Frequently Asked Questions
Can I book an Ella Day Tour from Colombo, Kandy, or the coast?
Yes! We offer island-wide hotel pick-up and drop-off. Our Ella tour packages are completely flexible, so we can pick you up from the airport, the cultural triangle, or the southern beaches to start your adventure.
Are the train tickets included in the tour price?
The Ella train ride Sri Lanka is a major highlight, but because these unreserved tickets must be bought in person on the day of travel, they are not included in the base price. However, your private driver will drop you at the station and personally assist you at the counter to secure your tickets!
How difficult is the hike to Little Adam's Peak?
The hike up Little Adam’s Peak is very manageable and beginner-friendly. The well-marked path gradually inclines through beautiful tea estates and takes about 45 minutes to reach the summit. It is a perfect addition to any day trip to Ella.
Can we customize the itinerary for our group?
Absolutely. Because this is a 100% private Ella Day Tour, you have the flexibility to set the pace. If you want to spend more time taking photos at the Nine Arches Bridge or stay longer at a local café for lunch, just let your driver know.
What should I wear for a Sri Lanka hill country tour?
While the coast is hot, Ella sits at a higher elevation and can be cool and misty in the mornings. We highly recommend bringing a light sweater, comfortable walking shoes for the hiking trails, and a camera for your Sri Lanka hill country tour.
