Descripción completa

Udawalawe esta a dos horas al sur de Ella y es el parque a tomar si quiere ver elefantes en lugar de esperar un leopardo. Se creo en 1972 para proteger la cuenca de un nuevo embalse, y las tierras de cultivo desplazadas se convirtieron en pastizal abierto, por lo que los animales aqui son visibles de una manera que no lo son en los parques boscosos.

La poblacion residente es de unos seiscientos, y las manadas suelen estar visibles dentro de los veinte minutos desde la entrada. Bufalos de agua, ciervos moteados, chacales, cocodrilos marinos junto al embalse, y una observacion de aves excepcional: aguilas culebreras, aguilas azor mudables, cigueñas pintadas y una gran afluencia de migrantes invernales.

El Elephant Transit Home en el limite del parque es un centro de rehabilitacion en lugar de un orfanato, los terneros huerfanos se crian con contacto humano minimo y se liberan de vuelta a la naturaleza en grupos, y varios cientos han regresado. La alimentacion se observa desde una plataforma a distancia. No hay montar ni bañarse aqui, que es el objetivo.

Las cascadas de Ravana cierran el dia en la carretera de regreso a Ella.

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.

Our Udawalawe safari was an amazing experience and completely flawless from start to finish. Dila picked us up from our hotel in Ella at 4am and we arrived at the national park a little before 6am. We met Amasha with his jeep at the entrance and before we knew it we were heading into the park. Amasha clearly knew his stuff, he would stop the car when he spotted something which we never would’ve seen ourselves! All of the guides would communicate and let each other know if there was something to be seen so we didn’t feel like we missed a thing. We saw lots of birds, crocodiles, mongooses and of course elephants, which were beautiful! Once our tour was over Dila took us back to Ella with a few stops on the way to look at the very impressive rice fields and waterfalls and he explained lots about these things too. Both Dila and Amasha were fantastic and we highly recommend anyone interested in doing a safari with drop off/pick up to book with them!

Preguntas frecuentes

Hotel pickup in Ella, Bandarawela or Haputale; confirmed after booking.
The price does not cover the national park permit and transit home entrance, paid at the gate, meals, gratuities.. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
No, and anyone promising them is guessing. These are wild animals in open country. Early departures give the best odds because that is when animals are active and the light is good.
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.

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.
