Ella sits in the cool heart of Sri Lanka's Hill Country, ringed by tea estates, waterfalls, and the kind of view that makes you stop mid-sentence. It's the best base for the Nine Arches Bridge, gentle hikes up Little Adam's Peak, and the country's most scenic train ride along the ridge toward Kandy.
Best reached by the scenic train from Kandy (about 6–7 hours) or a 5-hour drive.
