Ella is a small mountain town in Sri Lanka’s highlands that has captured the imagination of travellers from around the world with its landscape of emerald tea estates, deep valley gorges and mist-wrapped peaks. The famous Nine Arch Bridge, a colonial-era masterpiece of stone engineering framed by jungle and tea bushes, is one of the most photographed spots in the country. Gentle hikes to Little Adam’s Peak and the more challenging ascent of Ella Rock reward walkers with some of the finest panoramic views in Sri Lanka.
