Haputale: Ella Day Tour with Temples, Spice & Waterfalls

Explore Ella on a day tour from Haputale. Visit the Mahameunawa Asapuwa Temple, the Ella Spice Garden, the Nine Arch Bridge, Ravana Falls, and Little Adam’s Peak.
Begin your day with a hotel pickup from Haputale and set off on a scenic drive through Sri Lanka’s breathtaking hill country.

Your first stop is the Mahameunawa Asapuwa Temple, a peaceful Buddhist monastery surrounded by mountains. Take part in an optional meditation program, learning about Buddhist traditions in a calm and spiritual setting.

Next, visit the Ella Spice Garden (entrance ticket not included), where you’ll discover a wide variety of local spices and their uses. Learn how these spices are cultivated and enjoy the fragrant gardens.

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 engineering, and capture unforgettable photos — especially if you catch a train passing by.

Around midday, enjoy a break for lunch at a local restaurant (meals not included). Afterward, marvel at the spectacular Ravana Falls, one of Sri Lanka’s most famous waterfalls. Take in the rushing water, feel the cool mist, and relax in the natural surroundings.

End your tour with a short hike to Little Adam’s Peak, Ella’s most popular viewpoint. The 30–45 minute trail is easy to moderate, and the summit rewards you with sweeping views of Ella Gap, tea plantations, and distant mountain ranges — the perfect conclusion to your day.

Finally, relax on your comfortable drive back to Haputale, carrying unforgettable memories of temples, spice gardens, waterfalls, and mountain peaks.
