Overview
The Nine Arch Bridge in Ella is one of Sri Lanka’s most famous and photographed landmarks. Built entirely of stone and bricks, this colonial-era bridge stretches across a lush green valley.
You can walk along the tracks or hike up nearby hills for panoramic views. The best time to visit is when the train crosses the bridge, creating a picture-perfect moment surrounded by misty forests and tea plantations.
Early mornings and late afternoons offer soft light and fewer crowds. Local vendors nearby sell tea and snacks as you wait for the train.
Nine Arch Bridge blends history, nature, and beauty in one unforgettable spot.
