This historic bridge is located between the Ella and Demodara railway stations, stretching approximately 90 meters in length, 24 meters in height, and nearly 7.5 meters in width. Today, it serves as both a popular tourist attraction and an active railway bridge. The hike to the bridge takes about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"visit-worth-it\">Is Visiting the Nine Arches Bridge in Ella Worth It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely! A visit to the Nine Arches Bridge is a must on any trip to Ella. The atmosphere is particularly magical in the evening. However, keep in mind that you are unlikely to be alone at the bridge. If you&#8217;re planning to visit Ella solely for the bridge, consider the long journey carefully. The bridge can be perfectly combined with a visit to Little Adam&#8217;s Peak, making for a perfect end to the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"675\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/travelsloth.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022-01-15-14.29.32.jpg\" alt=\"Nine Arches Bridge in Ella\" class=\"wp-image-3682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelsloth.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022-01-15-14.29.32.jpg 675w, https:\/\/travelsloth.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022-01-15-14.29.32-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Times to Visit the Nine Arches Bridge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We visited the bridge at sunset, which is the perfect time to experience the golden hour. The bridge looks particularly stunning, but it can be challenging to take photos without other visitors in the frame. Arriving early can help you secure the best photo spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Get to the Nine Arches Bridge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nine Arches Bridge is located near Little Adam&#8217;s Peak. There are several ways to reach the bridge:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Walking from Ella Railway Station:<\/strong><br>The path is relatively flat and follows the railway tracks, taking about 45 minutes. This is the longest but most scenic option.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Access from Ella-Passara Road:<\/strong><br>A walk from the road takes about 30 minutes. If you start your journey after sunset or before sunrise, be sure to remember the path well, as it\u2019s easy to get lost without light. The ideal starting point is the Sri Kanaser Temple.<br><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d1980.5733261257408!2d81.06013839439093!3d6.873025754919215!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x3ae46507d3dd7e73%3A0x83ef62d4d52311b3!2sElla%20Hostel!5e0!3m2!1sde!2snp!4v1648304629896!5m2!1sde!2snp\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe><br><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Hike to <a href=\"https:\/\/travelsloth.de\/sri-lanka-wanderung-little-adams-peak\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"blank\">Little Adam&#8217;s Peak<\/a> around midday and visit the Nine Arches Bridge at sunset for the best experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) By Tuk-Tuk or as Part of a Tour:<\/strong><br>You can also take a tuk-tuk directly to the bridge or include the visit to the Nine Arches Bridge as part of a guided tour in Ella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travelsloth.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_9259.jpg\" alt=\"Nine Arches Bridge and surrounding area\" class=\"wp-image-3684\" width=\"919\" height=\"612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelsloth.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_9259.jpg 900w, https:\/\/travelsloth.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_9259-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelsloth.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_9259-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelsloth.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/IMG_9259-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 919px) 100vw, 919px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Highlights in Ella<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the Nine Arches Bridge, there are many other attractions and hikes in Ella that you shouldn&#8217;t miss.
