Description complète

Meemure se trouve dans une vallee a l'interieur de la chaine des Knuckles, entouree de sommets, et jusqu'aux annees 1990 le seul acces etait un sentier pietonnier. Il a recu l'electricite en 2016. Cet isolement est la raison pour laquelle le trajet en vaut la peine: le village cultive encore comme la vallee l'a toujours fait, et les maisons, les terrasses de riz et le rythme quotidien ne sont pas organises pour les visiteurs.

La route jusque-la est la premiere partie de la journee, environ trois heures depuis Kandy, la derniere heure assez difficile pour que le dernier tronçon se fasse generalement en jeep. Elle traverse la foret protegee des Knuckles, une chaine classee par l'UNESCO de foret de nuages et de prairies abritant des especes qui n'existent nulle part ailleurs.

Dans le village, vous marchez: a travers les terrasses de riz, devant l'ecole, et vers la cascade de Diyakarella, environ deux heures aller-retour sur un sentier forestier avec un bassin au fond ou vous pouvez vous baigner. La marche est moderee plutot que difficile, mais elle est accidentee et glissante par temps humide.

Le dejeuner se cuisine dans le village, riz et curry, sur un feu de bois, mange ou il a ete prepare. Puis le long chemin du retour, avec une arrivee a Kandy en soiree.

Kandy fut la derniere capitale des rois cinghalais, resistant aux Portugais et aux Hollandais jusqu'a ce que les Britanniques la prennent en 1815, et le Temple de la Sainte Dent Relique sur le lac explique son importance: la relique, consideree comme une dent du Bouddha, est l'objet le plus sacre de l'ile et sa garde legitimait autrefois la royaute. La chambre de la relique ouvre pour le puja trois fois par jour, vers 5h30, 9h30 et 18h30, quand les tambours commencent et que la file avance devant le reliquaire. La tenue couvre epaules et genoux, les chaussures se retirent a l'entree, et l'Esala Perahera en juillet ou aout fait parader le reliquaire sur un elephant a travers la ville pendant dix nuits.

Hotel pickup in Kandy; the exact address and time are confirmed after booking.
The price does not cover drinks beyond those served with lunch, gratuities, any community or forest entry fee, personal expenses.. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Expect uneven ground and some climbing, and mud after rain. Trainers with grip are the minimum and proper shoes are better. The pace follows the group, so tell your guide early if you want it slower rather than at the point you are struggling.
Lanka Trek. 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.
Time it for a puja — 5.30am, 9.30am or 6.30pm. Those are the only windows when the upper relic chamber opens and the hevisi drummers play; outside them you are visiting a beautiful building rather than a ceremony. Take socks: shoes come off at the gate and the stone courtyard gets painfully hot. Full detail in our Temple of the Tooth guide.
February for the clearest weather, or July-August, which is drier here than most people expect and covers the Esala Perahera. Kandy sits between Sri Lanka's *two* monsoons and catches some of both, so it has no long dry season — but it also never has a season that is a write-off. See best time to visit Kandy.
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 and the famous photographs are. Sit on the right-hand side going south. Note there is no Nuwara Eliya station; the stop is Nanu Oya, 10 km away. See our Kandy to Ella train guide.
July or August — but the dates move every year with the lunar calendar, so any guide naming a fixed week is guessing. It runs ten nights and ends on the Nikini poya. Book accommodation on the route six to twelve months ahead. Details in our Esala Perahera guide.
Sigiriya and Dambulla (2.5 hrs each way) is the best of them. Kitulgala rafting is 2 hrs, the Knuckles range and Pekoe Trail stages are day hikes from here. Ella, Galle and Yala are *too far* — 4-6 hours each way. See day trips from Kandy.
Two nights. One full day for the town — Bahirawakanda, Peradeniya gardens, the lake and the evening puja — and a second for a hike, a village day or the cultural triangle. Our Kandy 2-day itinerary lays it out hour by hour.
The centre and the lake circuit are walkable. For anything up a hill or out of town, take a tuk-tuk — roughly LKR 100-150/km on the meter, and ride-hailing apps price it automatically with no negotiation. See getting around Kandy.
