Nuwara Eliya to Ella Transfer
Colonial heights to bohemian cool: Little England to Ella's famous viewpoints.
Private Transfer from Nuwara Eliya to Ella
Connect Sri Lanka's two most charming hill stations in one breathtaking journey. This 58 km mountain drive takes you from Nuwara Eliya's colonial elegance to Ella's bohemian backpacker vibe, traversing the island's highest passes and most dramatic viewpoints. The route skirts Horton Plains National Park (home to World's End cliff), winds past Hakgala's botanical gardens, then dramatically descends through the Ella Gap—where endless tea hills cascade toward the distant coast. It's a short transfer but every kilometer is spectacular.
