Ella - Hill Country Village

We decided to have a 4 night stay in Ella. We found a nice little 4 room hotel 1.5km outside of Ella embedded into the green nature. Very nice clean quality place. Ella is on of the country’s most popular destinations and well known for its nature and laid back cafés.
When you are in Ella then the visit of the 9 Arch bridge is a must. The bridge was completed in 1919 and is an example of colonial-era railway construction. The location embedded into the greenery makes it a pilgrimage place for all instagramers, tik-tok users and normal tourists. We were normal tourists and heavily shocked about all the photo shootings which were going on.
From there we did a hike to the Little Adam Peak and back to Ella which added finally up to 10km. At Little Adam’s Peak we had really luck with the weather and we could enjoy wonderful viewings.
Next day we took the tuk tuk to one of the tea plantations. We visited the UVA Halpewatte Tea Factory. It’s a factory from the 40ties and we had a real good tour to understand the production process. Rest of the day was chilling in bars during heavy rain.Read more
