Lavana Ella Falls is 5 kilometers from Ella, between the small town of Ella and Villa Walla, and you can see it on the way. It is part of the Ella Wildlife Sanctuary.

The waterfall and surrounding waterfalls are 25 meters high and flow out from an oval concave rock on the top of the mountain. Many locals will play on the edge of the waterfall, and there will be some stalls selling snacks and souvenirs around, which is a dating destination for local Sri Lankans. 2.

Little Adam Peak is located 3 kilometers east of Ella, with an altitude of 1411 meters. It is a very suitable place for hiking near Ella. It is named in the same way as the religious holy place in Sri Lanka - Adam Peak, where Adam, the father of mankind, was expelled. The first place in the world after leaving the Garden of Eden. 1. Surroundings Little Adam Peak has beautiful scenery, surrounded by lush alpine tea gardens and waterfalls, which are very beautiful. It is also a good place for photography enthusiasts. 2. The hike starts from Ella-Passara Rd. It takes about 40 minutes to reach the foot of Little Adam Peak. There are green tea gardens along the way, and the air is fresh like a natural oxygen bar. Climbing to the top of the mountain in the mist, the view is wide, the Baiyun Falls and the Ella Grand Canyon in the distance are unobstructed. And it is said that the Great Basses Lighthouse near Yarra on the southeast coast can be seen at night.Ella · 14.3 km from Badulla

I really liked this attraction as it is still an active railway line which offers the chance to get some great pictures

The waterfall is really small and cannot be compared with the large waterfalls in China. Even the less well-known waterfalls are more beautiful than this one. But the scenery around here is very good, with a lot of plants and the air is very good.

Ravana Ella Falls

The trailhead starts next to Ravana Pool Club located about 4 km to the south-east of Ella town centre. It can be easily reached by hiring a tuk-tuk. Our family took about 30 minutes to reach the peak. It is better to set out early in the morning or in the evening to avoid the scorching sun. We spent some time at the peak taking pictures while admiring the beauty of Ella.
