Stop 1
07.00 AM - You will be greeted and picked up by our TUK TUK driver from most closely located hotels in Ella and taken you to hike Ella Rock. 07.30 AM – Start your hike to the peak of the Ella rock. Ella rock is a huge rocky peak that looms over Ella town. It is a moderate level tropical hike. The views from the top of Ella rock on a clear day are nothing less than rewarding. The rock cliff has no safety railings and has become a favourite spot for daredevil photography. The hike itself is an interesting mix of railway tracks, tea plantations, steep climbs and shady walks.
