About this experience
This is the road from Kandy to Ella, driven privately with the stops built in. Instead of a straight transfer, your chauffeur takes the climb into the hill country slowly, pulling over where the route is worth leaving the car: a working tea plantation, a waterfall beside the road, the lake and colonial streets of Nuwara Eliya. You arrive in Ella having actually seen the country between the two towns rather than watching it pass the window.
You begin in Kandy at the Temple of the Tooth, the sacred shrine at the heart of the town. From there the road climbs into cooler air and your driver stops at a tea plantation, where you watch the tea-making process and drink a cup of freshly brewed Ceylon tea looking out over the slopes. Next comes Ramboda Falls, where you pause to admire the cascading water, then Gregory Park for a walk beside the lake. You see the Nuwara Eliya Post Office before the final run through winding mountain roads into Ella.
Your booking covers the air-conditioned vehicle, chauffeur, hotel pickup in Kandy and drop-off in Ella, bottled water and all taxes. The tour runs 8 hours in total and is bookable for 1 to 8 guests, with instant confirmation. Cancel free of charge with more than 24 hours notice; inside that window no refund is given.
