Ella

Ella Rock was founded by foreign travellers to hike challenging hills in their short vacations. It is a 7 km hike from town. The last 2 km are strenuous. At the ‘halfway’ point, approximately 1100 meters above sea level, the climate changes to a cool 18°C. Suddenly, the vegetation turns to a bright, light green. The sweat disappears. The trail leads from one hill to another. On the right, there is a view similar to that of ‘Kashmir Gardens’. On the left, you can admire the beauty of ‘Little Adam’s Peak’. Foreign travellers claim that it appears somewhat like an image of ‘Machu Picchu’ in Peru. After the steep climb to the top, one arrives at a flat meadow of about 2 acres, with clear streams, ancient flower beds, tall trees & a pond for bathing & freshwater creatures.
