Ella

Nine Arch Bridge, Little Adam’s Peak and Ravana Falls. Worth nights, not a window stop.

Ella is small and it fills up. The reason to stay is the train arriving into the hills, Nine Arch Bridge in a quieter hour, and a short hike such as Little Adam’s Peak. Ravana Falls is a stop on the road, not a half day.

The honeymoon sample uses two nights in a superior room on the station side. The wildlife sample uses Ella as the start, before Udawalawe and Yala, so the walks happen before anyone is thinking about a jeep. One night is only enough if the train is the whole point and you are happy to leave in the morning.
