Description

Discover the best of Ella on a day tour from Haputale. Visit a tea factory, enjoy a cooking class, see the Nine Arch Bridge, and hike to Little Adam’s Peak for stunning views.
Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel in Haputale. Enjoy a scenic drive through Sri Lanka’s breathtaking hill country.

Make your first stop at the Halpewatte Tea Factory, one of the largest and most famous tea producers in Sri Lanka. Learn about the tea-making process, from leaf to cup, and enjoy a guided lesson in the history and flavors of Ceylon tea.

Next, immerse yourself in Sri Lankan culture with a hands-on cooking class. Prepare traditional curries using fresh, local ingredients and enjoy your own handmade lunch — a flavorful highlight of the day.

Continue your adventure to the iconic Nine Arch Bridge in Demodara, also known as the “Bridge in the Sky.” Surrounded by lush greenery, this colonial-era railway bridge is one of the most photographed landmarks in Sri Lanka. Walk along the tracks, admire the architecture, and if you’re lucky, catch a train crossing for a truly unforgettable moment.

In the afternoon, visit the spectacular Ravana Falls, one of Sri Lanka’s most famous waterfalls. Take in the natural beauty, feel the cool spray, and relax in this refreshing spot.

Finally, end your day with a rewarding hike to Little Adam’s Peak, Ella’s most popular viewpoint. The easy-to-moderate 30–45 minute climb rewards you with breathtaking views of Ella Gap, rolling tea plantations, and distant mountain ranges — the perfect way to conclude your adventure.

Afterwards, sit back and relax on the comfortable drive back to Haputale, filled with memories of tea, cooking, waterfalls, and mountain scenery.
