The landscapes were stunning and the route perfectly chosen to see the highlights around Ella. What really made this tour special was our guide Ajith.

“Wycieczka rozpoczęła się spod naszego hotelu. Klimatyczny przejazd tuk-tukiem z przerwami na punkty widokowe, przewodnicy byli bardzo uprzejmi, dużo tłumaczyli, opowiadali, przygotowali dla nas poczęstunek w postaci lokalnych owoców podczas przejazdu. Najlepsi fotografowie! W trakcie pieszej wędrówki zrobili nam dużo zdjęć, pokazali nam najlepsze miejsca przy wodospadach, w których można popływać, odpocząć i nawet skakać. Chętnie pomagali podczas przenoszenia naszych rzeczy w dalsze miejsca wycieczki i cały czas dbali o nasze bezpieczeństwo. Posiłek przewidziany po zejściu z wodospadów był bardzo dobry.
