Descripción completa

Diyaluma mide 220 metros, la segunda cascada mas alta de Sri Lanka, y cae de un escarpe a unos 45 minutos al sur de Ella. La mayoria de los visitantes la fotografian desde la carretera abajo y se van, lo que pierde la razon de venir.

La razon es la cima. Un sendero empinado sube unos 45 minutos entre caucho y maleza hasta una serie de piscinas naturales de roca en el borde de la caida, donde el agua se acumula antes de precipitarse. Sentarse en una de ellas con la llanura extendida 220 metros mas abajo es la cosa mas fotografiada de las tierras altas de Uva despues del puente de los nueve arcos, y es una autentica trepada mas que un paseo.

Buduruwagala, una hora mas lejos, es el contrapeso. Siete figuras esculpidas en una pared rocosa en los siglos noveno o decimo, el Buda central en pie de dieciseis metros, y restos del estuco y la pintura originales todavia visibles. Pertenece a la tradicion mahayana, poco comun en Sri Lanka, y se encuentra en matorral casi sin nadie alli.

Las cascadas de Ravana cerca de Ella cierran el dia en el camino de regreso.

Ella es un pueblo a 1.040 metros en las montañas del sur, al que se llega en el tren desde Kandy que la mayoria considera el trayecto ferroviario mas bonito de Asia, y sus lugares de interes estan todos a pocos kilometros: el puente de los nueve arcos, un viaducto de ladrillo de 1921 en un desfiladero de te, que un tren cruza varias veces al dia; el Little Adam’s Peak, una caminata de 40 minutos entre te hasta una cresta; Ella Rock, una subida mas exigente de tres horas; y las cascadas de Ravana en la carretera hacia Wellawaya. Las mañanas son claras y las tardes de los meses humedos traen nubes al paso, por eso las caminatas se hacen temprano. Los tuk-tuks son el transporte, y cualquier alojamiento puede conseguir uno.

Had an amazing day with our guide Dila! He was attentive, helpful, and took very nice pictures and videos. We went to both waterfalls, swam in the ponds in upper Diyaluma and also saw the nice temple. Moreover, Dila had some little surprises for us on the way 🙂 I highly recommand. Thank you for this wonderful tour!

Preguntas frecuentes

Hotel pickup in Ella; the exact address and time are confirmed after booking.
The price does not cover the buduruwagala entrance fee, meals and drinks, a local guide at the falls where one is engaged, gratuities.. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Religious sites expect shoulders and knees covered, and shoes come off before entering many of them. A light scarf is worth carrying. Where a site enforces this at the gate, arriving dressed correctly saves the whole group time.
Lanka Travel Hub. We book with them directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can confirm your place with the operator before taking it as final.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice outside India. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the scheduled start time for a smooth check-in. Your guide will meet you at the designated meeting point and ensure the experience runs on schedule while remaining flexible to your pace.
For most experiences, we highly recommend an early morning start. This allows you to avoid the midday heat, bypass the largest crowds, and capture the best lighting for photography. Your guide can advise on the optimal timing based on the season and specific attractions included.

A 20-25 minute walk downhill from Ella town through tea and jungle — uphill on the way back. A tuk-tuk to the Demodara side is quieter and saves the climb. It is free, with no ticket and no official viewing area. See our Nine Arch Bridge guide.
Roughly every two hours, but Sri Lanka Railways runs 30-90 minutes late routinely, so any blog quoting exact times is quoting a timetable rather than reality. Ask at Ella station on the morning — staff will tell you what is expected and how late it is running.
Little Adam's Peak for almost everyone — 45 minutes up a stepped path for arguably the better view, out through the Ella Gap. Ella Rock is three hours return, largely unsigned, and people get lost on it regularly; take a guide or an offline map. Compared in full here.
Reserved seats open 30 days ahead and sell out within hours from December to March. Unreserved 2nd/3rd class is sold on the day and always available — you will stand, which is where the open doorways are. Send your luggage ahead by road if you have a driver. See getting to Ella.
January to March for the clearest Ella Gap views. June to September is dry but hazy from the Uva wind; October to December is wet. The real risk is cloud, not rain — at 1,000 m the view can be inside a cloud on a dry day, and mornings are clearer than afternoons in every month. See best time to visit Ella.
Two nights, which gives you two dawns — Little Adam's Peak on one, Ella Rock or a tea morning on the other, with the bridge mid-morning on day one. Our Ella 2-day itinerary sets out the order.
Do everything before nine in the morning. The Gap view is clearer in the morning in every month, Little Adam's Peak has a queue by nine, and the Nine Arch Bridge has hundreds of people on it by ten.
