The Perfect Way to Spend One Day in Ella, Sri Lanka - Where to Stay, Eat, and Visit
Ella is one of the BEST places in all of Sri Lanka! We love this small tourist town so much and share our favourite place to stay, eat, and visit in this video. If you are traveling to Ella and want to know how best to spend one day here, then you've come to the right video. We might be most excited to show you where we are staying in Ella! In our opinion, Idyll Homestay is the best place to stay in Ella, Sri Lanka. If you want to book a stay there, you can reach out to Anil (the owner) via Whats'App at +94 071 911 3701. There is something so magical about waking up in the hills of Ella to the monkeys and birds that makes us feel so at peace.
During our one day in Ella we made the short journey to the famous Nine Arch Bridge after a glorious morning at Idyll Homestay. Nine Arch Bridge is another place in Ella that feels like it's out of a storybook (maybe all of Ella feels like that). This iconic bridge is one of the most well-known and photographed places in all of Sri Lanka. The incredible workmanship of the bridge is beautifully placed among the luscious plant life that can be found everywhere in Sri Lanka, making is so easy to photograph.
Then it was time to head to One Love to try Sri Lankan food! Sri Lankan rice and curry is one of kind, and we tried some really delicious varieties of curry during our lunch meal, followed by some Sri Lankan lamprais which we had never had before. Sri Lankan food is incredible, and we highly recommend you visit this restaurant in Ella if you want to try some authentic Sri Lankan food!
Another thing you have to do on your visit to Ella is see the famous Ella tea plantations. You can go on a tea plantation tour in Ella, but our preference was to hop on Wanda and explore the tea plantations via scooter. And of course, you can't miss Ravana falls when you're in Ella! But seriously, beware of the monkeys!
Our one day in Ella was so amazing and we hope you love it as much as we do if you are heading there soon!

======================
Hey there! We are Nicole and Mico and in March 2021, we quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and began traveling the world! We never thought we'd be making travel vlogs on KZread, but after realizing that we had a unique opportunity to share our adventure and make the world feel more familiar and inviting to anyone watching, we took the leap and picked up the camera! We hope our videos show how wonderful, delicious, and friendly the world can be.

I enjoy seeing all your animal encounters and how lovely it was that you were able to meet back up with your pup friend to see how she was thriving. And my goodness your lunch looked so yummy.
8:40 The name reminded me of a very sad story. Dog Laika the first living creature to be shot into space and orbit Earth. There were no plans to return her to Earth, and she lived only a few hours in orbit. Love your videos, they are the best. Leaving for Sri Lanka tomorrow. 🚝🏝🏖
