The driver and the man checking the bus cards were kind and wake us up at the station of our final destination. The bus was clean and reserved seats were waiting for us.

Nothing fancy or crazy about the journey. The buses were clean and comfortable. The ticket manager was very helpful with telling us where to get off for our trip to Ella. There is a halfway point for food and toilet break but it is very far. Do not recommend drinking too much or eating spicy food right before. The countryside views are amazing so if you enjoy nature, you will LOVE the scenery. Highly recommend.
