Your transfer to Mountain Heavens

Mountain Heavens is in Ella, 225 kilometres from Bandaranaike International Airport — about 6 hours in normal traffic.

Mountain Heavens is close to the centre of Ella, so the end of the drive is the city itself — the stretch that varies with the hour rather than with the route. The fare is the same for any address in Ella, but arriving in the afternoon rush is not the same journey as arriving at dawn.

For a sense of the shape of the journey: Mountain Heavens is about 133 kilometres from the airport in a straight line against the 225 kilometres the road actually covers.

The nearest hotel on this site is Ella Flower Garden Resort in Ella, about 1.2 km away.

Day trips from Mountain Heavens

  • Nine Arch Bridge, Ella — about 2 km away in a straight line. A colonial-era viaduct on the hill railway, in the jungle below Ella. Free, and busiest when a train is due. Allow 1–2 hours.
  • Ravana Falls — about 3 km away in a straight line. A wide fall right beside the Ella to Wellawaya road, named for the king who is said to have hidden Sita in the caves above it. Allow an hour.
  • Liptons Seat — about 11 km away in a straight line. The lookout where Thomas Lipton surveyed his estates, reached through tea fields above Haputale. On a clear morning the view runs to the south coast. Allow a morning, and go at dawn.
  • Diyaluma Falls — about 15 km away in a straight line. The second-highest waterfall on the island, dropping 220 metres in a single fall, with natural pools at the top for anyone willing to walk up. Allow a few hours.
  • Horton Plains & World's End — about 28 km away in a straight line. High plateau grassland at 2,100 m, and a cliff that drops away nearly a kilometre. A 9 km loop walk. Allow 4–5 hours.

How this transfer works

One fixed price for the whole car, not per seat. There is no meter, so the figure you are quoted is the figure the booking honours. Give your flight number and the arrival is tracked, so a delayed landing does not cost you the car.

The return leg from Mountain Heavens is the same journey booked the other way, at the same price, and can be arranged now or later in your stay. Departures want you at Bandaranaike three hours before a long-haul flight, so add the 6 hr back to that.
