Ella town is a very busy town contrast to Ohiya. It was well passed 5 pm and we came to Ella town to have lunch. Gaminie’s van was ready and we came to Hill Safari Eco Lodge which is 5 KM away from Ohiya station. We got into the train from Gampaha at 8.35 pm and reached Ohiya by 5.00 am next day. Gamini, owner of one of these two boutiques has a van and a three wheel.ĭuring last December holidays we planned a family trip to this scenic village. Only public transport available is one CTB bus running between Boralanda and Ohiya, 4 – 5 days a week and there are no private buses. Police area is Haputhale and the Police station is 24 KM away. Nearest town by road is Boralanda (10 KM). The entire town consists of two boutiques and the railway station only. Normal temperature is less than 12 Celsius. Ohiya is a rural village and one of the most scenic and coolest places in Sri Lanka.
