Neighbourhood information

Its location means that it has many hills and mountains that you can hike, one of the more well known ones being Little Adam's Peak named for its striking similarity to the famed Adam's Peak. The view from the top is priceless, but the one along the way is just as amazing. You'll come across waterfalls tea plantations and paddy fields while enjoying the scenic views. After Little Adam's Peak you can head over to look at the Nine Arch Bridge which is a beautiful piece of architecture that you definitely don't want to miss out on. If you're lucky you'll see a train pass by and enjoy a view that looks much like a movie reel. Ella Rock is another popular destination to visit. You'll probably want to get up early to get the best view. The destination doesn't just involve hiking, but also waterfalls, nature and a scenic panorama view from the top. Ella has many great places in its surrounding that are definitely worth visiting such as Ravana's Cave which is rich in history, Ravana Falls, Ella Gap, the Halppewatte Tea Factory, Ella Spice Gardens, the Nature Trail , many other breathtaking waterfalls and views.
