Overview
Embark on a private half-day adventure in Ella, hiking up Little Adam's Peak for sweeping highland vistas and strolling across the iconic Nine Arches Bridge — a colonial-era railway masterpiece framed by lush tea plantations.
Join a private guided half-day tour through the breathtaking landscapes of Ella, Sri Lanka. Your experienced guide will lead you on an approximately two-hour round-trip hike up Little Adam's Peak, a mountain rising to 1,141 metres above sea level. Along the trail, learn about the surrounding tea plantations, native fauna, and local flora while enjoying expansive panoramic views — most spectacular when explored in the morning light. The peak draws its name from its striking resemblance in shape to the renowned Adam's Peak, the fifth-highest mountain in Sri Lanka.
Your adventure continues with an approximately 40-minute walk through woodlands to the magnificent Nine Arches Bridge. This remarkable historical viaduct, constructed entirely from stone, bricks, and cement — with no steel reinforcements whatsoever — was built during the British era of Sri Lanka. Spanning over 300 feet and rising to a height of roughly 100 feet, the bridge is an engineering triumph and a favourite subject for photographers. Walk along the railway tracks above the arches as your guide shares the rich history and fascinating stories behind this iconic landmark.
