Ella Tour Packages
A laid-back mountain village of viaducts, peaks and tea-garden trails.
Ella is Sri Lanka's most loved hill-country village, a relaxed base amid tea gardens, waterfalls and sweeping mountain views. It is famous for the Nine Arch Bridge, the gentle climb up Little Adam's Peak and the celebrated scenic train that winds here through the tea hills. Cool, green and easy-going, it is a walker's delight. Holiday Vibez threads Ella into your itinerary with the unforgettable Kandy–Ella train ride.

Why visit Ella
Ella is the perfect hill-country pause — a small, friendly village surrounded by tea gardens and viewpoints, with easy hikes and one of the world's great train rides at its door. It is where travellers slow down and breathe in the mountain air.
What to see and do
Ella's headline experiences include:
- The photogenic Nine Arch Bridge
- An easy climb up Little Adam's Peak
- The scenic Kandy–Ella train ride
- Ravana Falls and tea-estate walks
How to reach
The classic approach is the scenic train from Kandy or Nuwara Eliya — book ahead for the best seats. By road, a private car and driver brings you through winding tea-country lanes.
Best time to visit
The hills are at their finest December to March, with clearer skies for hikes and bridge views. Ella can be misty and cool any time of year, so a light jacket is handy.
Visa (ETA)
Indian travellers need an online ETA before arrival. It is usually quick to obtain, and Holiday Vibez assists you through the process.
Travel tips
Wear good shoes for the trails and start hikes early to beat the mist and crowds. For the Nine Arch Bridge, check train times to catch a crossing. Estate-fresh Ceylon tea is a must-try.

Real stories from real journeys
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
