. Truly remarkable experience! I'd recommend this tour if you're interested in history, culture and plants and enjoy learning things more than physical activity.

This was an amazing experience. Hashan showed us the best places in Ella, starting with a marvellous spot for sunrise, with a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast and tea. It was definitely the highlight of our stay in Ella. We highly recommend Hashan and his team. Hashan is an amazing guide. We have never met a guide SO knowledgeable and nice! He really did go the extra mile. Thank you!!!

Hashan is an incredible guide, so knowledgeable and passionate about plants and history I am still blown away by all the information and care he showed me on my full day exploration of Ella. He even stayed in touch and gave me advice for solo hiking routes and train views etc - as a real friend who will go the extra mile to keep you safe and happy. I highly recommend if you are short of time and want to make it to several points or if you are traveling solo and want to share the experience. AND I recommend his tea factory tour too! You might be able to adapt the tour to your liking of you send him a WhatsApp message. Btw I will miss driving around Ella in that awesome little green Suzuki 💚 Till next time!

Very nice in Ella and surroundings! Hashahn showed us very nice places and it was a good day tour. Would always book a tour here!
