Things to do while in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka has so much to offer it’s travelers despite being an island.

The variety of places to see and things to do certainly suits everyone's interests. From tea plantations and rolling hills around Ella to the ancient ruins scattered across the central plains, and the stunning surf breaks and curved sandy bays of the south coast, Sri Lanka has a little bit of everything. Sometimes, it could be overwhelming to try and plan a trip to this island nation with so much to cover in a short time.

So here are a list of things you could do while on your visit to Sri Lanka;

Watching the sunrise from Little Adam's Peak - This relatively short hike is the best way to soak up the incredible views surrounding Ella and the hills. This peak sits just outside of Ella town near the 98 Acres Resort and Ravana Zipline. The vantage point from the top offers a full panorama of Ella, including Ella Rock, and the surrounding valleys and tea plantations.

Walk along the Nine Arch Bridge - The iconic landmark bridge in Ella, the Nine Arches Bridge, is definitely an Instagram fuelled attraction that has garnered a lot of attention. However, it's still a very unique sight in Sri Lanka and is worth stopping by during your time in Ella.

Completed in 1921, the large stone bridge spans 91 metres long and 25 metres high, and is also called the Bridge in the Sky, for its often moody setting amongst the foggy tea plantations. It's definitely a photographers dream location, especially when you also catch the train travelling over the bridge (which happens several times a day).
