Ella Tour: Nine Arch Bridge, Little Adam's Peak & Scenic Train
Plan an Ella tour with a private guide: Nine Arch Bridge, Little Adam's Peak, Ravana Falls and the scenic hill country train ride.
Ella is a small hill town known for green valleys, tea country views and one of the most photographed railway bridges in Asia. It is a favourite stop between Kandy, Nuwara Eliya and the south coast.
What to see in Ella
Walk to the Nine Arch Bridge, hike Little Adam's Peak for valley views, stop at Ravana Falls and enjoy cafes in town. The scenic train from Nanu Oya to Ella is a highlight of many trips and is included in our 11-day Premium tour.
Getting there
By road Ella connects easily to Nuwara Eliya, Yala and the south coast. Train tickets in peak season sell out early, so we arrange them in advance for guests who want the journey.
Tips
Hikes are best in the morning for clearer views. Bring light rain protection, as hill country weather changes quickly. Two nights allows time for both hikes and the train.
