Ella Rock

Reviewed By huz152 - Colombo, Sri Lanka

Ella rock roughly takes you 1.5 hours to climb. If you're fit and healthy it can be climbed in a shorter time. It really is a beautiful hike, taking you through long grass, bridges, beautiful forests. There are many routes to hike, and you can get guides who will take you as well. The views once you reach the top are excellent. Definitely a must do when you reach Ella!

One of the hot spot within Horton Plains National Park (UNESCO World Heritage) with entrance fee of LKR3,850 per person. Breathtaking views and it is advisable to reach early before 9am in order to enjoy the mountainous view. Warm clothing, packed breakfast, good walking shoes and drinking water are recommended. Great hiking place for 4-5 hours. A must for nature lovers!
