Overview
Journey from the sun-kissed shores of Arugam Bay to the misty hills of Ella, with a thrilling hike to Upper Diyaluma Falls — Sri Lanka's second-highest waterfall — for swimming in natural pools, a village lunch, and unforgettable highland scenery.
Your adventure starts at your Arugam Bay accommodation, where you'll be picked up early to begin a scenic drive through Sri Lanka's stunning countryside. The winding roads carry you through villages and lush landscapes, setting the tone for a day of discovery.
The centerpiece of the journey is a guided trek to Upper Diyaluma Falls, cascading more than 220 meters from the central highlands. An experienced local guide leads you along forest paths and off-the-beaten-track trails through grasslands, revealing breathtaking viewpoints before you reach the magnificent falls and their pristine natural pools. Take a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear mountain water — pure streams flowing straight from the central peaks — and soak in the panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
After the trek, sit down to a delicious, authentic village lunch before continuing your journey to Ella, the charming hill-country town celebrated for its verdant tea plantations and sweeping views. You'll be dropped off directly at your accommodation, ready to settle into one of Sri Lanka's most beloved destinations.
