3 AMAZING Days in Ella - Nine Arch Bridge, Hiking Ella Rock & Cooking Class - SRI LANKA SERIES

We arrived in Ella, after taking the 2nd part of the famous, scenic train ride in Sri Lanka. The train journey from Kandy to Ella offers breathtaking views of lush tea plantations, mist-covered mountains, and waterfalls. Following Nuwara Eliya, Ella is packed with things to do and many tourists find their way here. Our route took us first to the Nine Arch Bridge, surrounded by lush greenery, to capture the passing blue train. After that, we took an easy hike to Little Adam’s Peak. The next day we hiked to Ella Rock for panoramic views of the surrounding hills and valleys, barely avoiding a heavy rainstorm. We finished our days here with a visit to a waterfall & cooking delicious Sri Lankan dishes at Priya’s Cooking School.

Ella is a charming town nestled in the highlands of Sri Lanka, known for its stunning landscapes, cool climate, and vibrant atmosphere. The town offers a laid-back atmosphere with a range of cozy cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops. It's a great place to relax and sample Sri Lankan dishes. #srilanka #ceylon #travelvlog #ella #kandy #nuwara eliya

9 arch bridge was made by a local mason. The ground beneath is muddy not a solid ground and because of WW2 no iron to be found to build the bridge. And the colonials faced a huge problem. and a local mason told them that he would build the bridge by bricks. From a near by brick maker. And the colonials laughed to his face saying it s impossible and the bridge will collapse. But they had nothing to loose so they allowed him. And he built the bridge praceizely without any fancy equipments. And still the colonials weren't sure. So he told them to run the train while he layed down under the bridge. And the colonials watched all this from safe distance. And the bridge is still standing. It's an engineering marvel. That's why it's important. Not just for the views. Same goes to Sigiriya. 90% of the tourists have no idea why they go there and what to look for. I feel sorry for them paying 30 bucks for a view point. There 1000nds of them all around Sri Lanka for free. Do a bit of background search. It makes the tour more fun. Welcome to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰🇱🇰❤️❤️❤️
