One of the most celebrated attractions in the country

The Nine Arches Bridge is a man-made masterpiece conveniently located a few kilometres from the bungalow. Built 3,100ft above sea level, amidst the Central Highlands, the Nine Arches viaduct forms a crossing between the Demodara and Ella Railway stations.

Visiting the bridge is a unique experience and a beautiful place to take pictures, but you can also travel across the bridge on a train for a different perspective. The route from Demodara to Nanu Oya (in Nuwara Eliya) is considered by some as the most picturesque train ride in the world!

The best time to visit is early in the morning when it is less crowded, or when a train is scheduled to pass over the bridge. It is a lot busier at this time, but you can get some great pictures of the famous Yakada
Yaka or ‘Iron Devil’ steam train.
