Little Adam’s Peak, also known as Punchi Sri Pada, is a picturesque hiking destination located in Ella, Sri Lanka. It will take around one hour to climb up and down. Along the way, you will be able to see a zip line and experience some adventures. Once you reach the peak, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking 360-degree view. Make sure to bring suitable mountain shoes for the hike.
Nine Arches Bridge
The Nine Arch Bridge, also known as the "Bridge in the Sky," is an iconic piece of Sri Lankan engineering and architecture located in the misty hills of Ella. This magnificent bridge, built during the British colonial period, spans a deep valley with nine stunning arches, creating a breathtaking sight amidst lush greenery. Constructed entirely of brick, rock, and cement without the use of steel, the bridge stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of its builders. Surrounded by tea plantations and offering spectacular views, it's a popular spot for both tourists and photographers. Trains passing over the bridge add to the charm, making it a must-visit destination in Sri Lanka.

Fabulous day trip with an amazing tour provider - Sindu Tours

5.00This was mine and my daughter's 1st day trip with Sindu during our stay in Sri Lanka. The day trip to Ella , the train journey, the 9 arches bridge, lunch, waterfalls and entire day and experience exceeded our expectations. Sindu is a thoughtful, experienced, and overall wonderful host. He is also a very talented photographer who captured some very special moments of our day. I highly recommend and wish Sindu every success with his future.
Amazing day trip to Ella!

5.00Our day in Ella was unforgettable! We started at the stunning Nine Arches Bridge, followed by a short scenic train ride through the hills — peaceful and picturesque. A gentle hike up Little Adam’s Peak gave us incredible views, then we got our adrenaline fix with the Rawana Zipline. We ended the day at the beautiful Rawana Waterfall — the perfect cool-down. Our guide was fantastic — punctual and friendly. He even took some amazing photos of us throughout the day and kindly shared them later via WhatsApp. Plus, the traditional Sri Lankan snacks he provided were a lovely, authentic touch. Highly recommend this experience — a perfect mix of nature, adventure, and warm hospitality!

5.00Sindu was so accommodating for our spontaneous decision to visit Ella from Galle. We were collected in a comfy van from our hotel at 7am and drove up to Ella (a journey of around 3 hours). While there, we rode the train across the Nine Arch Bridge, then rode tuk tuks to a jungle path where we walked the train track back to the bridge. Sindu took so many lovely photos for us and knew all the best vantage points! We then jumped back into our tuk tuks and went to Little Adam’s Peak for a hike to see the magnificent view! After working up an appetite, Sindu took us to Chill Cafe in Ella where we had a relaxed lunch before stopping at Rawana Falls on the way home to check it out. We had an incredible day and would be happy to recommend Sindu for anyone looking for a similar experience! We had an EPIC day!
Perfect day exploring Ella from Bentota

5.00Booked a tour from Bentota to Ella with Sindu tours and it was a perfect way to explore this side of Srilanka. Given that we were in Srilanka for only 3 days, the trip itinerary allowed us to do most of the highlights of Srilanka in a day. We got to see a waterfall, take a train ride, visit tea plantations, stop at the infamous nine arch bridge and even hike up to little adams peak with breathtaking views. Our tour guide was Mr. Sindu himself who arrived early morning at our resort to pick us up and was patient and helpful throughout the trip. He even pulled out his personal drone to make an aerial video of our family at one of the stops. Would highly recommend Sindu tours if you are looking to explore the beauty of Srilanka.
Just Perfect

Great Trip and Value for Money

5.00Our guide was Aruna, who was excellent at his job. He was a good driver, and very reliable. He was also very informative. A lovely man to spend 13 hours with!! This as a very long day for us, but the places we visited and experienced made it worth while. We paid £157 for two people which as well worth the money. The hotel recommended a local contact who quoted us £187 each! So full marks to Viator.
