Ella - some hiking in the jungle

Ella or Elle is one of the most popular destinations in Sri Lanka - for good reason.
It's built into the jungle, as seen often here, but located in some beautiful mountains of Sri Lanka's center, it offers great views from nearly any place.
The main road is extremely touristy and a huge nightlife area, after sunset, but as the city is spread widely into the surrounding mountains, it's easy to feel like being in the jungle, anyways.
There's a historical railway bridge to see, surrounded by tea plantations and a nice experience, when a train goes over it, through all the people 😎
Walking under it, over it and high above the bridge (making a fresh-juice-break in between 😎) was so beautiful and relaxing, loved every moment.
Furthermore I've met another traveller from Poland, had some great times together and very spontaneous we made a great plan for a little adventure trip, more about that soon 😬.
Didn't do the hikings onto Ella Rock or Adam's Peak, two of the highest mountains in Sri Lanka, as I ran out of time 🙈. Nevertheless, little Adam's Peak at sunrise was a nice hike, too, and gave some great views on the mountains around.
All in all a great place to enjoy nature and mountains.
And, finally, I was able to see a cricket match, one of Sri Lanka's most popular sports. Accidentally (again 😅) took a wrong turn and passed by Ella's cricket field, watching some school teams playing, surrounded by their classmates. 🙂Read more
