This is a shared, scheduled shuttle running one way from Ella to Kandy. Seats are sold per guest, from one to eight, so you book only the places you need and travel alongside other passengers on the same departure.
The service leaves Ella at 2:00 PM and reaches Kandy at 7:30 PM, with the journey taking approximately 5.5 hours depending on traffic. Transport is in a comfortable air-conditioned standard vehicle with an English-speaking driver, covering one of the more straightforward road connections in the hill country of Sri Lanka.
