Majestic waterfalls, hidden caves, breathtaking vistas across the mountains: Ella is a little town with big attractions. One of the hill country’s most loved destinations, it is the hub of cool in the hills. The main attraction of Ella is the breathtaking view from the ‘Ella Gap’ – looking out between the majestic bulk of Ella Rock on the right and through a gap in the hills to the plains miles down below.
