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.
