It was my first time in Sri Lanka and I had no idea what I was gonna do so I went with the tour. I'll admit this was the best decision. The entire tour is perfectly curated to cover all the places that u better not miss. I was accompanied by Dhanesh as my tour guide and Ranga was our driver. They're both very hospitable and respectful. We stopped at the waterfall then came the exciting part... train ride :). I swung around and made all the videos. Tuk tuk took us to Nine Arch Bridge and then we hiked our way to Ravana pool club. I checked my list of zipline and paid a visit to Adam's Peak. These were my 16 hours very well spent. Thank you Dhanesh and Ranga

Explore surging waterfalls and breathtaking vistas on a day trip to Ella from pickup locations including Colombo, Kalutara, Negombo, and more. Visit Ravana Waterfall, Nine Arch Bridge, and Ravana Pool Club. Hike to Little Adam's Peak and soar through the sky on a zip line.

Arrive at the Ravana Waterfall, an iconic sight ranked among the country's most popular attractions. Witness cascading water amidst lush surroundings, then arrive in Ella, a charming town nestled amidst one-of-a-kind scenery.

Next, visit the Nine Arch Bridge, an architectural marvel dating back to colonial times. Travel to a bygone era as you stroll along the bridge's elegant arches surrounded by greenery.

For awe-inspiring panoramic views, ascend Little Adams Peak on a 45-minute hike. The journey may be a bit of a challenge, but the reward of the views that await is worthwhile.

For those seeking an adrenaline rush, get ready to experience the thrill of a lifetime on the Flying Ravana Mega Ziplinne. Feel an unparalleled sense of adventure coursing through your veins as you fly through the sky.

The journey wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Halpewaththa Tea Factory. Savor freshly brewed tea while taking in the beauty of the area, feeling a deep connection to Sri Lanka's rich tea heritage. To add a touch of relaxation, end your day with time to unwind at the Ravana Pool Club.
