Description complète

Thomas Lipton a achete ses premieres plantations de Ceylan en 1890, et Dambatenne en faisait partie. Il a construit la fabrique qui s'y trouve encore et, selon l'histoire, il montait jusqu'a un eperon rocheux au-dessus pour observer tout ce qu'il possedait. Cet eperon est Lipton's Seat, a environ 1 970 metres, et par une matinee claire, la vue s'etend sur cinq provinces jusqu'a la plaine sud.

L'accent est mis sur le clair et sur la matinee. Vers neuf ou dix heures, la vallee en dessous se remplit de nuages et il n'y a plus rien a voir, ce qui est le meme probleme que World's End et a la meme solution: partez tot. Certains visiteurs marchent les sept kilometres depuis Dambatenne a travers le the, ce qui prend environ deux heures et constitue l'une des meilleures marches des montagnes; la plupart y vont en voiture.

La fabrique Dambatenne est une usine en activite et l'une des plus anciennes du Sri Lanka, et une visite suit la feuille des bacs de fletrissage jusqu'au roulage, l'oxydation et la cuisson jusqu'a la table de tri.

Le bungalow Adisham, en direction de Haputale, est une maison de campagne anglaise des annees 1930 construite par un planteur britannique et aujourd'hui un monastere benedictin. C'est vraiment etrange, de la pierre de style Tudor en plein pays du the sri-lankais, et les moines vendent de la confiture.

Ella est un village a 1 040 metres dans les montagnes du sud, atteint par le train depuis Kandy que la plupart des gens considerent comme le plus beau trajet ferroviaire d'Asie, et ses sites sont tous a quelques kilometres: le pont aux neuf arches, un viaduc en brique de 1921 dans une gorge de the, qu'un train traverse plusieurs fois par jour; le Little Adam's Peak, une marche de 40 minutes a travers le the jusqu'a une crete; Ella Rock, une ascension plus difficile de trois heures; et les cascades de Ravana sur la route vers Wellawaya. Les matins sont clairs et les apres-midis des mois humides apportent des nuages dans le col, donc les randonnees se font tot. Les tuk-tuks sont le transport, et chaque pension peut en trouver un.

The price does not cover tea factory and adisham entrance fees, meals and drinks, tea purchases, gratuities.. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Unless the option says private, this runs as a small group. The operator caps it rather than filling a coach, and if you want it to yourselves the private option is priced separately on this page.
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.
