Best Hotels Near Ravana Falls Ella

Ravana Falls just outside Ella is one of the widest waterfalls in Sri Lanka, a dramatic curtain of water 25 metres wide tumbling from the rocky cliff face beside the main road in a setting associated in local legend with the demon king Ravana from the Ramayana epic, who is said to have hidden the kidnapped Sita in caves behind the falls. The waterfall is popular for swimming in the pools below. Hotels in Ella provide easy access to Ravana Falls and the wider Ella area's remarkable concentration of natural and cultural attractions.
