The Central Highlands
At GlenMyu Estate, we find that many of our guests find the cooler temperatures of the hill country a relief.
Ella is one of the must see places to visit in the central highlands of Sri Lanka. Seeing Nine Arch Bridge, hiking Little Adams Peak and taking a dip in Ravanna Waterfall are all great experiences.
We find that guests choose GlenMyu Estate as they don’t want to be in a busy tourist town.
Not just Ella
Ella is a great place to visit, but there is so much more to experience in the Central Hills.
Horton Plains National Park, Lipton’s Seat, Diyaluma Waterfall and Bambarakanda Waterfall are just a few places that are amazing.
