Ella · full day · private tuk tuk
The whole of Ella, in one tuk tuk.
Pickup at 7:00am. Nine stops. Driver and water in the rate. $50 for two people. Lunch and entry fees are on you.
A private tuk tuk, not a packed minibus. We start at seven, walk the bridge and the peak while the light is still kind, then drop south for water — Ravana Ella and a quieter pool — before lunch in town and the monastery and tea on the way home.
