THE ELLA NOTEBOOK
Good things
to know.
Plan the journey+
Check railway reservations or arrange your road transport in advance. Share your arrival plans with the hotel so the team can help with the final directions.
Pack for the hills+
Bring comfortable walking shoes, a light layer and rain protection. Check the forecast before a walk and allow room in your plans for changing weather.
Leave time for the view+
Choose a few outings you really want to do. A slow breakfast and an evening on the balcony can be part of the trip too.
Respect the surroundings+
Leave no litter, keep a safe distance from wildlife and avoid feeding animals. Stay on suitable paths and follow local guidance.
Check travel requirements+
Entry requirements depend on your nationality and travel circumstances. Check the official Sri Lankan immigration guidance before travelling.
Ask before arrival+
Confirm your room, meal inclusions, payment method, cancellation terms and check-in arrangements with the hotel.
