[2025 Ella Attraction] Travel Guide for Little Adam's Peak (Updated Jun)

🇱🇰 Named after the sacred mountain Adam's Peak, the 1141-metre Little Adam’s Peak is a pyramidal-shaped hill located in the tea country hill city, Ella, Sri Lanka. It is the most popular hiking spot in Ella due to its relatively easy climb and spectacular 360 degree views of the surrounding mountains from the peak. The trailhead starts next to Ravana Pool Club located about 4 km to the south-east of Ella town centre. It can be easily reached by hiring a tuk-tuk. Our family took about 30 minutes to reach the peak. It is better to set out early in the morning or in the evening to avoid the scorching sun. We spent some time at the peak taking pictures while admiring the beauty of Ella. #srilanka #ella #hiking #hike #mountainview #mustdo #tripblazers #peak #peakview #mountain #hill

#cityplaybook #familytrip #localguides #postandearn Sri Lanka is not just a destination—it’s an experience that lingers long after you leave. From golden beaches and ancient ruins to misty mountains and warm smiles, this small island offers a world of wonders packed into one unforgettable journey. I started in Colombo, where the sea breeze blends with the scent of spices. The capital is vibrant—chaotic, yes—but layered with colonial charm, bustling markets, and a growing arts scene. A short train ride later, I was gliding along the coast to Galle, and that journey alone—waves crashing beside the tracks—was enough to take my breath away. Galle Fort, with its Dutch-colonial walls and quiet cobbled lanes, felt like stepping into a storybook. At sunset, locals and travelers alike gathered on the ramparts to watch the sky blush over the Indian Ocean. It was calm, human, beautiful. Then came Ella—green, peaceful, and otherworldly. I hiked Little Adam’s Peak, watched clouds roll over tea plantations, and sipped fresh Ceylon tea in wooden cabins perched over valleys. The train to Ella is one of the most scenic rides on Earth—lush, rolling hills, waterfalls, waving children… pure magic. In the ancient cities of Anuradhapura and Sigiriya, history whispered from every stone. I climbed the Lion Rock Fortress at dawn and felt a kind of stillness I hadn’t known I needed. Sri Lankan food was a love affair—spicy curries, coconut sambol, string hoppers, and tropical fruits I couldn’t name but devoured. And everywhere I went, the people welcomed me with generosity and grace. Best Time to Visit South and West coasts: December to March North and East coasts: May to September Helpful Tips Dress modestly at temples and carry a scarf. Don’t miss a local home-cooked rice & curry meal. Tuk-tuks are the best way to explore small towns.

Little Adam’s Peak is a lovely walk situated not far from downtown Ella. The walk has tea plantations on one side and great views of mountains on the other side. The walk is very easy to do with good signage along the route. At the top, there is a shop and cafe as well as other activities to do such as zip-lining and wall climbing. There are some toilets at the top of the walk too

Little Adam's Peak, where you can see Ella Rock, is not that high. It's not even the back mountain of the neighborhood... or maybe a hill? Haha. You can go up there as if you were taking a light walk. The road itself is made up of stairs and flat dirt roads, so it's not that difficult. Ella is in a mountainous area, so it's full of green all over, so it's really nice. Little Adam's Peak has three viewpoints, but the views aren't that different between the three, so not many people go to all three. And the third viewpoint is a steep slope that you have to go down and then go back up, so it's a little difficult. I had some time to spare, so I managed to get to the third viewpoint... Suddenly, rain clouds gathered and it started pouring down like crazy... It was okay to get rained on, but the dirt road suddenly became slippery and I was really scared. ㅜ ㅜ #Southeast Asia travel #Sri Lanka #Little Adam's Peak #Ella
