What To Expect

Nine Arches Bridge

The Nine Arch Bridge in Ella is on the Demodara loop and spans 91 meters at a height of 24m. The beautiful nine arches make it a very picturesque spot especially as it is located in a dense jungle and agricultural setting. Behind the railway, a forest is booming and below, tea leaves are being cultivated.

2 hours • Admission Not Included

Little Adam's Peak View Point

We highly recommend you watch the sunrise or sunset at this location. A very close walk from the main Ella street. And close to the nine arch bridge walk as well.

Great trip! Our whole group was very pleased; the tour was tailored to our needs. We decided not to go to Sigiriya so we could wake up a little later on the second day and get a good night's sleep. The driver showed us all the local sights and helped us buy tickets. We were all delighted with the trip. We visited waterfalls, Little Adam's Peak, went ziplining, rode the train, and stopped by the Nine-Arch Bridge, visited tea plantations and an elephant farm, the Ambulawawa Tower, and the city of Nuwara Ela.
The best driver in Sri Lanka – highly recommended! 😊

I wholeheartedly recommend Sabith as a bus driver and guide in Sri Lanka. He is an extremely professional, kind, and trustworthy person. Traveling with him was always safe, comfortable, and very well organized. Sabith has excellent knowledge of Sri Lanka and knows how to plan routes in a way that allows you to see many beautiful and interesting places. He was always punctual, helpful, and made sure there was a great atmosphere during the journey. He gladly shared information about the places we visited and was always happy to answer any questions. He is a passionate driver who does his job at the highest level. If you are looking for a reliable driver and guide who will make your trip around Sri Lanka peaceful and unforgettable, Sabith is the perfect choice. Highly recommended! 🇱🇰✨
The best!!!!
