However, as you venture beyond the town, you will discover mesmerizing views, spectacular waterfalls, and historical sites that are the jewels of the region.\r\n\r\nLocated in the central highlands of the country, surrounded by picturesque hills and tea plantations, Ella provides stunning natural beauty, a pleasant climate, and laid-back atmosphere for you to cherish.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"btn btn-outline-primary btn-show-read-more\" href=\"#read-more\" role=\"button\"> Read More <\/a>\r\n\t<div class=\"collapse collapse-read-more\" id=\"collapse_rm\">\r\n\t\r\n\r\nAn adventurous day covering the iconic attractions in Ella would add a remarkable aspect to your stay in Sri Lanka. We start with a 2-3 hour breathtaking guided trek to Ella Rock, a famous cliff located high above Ella, providing breathtaking views of the plains below and the hill area above.\r\n\r\nFollowed by a hearty Sri Lankan traditional lunch, you will be visiting Demodara in time to witness the trains passing the famed Nine Arch Bridge and the Demodara Railway Loop, which exemplifies one of Sri Lanka\u2019s remarkable colonial-era railway construction works. The Nine Arches Bridge, also called The Bridge in the Sky, is built entirely with bricks, cement, and stones without using steel.\r\n\r\nThe last activity of the day would be a 45-minute walk to the 1141m high Little Adam\u2019s Peak, a perfect spot to capture stunning views of the sunset.\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t<div class=\"mt-3\"><a class=\"btn-hide-read-more\" href=\"#less-read\" role=\"button\"> Less Read <\/a><\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=&#8221;right-image&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]\r\n<h2><em>Why should you book this trip?<\/em><\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The little town of Ella is located in the Badulla District of the province of Uva, some 200 kilometers (120 miles) east of Colombo.
