If you love living green, then Ella is obviously a place to visit. Ella Rock is one of the place which proves it.
Trekkers would love the place. It’s bit tiring to do the hiking. But it is definitely worth it. Once you got to the summit you will realize why we said so. The panoramic views it provides with mist and cloud covering the area, especially in the early mornings and the late evenings are something you should witness and that would suffice enough to say that you visited Ella.
Total time for climbing up and down is 4 hours. Yes, sounds like a long journey. But the way up there is with full of diversity. If you are starting form Ella train station, you would enjoy the rail walk, and soon as you started climbing up, you will be passing a waterfall, the rubber tree forest and tea plantations.
On a rainy day, it can be slippery, so better be cautious with what you wear for the journey. Wear something suitable for a hiking and towards the end of the hike,.still manageable.

Jeewa is incredible and adds so much more than doing this without a guide

5.00Incredibly well organised. Jeewa was ready and waiting to pick us up from our hotel to start our 4am sunrise hike. He organised everything in terms of torches/water and was incredibly welcoming from the first moment. This is a hike that many tourists can do on their own but Jeewa added so much more to the experience. He was full of information on the animals and the fauna and just added a wonderful touch to the overall morning. The hike itself is easy with some moderate areas. It is signposted but certainly not easy without a guide in the dead of night! The view itself was breathtaking and worth the early start. There are two viewpoints so be sure to check both out. I 100% recommend this you and Jeewa is an incredible guide. You will not be disappointed.
Worthwhile trip with breathtaking views

5.00Our Guide Jeewa was fantastic. He was very punctual, picking us up on time from our hotel and whizzing us off to the beautiful Ella rock. He provided us with some head torches which were super handy for making the way up the dark path which felt like a real adventure. Jeewa was full of knowledge and told us some very interesting information about the local area and helped us to identify all the different fruits and vegetables that were being grown. We were lucky in that he took us past all the crowds at the top of Ella Rock to a breathtaking view point where we were able to watch the sun rise. On making our way back down, the views were incredible and it felt like a whole new adventure. Once reaching the bottom, we were treated to a stop off at a local cafe for a wonderful refreshing cup of tea. On top of all this, Jeewa is a fantastic photographer and captured some amazing photos of the two of us. I would highly recommend this trip - thank you :)
Breathtaking views

5.00The climb of the Rock of Ella was just amazing with breathtaking views. It was difficult at times but well worth the hike. Our guide Jeewa was really friendly and courteous and he was very good. He had great knowledge about the local information as well as about the fauna and flora. We enjoyed a really great experience in his company. Thank you.
