Overview

We will pick you from Ella, Haputale, Bandarawela or suburbs and our 1st stop among three icons will be Ella rock. We will start from the trail near Kithal Ella railway station and upon reaching to the top, you will witness breathtaking views of the surroundings. Next, we will visit the historic nine arch bridge which will bring you back to the British colonial era. Popular rumors suggest that when construction work commenced on the bridge, “the Great war” began between the empires of Europe and the steel assigned to this site was reallocated to Britain’s War related projects at the battlefront. As a result, the work came to a standstill, leading the locals to build the bridge with stone bricks and cement, but without steel. Then we will stop for the traditional lunch at a local restaurant and lastly, trek to the famous little Adams peak to see dramatic views of the sunset will be a worthy way to finish the experience. Finally, we will drop you to hotel after this memorable experience.

What to expect

  1. Ella Rock
    4h
    Ella is a favorite spot among many day hikers and more experienced trekkers and one of the top reasons behind that is Ella rock. A fantastic climb with amazing views at the top.
  2. Nine Arches Bridge
    1h
    The Nine Arches Bridge also called the Bridge in the Sky is a viaduct bridge in Sri Lanka. It is one of the best examples of colonial-era railway construction in the country. The construction of the bridge is generally attributed to a local Ceylonese builder P. K. Appuhami, in consultation with British engineers. The surrounding area has seen a steady increase of tourism due to the bridge's architectural ingenuity and the profuse greenery on the nearby hillsides.
  3. Little Adam's Peak View Point
    2h
    The Little Adam's peak hike is a fairly easy hike to make and a popular spot among the travelers. It was named as the Little Adam's peak because of the similar shape to the Adam's peak (locally known as Sri Pada), where the footprint of Lord Buddha is preserved.
