What to do in Ella, Sri Lanka?

Ella is Sri Lanka’s top hill-country spot, really famous for the iconic Nine Arch Bridge, great hiking trails, and this almost never-ending stretch of lush tea plantations.

Most plans for travel here get built around active early mornings, like climbing up Little Adam's Peak or going for the tougher trek to Ella Rock, so you can see the valley from above. Later on, many visitors move through local working tea factories, then cool down by Ravana Falls, and in the evenings they just unwind with the town’s energetic mood, where you’ll find backpacker cafes, plus boutique restaurants and more.
