Little Adam’s Peak and Nine Arch Bridge - Ella

Tour Overview

Ella’s two most photographed moments in one morning. Little Adam’s Peak through the working tea estate takes 45 minutes and opens out to the best view of the Ella Gap. The Nine Arch Bridge is best experienced when a local train crosses the stone viaduct - your guide checks the schedule the night before. Neither requires serious fitness and both deliver completely.
