Ella, a small town nestled in the highlands of Sri Lanka, is famous for its breathtaking views, epic hikes, and endless rolling tea plantations. But for those looking to inject a jolt of adrenaline into their tranquil vacation, the Flying Ravana Mega Zipline offers an unforgettable experience.
It’s Sri Lanka’s first ever mega dual zip line, giving you the chance to soar like a bird over the famous Ella Gap and the iconic green landscapes.
The Flying Ravana Experience: What to Expect
The feeling of flying at 80km/h over a valley of vibrant green tea bushes is truly exhilarating. Many travelers describe it as a safe, professional, and scenic thrill. The operation is well known for its strict safety checks and professional staff, who are typically certified Zip Masters.
