Ella: All-Inclusive Diyaluma and Ravana Waterfalls Day Tour

15.All-Inclusive Diyaluma and Ravana Waterfalls Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9 reviews · 8.5 hours · from $55

Travel by tuk-tuk from Ella or Demodara to Ravana Falls, Diyaluma Falls, and the pools above Upper Diyaluma. Your guide leads a jungle walk, helps with tricky sections, takes photos, and serves a local lunch with drinks. Shifar has guided many recent outings. Allow 8.5 hours and bring sturdy shoes, swimwear, and a towel.

“Es war ein toller Tag. Da wir früh starteten waren wir vor dem Ansturm am ersten Wasserfall. Weiter ging es zu den Diyaluma Fällen. Trotz Trockenzeit konnten wir in den Pools baden. Springen und Rutschen inklusive. Die kleine Wanderung dorthin war abwechslungsreich. Ich würde feste Schuhe empfehlen. Das Mittagessen konnte man sich vorher aussuchen und als wir zurück zum Parkplatz am Restaurant waren, wurde es uns frisch serviert. Während der Tour gab es zahlreiche Möglichkeiten für Fotos und Shifar unser Giude assistiert gern. Perfekte Tour, um dem Trubel in Ella mal für 6-7 h zu entgehen”
