Ella is Sri Lanka’s most beloved hill country town, a cool, mist-drenched mountain village at 1,000 metres surrounded by rolling tea estates, dramatic viewpoints and some of the most photogenic scenery in Asia and this tour takes you through its finest highlights in a single glorious day. Departing early to make the most of the cool highland morning, the tour begins with a visit to the famous Nine Arch Bridge, one of the most beautiful examples of colonial railway engineering in Asia, most viewed when the blue hill-country train rolls through on its Kandy-Badulla run. The afternoon brings the gentle but rewarding hike to Little Adam’s Peak, a 45-minute ascent through tea estates and jungle to a viewpoint ridge that delivers sweeping panoramic views across the Ella Gap to the distant coastal plains shimmering far below.
