Standing beneath it and looking up reveals a stunning view of ‘nine skies’ through the nine arches, hence the name Nine Skies Bridge.

During our tour, you will experience the Ella Mountain Range and the Nine Arch Bridge, one of Sri Lanka’s iconic landmarks. Ella represents the best of highland Sri Lanka, with a pleasant temperate/monsoon climate and some of the country’s finest highland views. Situated at an elevation of meters, the mountain ranges of Ella form the eastern ridge of the Welimada plateau. On clear days, many peaks in Ella offer distant views of the eastern coastline.

Wonderful day tour - Wonderful day tour with our driver and guide Akila. Everything was timed perfectly. Loved the train journey and nine arches bridge. Decided to miss walking little Adams Peak preferring to visit the elephant orphanage. We were lucky to see wild elephants too. I would recommend this tour and Danu..

A day full of fun through the most iconic Sri Lankan sites - The tour was full of fun activities in stunning sites. Starting with witnessing beutiful natural waterfalls and feeding the mokeys, to riding on the iconic Ella train all the way to the Nine Arches bridge. The restaurants we stopped at for breakfast and lunch were delicious and offered many options. The day ended in an elephant santcuary. It was touching looking at the elephants getting fed. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and explained us many interesting cultural and historical topics. Highly recommended.

Two-day excursion around the island of Sri Lanka - A perfectly organized two-day tour of the island with a visit to Mount Pidurangala, everyone had time to see, the guide Sasha and the driver Misha were just sweethearts, they went everywhere and helped take photos. A gorgeous night in a hotel opposite the Ramboda waterfall, throughout the dinner the trio in national costumes performed all sorts of songs, including ours, a deliciously prepared dinner and breakfast. At the end of the trip, the company complimented us by treating the entire bus to Crystal rum; in general, well-fed, cheerful and satisfied, we returned to the hotel. We received a lot of impressions and pleasure. Sincerely, Dmitry, Elena, Artem.

Very well organised and safe trip - We took the private Ravanna Falls and Nine Arches Bridge trip from Kudawela and it was great. Contact via WhatsApp was good and everything was organised very well. Our driver Kapila picked us on time (was waiting for us even earlier), air conditioned car was comfortable and nice. On the way Kapila gave us plenty of useful information and answered all the questions. Thank you for organising the trip and Kapila for a nice travel 😉

It was really good experience - Our travelling with Danu Tours and Travels was a wonderful experience. Besides everything was well organized, we were really happy to share company with our driver. He picked up us on time ( actually arrived before time pointed and waited for us) in a good car ( although it’s just me and my wife ), the car was nice and with AC. Our driver was very professional, lovely, patient and friendly. He was very polite as well. If you are travelling to Sri Lanka you need check out agency Danu Tours and Travels. You won’t be sorry. I’m happy I trusted Danu with the organisation of our trip, because they truly knows the hidden places and jams of this beautiful land.

Cool tour from Danu - Sri Lanka is a very interesting island located in the Indian Ocean. The tour that we were given by Dana to the most ancient forest in the world, which is under UNESCO protection. The driver provided was polite and careful in driving on the roads. Also, the guide who was with us was very vigilant for us. What can be said about the forest, it was inexpressibly beautiful and amazing with its wildlife. But I would especially like to highlight that it was we who liked this bathing in the waterfall, the water is crystal clear. In general, I can say that the tour was very cool thanks to Dan.

Great experience with a kind Russian group - It was a great trip, visited many cool places, and met kind people. But unfortunately, the tour guide spoke only the Russian language 😅
