Best Day Tour from Kandy to Ella 🇱🇰

We experienced so much in just one day! We started the morning with a visit to the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy then stopped at a tea factory to learn about Sri Lanka's famous tea. Along the way we enjoyed beautiful viewpoints in Nuwara Eliya visited the famous Gregory Lake, admired stunning waterfalls and climbed the breathtaking Ambuluwawa Tower for unforgettable panoramic views. The scenic drive from Kandy to Ella was amazing . This was truly one of the best day tours we had in Sri Lanka. Highly recommended!
