Enjoyable day trip from Kandy to Ella thru the scenic route. Made our day

Janaka an expert driver, knowledgeable guide and informative person. He is kind and humble like all Sri Lanka people are. Reasonable priced. We where a couple and had a good laugh, along with Janaka. The train journey was made simple and straightforward with his help. Perfect day out Kandy to Ella. He stopped at the a Waterfall, Battlefields Tea estate experience, Gregory Lake. We loved it.

Amazing road trip !

My husband and I had an amazing tour with our tour guide Janaka from Kandy to Ella. We started in Kandy and drove to Nuwara Eliya where we saw amazing waterfalls and had a great and informative visit to a tea plantation . The next day we walked Horton Plains which is a beautiful world heritage site with breathtaking views . Later we got the train from Nuwara Eliya to Ella which took in more breathtaking scenery. We were met there by Janaka who took us to the nine arch bridge and later drove us back to Nuwara Eliya . Janaka was super friendly and really informative. I thoroughly recommend this amazing tour with Janaka if you get the chance .
