Ella Town
This tiny hill town in Sri Lanka's Uva Province, Ella sits high in tea-plantation country with a café and restaurant scene well out of proportion to its size. The Ella Gap opens onto sweeping views across the southern plains, while cloud forests and tea-covered hills surround the town on all sides. Its cooler highland climate makes it a practical base for exploring the wider region.
