Ella Rock Hiking Tours ( sunrise-tour ,good morning tour,sunny afternoon tour )
If you love living green, then Ella is obviously a place to visit. Ella Rock is one of the place which proves it. Trekkers would love the place. It’s bit tiring to do the hiking. But it is definitely worth it. Once you got to the summit you will realize why we said so. The panoramic views it provides with mist and cloud covering the area, especially in the early mornings and the late evenings are something you should witness and that would suffice enough to say that you visited Ella. Total time for climbing up and down is 4 hours. Yes, sounds like a long journey. But the way up there is with full of diversity. If you are starting form Ella train station, you would enjoy the rail walk, and soon as you started climbing up, you will be passing a waterfall, the rubber tree forest and tea plantations. On a rainy day, it can be slippery, so better be cautious with what you wear for the journey. Wear something suitable for a hiking and towards the end of the hike,.still manageable.

Diyaluma Waterfall & Natural Pool Bath.
Diyaluma Falls is 220 m (720 ft) high and the second highest waterfall in Sri Lanka and 361st highest waterfall in the world.It is situated 6 km(3.7 mi) away from Koslanda in Badulla District on Colombo-Badulla highway. The Falls are formed by Punagala Oya, a tributary of Kuda Oya which in turn, is a tributary of Kirindi Oya.In Sinhalese, Diyaluma or Diya Haluma means "rapid flow of water" or may be translated as "liquid light". According to Sri Lankan historian, Dr. R. L. Brohier, Diyaluma is the setting of the folklore about a tragedy involving a young chieftain who had been banished to the highlands and the attempt by his betrothed to join. As all the passes were guarded the young man let down a rope of twisted creepers over the escarpment, as she was hauled up she was dashed against the rocks and died. The Gods, moved to pity by the harrowing spectacle, caused a stream of water to gush from the mountain and veil all evidence of the tragedy in a watery light, hence the term Diyaluma

Discover three icons in Ella
We will pick you from Ella, Haputale, Bandarawela or suburbs and our 1st stop among three icons will be Ella rock. We will start from the trail near Kithal Ella railway station and upon reaching to the top, you will witness breathtaking views of the surroundings. Next, we will visit the historic nine arch bridge which will bring you back to the British colonial era. Popular rumors suggest that when construction work commenced on the bridge, “the Great war” began between the empires of Europe and the steel assigned to this site was reallocated to Britain’s War related projects at the battlefront. As a result, the work came to a standstill, leading the locals to build the bridge with stone bricks and cement, but without steel. Then we will stop for the traditional lunch at a local restaurant and lastly, trek to the famous little Adams peak to see dramatic views of the sunset will be a worthy way to finish the experience. Finally, we will drop you to hotel after this memorable experience.

Ella tour FAQs

Common questions about booking Ella experiences through SimilarTours

What's the best time to visit Ella?

January to March and July to September are driest and clearest for hiking and wildlife spotting. Avoid May to June and October to November when rain can shut down some tea plantations and reduce safari visibility. Check before you go since weather patterns shift.

How far ahead should I book safari tours?

Popular Yala National Park safaris and multi-day camps sell out weeks ahead, especially if you want a private guide or specific accommodation. Book at least 1-2 weeks before, longer during peak season. Train ride combinations fill quickly too.

Is getting around Ella easy without a tour?

Taxis and tuk-tuks exist but are unreliable for reaching distant national parks or coordinating train times. Most visitors book private guides or transport-inclusive tours because distances are large and roads wind through the highlands. Solo hikers do trek Little Adam's Peak independently, but safaris really need a guide.

Are guided tours worth it in Ella?

Yes, especially for wildlife. Guides know where leopards and elephants move, they handle lodge bookings at safari camps, and they navigate the train schedule-to-trek logistics that tourists usually botch. Tea plantation walks and historical tours also make far more sense with someone who knows the stories.

What's typically included in these tours?

Safari tours usually cover transport, guide, park entry, and sometimes meals or camping. Train rides are separate add-ons to hiking tours. Some all-inclusive packages bundle safari, accommodation, and beach transfers. Check the listing details because inclusions vary widely.

Can families or less mobile visitors do these tours?

Half-day safaris and vehicle-based park tours work for most fitness levels. Multi-day treks to peaks are genuinely steep and rocky. Private tours can be customized, so mention mobility needs when booking - guides often suggest shorter versions or different routes.

How do I compare safari operators here?

Check SimilarTours to see what's offered across top booking sites - prices, camp types, guide reviews, and whether transport from Ella is included all vary. Private tours run higher but give you flexibility; shared safaris are cheaper and can be fun if you're solo.
