The Tantra
About
The Tantra is a local business in Sri Lanka. Ambagolla, 324/A Police road, Ella 90090, Sri Lanka, places it in the hill country town of Ella, inland from the coastal resorts.
A 5 out of 5 average across 39 reviews gives the café a strong record among visitors who have stopped there. Five photographs accompany the listing, and the website at https://thetantracafe.com/ carries the café's own material. The venue operates as a café rather than a hotel or restaurant, so its identity rests on the Ella address and the passing trade through the hill country.
Ella sits in the interior, so the café is reached by road or rail from Kandy rather than from the southern beach towns of Galle, Bentota, Mirissa and Unawatuna, or from Colombo and Negombo on the west coast. Arugam Bay lies on the opposite side of the island.
The hill country in central Sri Lanka is cooler and wetter than the coastal plains. Theravada Buddhism is the main religion, and full-moon Poya days are public holidays. The country was known as Ceylon until 1972, gained independence in 1948, and has ancient cities at Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa. Sinhala and Tamil are the official languages, with English widely used in administration and tourism.
