Private Transfer from Galle to Ella

Experience Sri Lanka's dramatic landscape transformation—from Galle's colonial streets and golden beaches to Ella's misty tea gardens and mountain views. This 190 km journey is a showcase of the island's geographic diversity: starting along the sun-drenched southern coast, turning inland through tropical lowlands, then climbing steadily into the emerald embrace of Ceylon's tea country. By journey's end, you'll have traded sea breezes for mountain air and palm trees for pine forests. The iconic Ravana Falls marks your approach to Ella, one of the world's most charming hill stations.
