Additional Information
Embark on a nearly 2-hour hiking journey to Little Adam’s Peak, guided by an expert equipped with fascinating knowledge about local tea plantations, fauna, and flora. Standing 1141 m above sea level, this mountain is called ‘Little Adam’s Peak’ due to its resemblance to the larger Adam’s Peak, Sri Lanka’s fifth tallest mountain. From the mountain’s apex, you can enjoy sweeping panoramas, with the morning views being particularly stunning. You’ll also spend about 40 minutes traveling on foot through the woods to see the famed Nine Arches Bridge.

Great experience with tourguide Jeewa - Really great experience and tour with Jeewa! He brought us to the Nine Arch Bridge and later to the Little Adam's Peak. It was a bit misty that day, so we decided to extend our visit and Jeewa picked us up at our hotel in the afternoon.
He told us a few things about Ella and recommended other places to go.
Would really recommend going on this tour with Jeewa, since he also takes incredible photo's and video's!

Excellent experience - Our family had a wonderful experience biking, hiking and visiting the tea factory with Dinu (our guide) and Ella Excursion Tours. The area is gorgeous, Dinu is such a knowledgeable and caring guide who goes the extra mile to make the experience wonderful. We signed up for a second day because we enjoyed ourselves so much! We have teenage sons and they also had a blast. Recommend very highly for great guiding, physical activity and learning / seeing the beauty of the Ella region.

An awesome way to experience Ella - We did the three icons tour with Rukshan and it was fantastic. It was a big day but we took our time and enjoyed nine arch bridge and Adams peak. Along the way we spotted so much wildlife and he knew all the names. He also had great English and great sense of humor.
We were able to talk about local
History and culture. He also introduced us to betel, which was a great experience!
Some fitness is good for all the walking but we didn’t find it too difficult or hot.
We also drank tea from
Coconuts which was fun!
Overall I highly recommend this, especially if you want to relax and see Ella from a locals perspective!
