EP 07: WE TRIED 5 POPULAR THINGS TO DO IN ELLA... this is how it went! (Ella Sri Lanka Vlog)

Ella, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 is without a doubt the most popular stop for anyone visiting this country. It's famous for its incredible nature, and of course the iconic Sri Lankan highlands. And spoiler alert, IT'S ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!
In today's video we spent 3 days driving our little tuktuk Aliya all over Ella searching for the best things to do in the area. We hope you enjoy it and that you can even steal our itinerary! We made a PDF with everything we showed in the video, plus other local recommendations and personal highlights that didn't make it to the vlog ;) It's always our goal for you to have the best trip ever!

I meant sunrise, it took a bit over 3 hours but it was worse while. It was a magic you could see the shadow of Adams Peak on the clouds.You should do it next time! Nice video series! I defiantly wanna go back next year. @@waysoftheworld_

Hi guys, thanks for all your beautiful and amazing videos. We fell in love with Sir Lanka due to your videos ❤. Wanted to ask if you booked your nightly stays ahead of time, or as you were traveling and stopping at different towns? TIA

[@waysoftheworld_]

Hi! This makes us so happy to hear. It was our goal for other people to fall in love with Sri Lanka too! ❤️ We usually book in advance (a week or so). We like to have the peace of mind of knowing where we will spent the night 😂 In the low season you should have no issues booking as you stop, but in the high season we recommend booking in advance :) Enjoy paradise 😊

0:58 the way that monkey pulls ticks from the other monkey 🙊🙊 So cute... btw amazing vdo guys ♥️

So cute! I (Aimara) was terrified of monkeys before this trip, but I changed my mine after Sri Lanka. We saw so many!!

Amazing, thank you for sharing! How long did you spend in the Ella/Badulla area?

We stayed a total of 4 nights - 3 in Badulla 1 in Ella. But we had some slow days where we stayed in and worked... You can see a lot in two or three full days in that area. 😎

[@TOPPAtrippers]

Very informative videos you do a great job. Is it feasible or worth doing a day trip from Kandy to Ella? We are basing ourselves in Colombo and Kandy for a week each and aim to do day trips due to the range of ages on our family trip ranging from 9 to 80. Thoughts?

[@waysoftheworld_]

Hmmm, no I think that would be too far to go back and forth in a day. Also, Ella town is not much to see. So once you are there you'll have to do stuff, like hike or visit waterfalls. Being in Ella town is not the same as experiencing Ella, if that makes sense? Nuware Eliya is slightly more manageable, but still quite far.

She's surrounded by so many beautiful tea plantations and she makes that bad joke. Unless you don't drink tea at all, you guys are in the best place to try some really good types of tea. Let's find out what your cup of tea is!

Can you fly drone in srilanka? I thought it was banned?

[@waysoftheworld_]

No, it's not banned (unless it was recently changed). Though there are a decent amount of military camps around the country, obv you don't want to fly near those. And it is banned to fly at the Ella train - we used stock footage for those drone images.
