Hiking Ella Rock

The views from Ella Rock are breath-taking. If you love scenic landscapes and mountainous terrain, hiking Ella Rock should be at the top of your bucket list when visiting Ella. Hiking Ella Rock is more challenging when compared to Little Adam’s Peak, but feels more authentic and natural i.e. there are no steps or paved pathways. The terrain also changes on multiple occasions during the trek making the journey more picturesque. The hike takes approximately 3-4 hours in total depending on how fast and fit you are and can be demanding at times. The trail starts out relatively flat and includes a walk along railway tracks passing through local homes and tea plantations. As you start to climb, the vegetation gradually converts to a forest, and the trail begins to steepen. Roughly half the trail is flat and the other half, at an incline.
