We did the Ella bike tour with Ella Excursions Tours Sri Lanka and had an amazing day. The tour started in Ella, cycling out to the Nine Arch Bridge and then on to Demodara Station for a quick but very scenic train ride back to Ella. From there we walked up Little Adam’s Peak, which was a brilliant way to finish. Our guide, Sam, was fantastic – really friendly, full of knowledge and fun to be around. He gave us great tips for exploring Ella and was very understanding (and encouraging!) when we were struggling up the hills. The whole experience felt well organised, safe and enjoyable, and we got to see so much of Ella in just one day. Would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.
Had a very nice bike ride from guide Dila. Nine arche bridge visited and at the end of the ride by train back to Ella via this bridge. Very nice to see how important this train / bridge is to the local population. During the tour I got an explanation about rice fields, tea plantations and several spices such as pepper and cinnamon

Great ride, but you do have to be a little fit to enjoy it. There are some uphill areas that were tough for some. The downhill was a bit scary for my 10year old, fast speed along the edge of hills. The tour guide was very nice and accommodating to our needs. Some of the bikes could use a tuneup on the brakes.
