Activity itinerary

Nine Arches Bridge

  • 1h
On our tour, you'll visit the iconic Nine Arches Bridge, a marvel of colonial-era engineering nestled in the lush hills of Ella. As you walk along the tracks, you'll witness the breathtaking scenery of dense forests, tea plantations, and misty mountain views. Our guide will share the storey behind this historic bridge and its significance in Sri Lankan railway history. You'll have the opportunity to stand on the bridge and capture stunning photos as a train passes by—a truly picturesque moment. The experience also includes a peaceful walk through the surrounding nature, offering a serene break from the hustle of daily life.

Little Adam's Peak

  • 2h
At Little Adam's Peak View Point, travellers will embark on a short, scenic hike through lush tea plantations to reach one of the most stunning panoramic views in Sri Lanka. Once at the top, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking vistas of rolling hills, misty valleys, and the surrounding mountain ranges. Our guide will share insights about the area’s rich biodiversity and the significance of the peak, named after its resemblance to the sacred Adam’s Peak. This experience offers an ideal blend of adventure and tranquility, with plenty of opportunities for photography and moments of peaceful reflection amid nature.

Ravana Ella Falls

  • 30m
At the stunning Ravana Ella Falls, travellers will witness one of Sri Lanka’s most dramatic waterfalls, cascading from 82 feet high into a beautiful natural pool. Our guide will share the fascinating legend of King Ravana, believed to have hidden Princess Sita in a nearby cave, adding a rich cultural narrative to the visit. Travellers can take in the breathtaking views, capture scenic photos, and, if conditions allow, enjoy the cool mist and refreshing spray from the waterfall. The area is surrounded by lush greenery and wildlife, offering a peaceful yet adventurous escape into nature.

Elephant Transit Home (ETH)

  • 40m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Udawalawa Elephant Transit Home is a renowned elephant rehabilitation centre dedicated to rescuing and caring for orphaned elephant calves. Unlike traditional orphanages, elephants here are raised with minimal human contact and later released back into the wild once they are strong and independent. Visitors can observe the elephants during scheduled feeding times, watching dozens of calves gather together in a natural, open setting. This meaningful visit offers a unique insight into Sri Lanka’s wildlife conservation efforts while supporting the protection of these gentle giants.
