Hill Country
Ella
Waterfalls, trails and the famous train.
A small hill town wedged into a gap in the mountains, with a view straight down to the southern plains on a clear morning. Ella is where the hill country slows to walking pace.
Short trails, waterfalls and a colonial-era viaduct are all within reach of a single base, which makes it a natural place to stop moving for two nights.
