How do I travel to Kubalwela Asapuwa from Ella town?

The easiest way to travel from Ella town to Kubalwela Asapuwa is to hire a local tuk-tuk for a quick and scenic 15-minute drive along the Ella-Bandarawela main road.

Since the monastery sits on a noticeable hill just a few kilometres out of Ella, getting there is pretty straightforward. You can also catch any public bus going towards Bandarawela from the Ella town centre, then ask the conductor to let you off at the Kubalwela temple junction. From the main road, expect a short uphill trek to reach the main entrance.
