Ella Hiking

Hello

I am traveling to Ella from Kandy and I have a few questions if anyone is able to help at all?

I'm desperately trying to book an observation seat on a train from Kandy to Ella but am struggling to find a website/tour agent who I can do this through (i'm not even sure if this is possible!).

I'm also traveling solo and a little wary of hiking alone. I was wondering if anyone can recommend or know of group hiking tours in Ella? Also I was interested in visiting Lipton or Worlds End and was wondering if there were group tours here also to keep the costs down?

I then would like to book another observation train from Kandy to Haputale and again,. was wondering if I can book this in advance.

Best wishes

Gill

Hi I have PMd you contact details of someone who may be able to help with train tickets.

Hi, last year when we came to Sri Lanka we were looking for a travel agency who would organise a day excursion for us, that's when we came across Diethelm Travel. Last time I checked their website they had hiking excursions, and I'm sure if you inquire they will be able to organise any kind of excursions/tour of your liking.

Hi Bunyip58.
I have a similar query. Any chance you could pm me with the details too?
Thanks in advance

Yep, done.

Any chance I can get the details too?
Thanks!

Re the hiking.

If it is a popular thing to do in Ella there will be lots of agencies offering it. Hotels as well.

If there's cash in it there will be plenty of people offering, although you often find most are just agents for one or two operators.

Received. Many Thanks.

I am having the same problem but in the other direction. Can you PM me the details too please so that I can look into booking tickets going from Ella to Kandy?

Hi, I will also be travelling solo and in Ella from the 13 Dec.. Please could you PM the details too?

Thanks,

Buniyip. If you are not advertising your own business but making a one off recommendation for a travel service, I don't think there is any problem with naming them here.

Also, you are a regular poster and not a one off advertiser.

any chance I could also get a PM with the contact details of someone who may be able to help with train tickets to book in advance? Many thanks!

Me too please ! Thanks
