The day will be spent at your leisure, with suggested activities for the day.

Little Adams Peak

Because of its similar form, the Little Adam’s Peak was
called after its bigger brother, the holy mountain
Adam’s Peak. Adam’s Peak, in Nuwara Eliya in western
Sri Lanka, is 2243 metres high and a lot more
strenuous and difficult hike!
The route begins with lovely lush green tea estates full
with tea harvesting women. The 1141-meter-high Little
Adam’s Peak is rather straightforward to climb, having
a nice trail all the way up. It is not a difficult walk and
is very short, but it gives you an excellent picture of
the countryside around Ella and the view is
spectacular! It was well worth the effort!

The Demodara loop

The Demodara loop is considered one of the greatest sites to see in Ella and should not be missed. The loop has been dubbed the “circular loop,” “spiral loop,” and “spiral ride.”

The Demodara tunnel and railway entry, known as the Demodare Loop, is where the rail line runs around a spiral loop under itself and emerges from a tunnel immediately beneath the Demodare train station. This engineering wonder is the world’s only spiral loop with a tunnel under a train station. According to legend, the notion was inspired by seeing a tea plantation overseer unfasten and refasten his turban.

It was built during the colonial period to carry tea grown in the plantations of the Uva district to Colombo. Engineers and surveyors determined that with the maximum inclination permitted by the Ceylon Government Railway at the time of one foot every 44 feet (1/44), the slopes at Demodara were difficult for the track to work out.

Nine Arch Bridge

The Nine Arch Bridge is a viaduct bridge in Sri Lanka situated between the Ella and Demodara railway stations. It was built during the colonial period and is considered one of the outstanding examples of railway construction in the country.

D. J. Wimalasurendra, a renowned Ceylonese engineer and inventor, was responsible for the overall design and management of the ‘Upcountry Railway Line of Ceylon’ project. Harold Cuthbert Marwood, from the Railway Construction Department of the Ceylon Government Railway and Transport Board, was the architect behind the viaduct. P. K. Appuhami, a Ceylonese constructor who worked in cooperation with British experts to erect the bridge, is most often credited with its construction.

Tea Plantation and Tea Factory Visit

Because Sri Lanka is one of the countries that produces the most tea in the world, it is imperative that tourists pay a visit to one of the country’s many tea plantations while they are there. During your time in Sri Lanka, going to a tea plantation will provide you with a wealth of information about the country’s history, as well as its present and its future. This visit will start out with a tour of the factory’s processing plant, which will be led by an employee. You are going to view the machinery that is used for drying, grinding, sorting, and packing the goods. You will also get the opportunity to discover how tea is processed, beginning with the glossy green leaves and ending with the parts that are in your tea bag. Following your break with a cup of high-quality processed tea, you will continue your journey through the tea estate, bringing your trip to a successful conclusion.
