Highlights
- Little Adam’s Peak View Point - Don’t overlook the stunning tourist destination in Sri Lanka, Little Adams Peak, which despite its name, is a homage to the sacred Adams Peak due to their resemblance. Hence, it was named Little Adams Peak.\n\nIt stands at 1141 meters tall. Little Adam’s Peak is a magnet for visitors to Sri Lanka. With a gentle ascent to the summit, you can experience a breathtaking panoramic view. The journey involves walking through vibrant green tea fields, taking in the picturesque surroundings.\n- Nine Arches Bridge - Perched at 3100 meters above sea level amidst the rugged terrain of the Central Highlands, the Nine Arches Bridge serves as a link between the Demodara and Ella Railway stations. Constructed solely from bricks, stones, and cement, without any steel, the bridge has remained steadfast since its inception in 1921. Historical accounts suggest that the bridge was erected by local people using these materials when the project was halted due to a steel shortage during World War I. Beyond its history, many legends surround the bridge’s construction.

Nice day trip, but this is not a tour and it is way too expensive. - The tour is not value for money, neither is it a tour, but rather a glorified taxi service. Whilst our driver was incredibly friendly and patient, we realised he was a third party to our actual booking. We paid 70500 rupees which we now know from locals that it was way too much. You would be better off booking a taxi to Ella and exploring these for yourselves. Issues we had included:
- We were expecting a little more of a tour. It was the first time our driver had been to some locations so he couldn’t tell us more about history.
- The taxi driver who picked us up wasn't the one specified on the booking which is a security risk
