Should we split this journey?

Recommended! Overnight in Kandy, see Temple, then scenic drive to Ella next day.

Can we do it in one day?

Yes, with very early departure (5-6 AM). Long day but doable with breaks.

What about the train?

Consider: transfer to Kandy, Kandy-Ella train. More scenic, similar total time.

Do you pick from airport?

Yes! Direct airport to Ella is possible, best after night near airport.

Pickup, driver, tolls, all taxes. Lunch stops not included but we recommend good restaurants.
