Ella is one of my favorite areas in Sri Lanka.
It is situated in Uva Province quite close to Haputhale. Ella literally means waterfall. Infact, Ravana Falls is not so faraway from Ella. Ella pass is another entry point to central highlands and within two hour drive you can reach Thissamaharama via Wellawaya.
This picture was taken from the famous Ella Rest house.

Oh my, I spent my birthday in Ella in 2006. Thanks for bringing back happy memories. It is such a gorgeous place.
What a beautiful scene and a lovely photo!
dreamy, like a wonderful painting.
Since I love waterfall, I love Ella too.
I also agree with you, its a very beautiful place with nice climatic conditions.....
KP, Thanks a lot, my heart is still beating hard!
The first time I saw Ella gap I was like :O hehe! :D Lovely shot you've captured there K!
There was a nice rest house where you could stay, on the Wellawaya road. Have you been to Dova rock temple? :)
Excellent picture K :D.
The shades of the mountains is very beautiful and the view I'm sure would have been breath taking in real life.
Looking forward for more.
Cheers!
Betchai,
Yes, it is an excellent area for hiking
Mahasen,
You should go there. If you want to book the rest house then you have to do it well in advance
Loshni,

Of course you will find this place very interesting
Tony,
Yes, Haputale, Diyathalawa, Ella ..all these places have ideal climatic conditions for a cool holiday. NuwaraEliya side is cool too but it is too wet and humid.
Magerata,
Yes it is breathtaking beauty from here. :)
Chavie,
Yes I have gone to Dova. Excellent place too. Im not sure this rest house you mentioned. Is it Ella rest house (Now known as Grand Ella Motel) or something further towards Wellawaya?
I’ll upload more photos of Ella Gap. :)
Me-shak,
Yes you can see mountains far away and beyond. Mountains in Ella have this distinctive greenish shade too. It is truly a beautiful place for a nature lover.
Thanks all for your wonderful comments!
What a great view! Thanks for the info too.
This goes to my list as well. Must visit the place really soon :D
Anjana,
You will surely be clicking your camera non-stop from this place :)

This is a marvelous picture of the pass. It looks like a peace of heaven. I would really like to hike this area in person.
What an amazing view! I'd definitely gape too like Chavie did if I were there.. =D
We're always surrounded by mountains here but I've never seen a vista like this.. esp. with so many layers of hills crisscrossing.
hello Kirigalpoththa~ you never fail to share these spectacular views with us. this and the post below are beautiful. my only regret is that i can't be there in person. have a great weekend.
George,
Ella is a unique area in Sri Lanka and I have not seen similar cliamte and vegetation in anywhere else in SL.
Harumi,
The view from here is amazing. The day I took this it was not the clearest day. On a better day it would have been even better.
Naquillity,
Thanks for your lovely comments as always. :)
What a breathtaking view! I would love to be able to hike in this area...
Amaris,
You'll surely like hiking this area :)
Thanks for your comments.
i like mountain scenery!
Wenn,
Thanks very much for your comments.
I love the panoramic view here. But my spine is chilling because it is cold .... highlands are cold places to live but refreshing and envigorating. Not for the old lady like me.
Thanks for the visit. Just enjoy your baby .... she won't be a baby for long.
Must be more than a joy to spend a whole life discovering its beauty and content. Please have a great Sunday.

Bonnie Bonsai,
In sri Lanka highlands are not so cold compared to temperate zone. Here you would usually get 20 - 24C temperature during daytime. At night it may be bit colder around 18 - 20C.
Yes she is growing fast. I can see it everyday :)
Thanks a lot for your comments.
ρομπερτ,
