Central Sri Lanka's hill country runs cooler and wetter than the coastal plains, which shapes how evenings feel in Ella. Buses serve most routes, three-wheelers handle short trips, and traffic drives on the left. Meals across the island centre on rice and curry, with hoppers, string hoppers and kottu roti eaten daily. The country was known as Ceylon until 1972, gained independence in 1948, and holds ancient cities at Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa.
