Nice day trip, but this is not a tour and it is way too expensive.

The tour is not value for money, neither is it a tour, but rather a glorified taxi service. Whilst our driver was incredibly friendly and patient, we realised he was a third party to our actual booking. We paid 70500 rupees which we now know from locals that it was way too much. You would be better off booking a taxi to Ella and exploring these for yourselves. Issues we had included: - We were expecting a little more of a tour. It was the first time our driver had been to some locations so he couldn’t tell us more about history. - The taxi driver who picked us up wasn't the one specified on the booking which is a security risk
