Nine Arches
#srilanka #ninearchbridge #fpv #reelitfeelit #droneoftheday
Nine Arch Bridge is iconic for a reason.
But depending on the weather, getting there can be muddy, chaotic and slow, especially with tuk tuks.
Not a reason to skip it.
Just a reason to come prepared.
PRO TIP: If you are driving a TukTuk yourself park in a small carpark before you hit the narrow road to the bridge and walk the 3 minutes to get to the bridge, it’s 50LKR, thank me later.

WITHOUT KNOWING THOSE TINGS ⬇️
❌ Skip Ravana Falls
Pretty, yes… but overcrowded.
5 minutes, busloads of people, slippery rocks.
✅ Do Upper Diyaluma Falls instead
⏱️ ~45 min from Ella
🌅 Go early (before 9am)
💶 Free
Natural infinity pools at the TOP, unreal views, way fewer people ✨
🚆 The train ride most people miss
Kandy → Ella = packed, booked weeks ahead ❌
Do this instead:
Ella → Badulla
💶 ~€0.50
⏱️ ~1 hour
Same landscapes, almost empty carriages
👉 Sit on the right side for the best views 🌿
❌ Don’t get overcharged at Nine Arch Bridge
Some tuk-tuks ask crazy prices just to get there 🚫
✅ Better options:
• Walk ~30 min
• Rent a scooter if you’re comfortable
🌅 Best time: 6:15–6:45 AM
Train passing + no crowds = best photos 📸
👉 Walk past the bridge on the tracks (15–20 min):
tea fields, silence, and even better shots.
🍃 Tea factory — worth it if you choose the right one
If you want to understand how Ceylon tea is made,
visit Halpewatte Tea Factory.
💶 3,000 LKR (~€8–9) for the guided visit
Educational, well explained, and one of the most reputable factories in the area.
🥾 Little Adam’s Peak — do it backwards
Ella town side = traffic jam of people ❌
Start from the 98 Acres side instead
🌄 Start around 4:30–5am
⏱️ ~1 hour hike
Sunrise around 6am
💶 Free (ignore tuk-tuks)
👉 All our real, tested advice (routes, timing, mistakes to avoid)

No guesswork. Just experience.

Built with vision, skill, and sheer determination — the Nine Arch Bridge stands as a masterpiece of Sri Lankan engineering.
Constructed in 1919 using stone, brick, and cement without a single piece of steel, this iconic bridge connects the misty hills of Ella and Demodara.

The difference🤯
If you’re visiting Sri Lanka, make sure to visit the Nine Arches bridge in the morning instead of the evening to avoid the massive crowds of people there for sunset!

Is the Nine Arch Bridge in Sri Lanka really worth it? 🤔🇱🇰
Everyone on Instagram hypes it up—but honestly, it’s just a short bridge with crowds and barely anything to do. The experience felt super overrated. 😒
Oh, and guess what? A plain omelette at a nearby café was ₹256! For real. 😂
Save your time (and your wallet)—there are way better places to explore in Ella.
