Description complète

C'est la facon la plus intelligente que quiconque ait trouvee de voir le pays entre Ella et Demodara, et la raison est simple: vous descendez a velo et remontez en train.

Ella se trouve plus haut que Demodara, donc le trajet aller est une longue descente a travers les plantations de the, passant devant des logements et des boutiques de village, sur des routes qui ne portent presque aucun trafic. La parcourir a velo signifie remarquer des choses qu'un vehicule laisse passer, la cueillette en cours sur les pentes, les chiens, les enfants d'ecole, l'odeur des plantations le matin.

Le pont aux neuf arches est sur l'itineraire. Vous vous arretez, descendez a pied vers lui, attendez un train s'il en passe un, et remontez sur les velos.

Demodara est ou le chemin de fer fait son fameux tour, faisant un cercle complet pour passer sous la gare qu'il vient de quitter afin de gagner de l'altitude. C'est une veritable curiosite d'ingenierie et presque personne ne fait le trajet pour la voir.

Puis vous mettez les velos dans le train et remontez vers Ella, ce qui est le tronçon que tout le monde photographie, pris dans le bon sens et sans neuf cents metres de montee dans les jambes.

Environ quatre heures, et cela ne necessite aucune forme physique particuliere car la partie difficile est faite par le chemin de fer.

Ella est un village a 1 040 metres dans les montagnes du sud, atteint par le train depuis Kandy que la plupart des gens considerent comme le plus beau trajet ferroviaire d'Asie, et ses sites sont tous a quelques kilometres: le pont aux neuf arches, un viaduc en brique de 1921 dans une gorge de the, qu'un train traverse plusieurs fois par jour; le Little Adam's Peak, une marche de 40 minutes a travers le the jusqu'a une crete; Ella Rock, une ascension plus difficile de trois heures; et les cascades de Ravana sur la route vers Wellawaya. Les matins sont clairs et les apres-midis des mois humides apportent des nuages dans le col, donc les randonnees se font tot. Les tuk-tuks sont le transport, et chaque pension peut en trouver un.

The price does not cover meals, gratuities, personal expenses.. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
You can usually ride as a passenger behind a local driver, which is what most guests do and needs no licence. Driving yourself needs a licence valid in that country, and your travel insurance will normally only cover you if you hold one.
Lanka Travel Hub. We book with them directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can confirm your place with the operator before taking it as final.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice outside India. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The duration of the Circuit a velo d'Ella a Demodara avec le pont aux neuf arches et retour en train is typically 4 hours. We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the scheduled start time for a smooth check-in.

For most experiences, we highly recommend an early morning start. This allows you to avoid the midday heat, bypass the largest crowds, and capture the best lighting for photography. Your guide can advise on the optimal timing based on the season and specific attractions included.

A 20-25 minute walk downhill from Ella town through tea and jungle — uphill on the way back. A tuk-tuk to the Demodara side is quieter and saves the climb. It is free, with no ticket and no official viewing area. See our Nine Arch Bridge guide.
Roughly every two hours, but Sri Lanka Railways runs 30-90 minutes late routinely, so any blog quoting exact times is quoting a timetable rather than reality. Ask at Ella station on the morning — staff will tell you what is expected and how late it is running.
Little Adam's Peak for almost everyone — 45 minutes up a stepped path for arguably the better view, out through the Ella Gap. Ella Rock is three hours return, largely unsigned, and people get lost on it regularly; take a guide or an offline map. Compared in full here.
Reserved seats open 30 days ahead and sell out within hours from December to March. Unreserved 2nd/3rd class is sold on the day and always available — you will stand, which is where the open doorways are. Send your luggage ahead by road if you have a driver. See getting to Ella.
January to March for the clearest Ella Gap views. June to September is dry but hazy from the Uva wind; October to December is wet. The real risk is cloud, not rain — at 1,000 m the view can be inside a cloud on a dry day, and mornings are clearer than afternoons in every month. See best time to visit Ella.
Two nights, which gives you two dawns — Little Adam's Peak on one, Ella Rock or a tea morning on the other, with the bridge mid-morning on day one. Our Ella 2-day itinerary sets out the order.
Do everything before nine in the morning. The Gap view is clearer in the morning in every month, Little Adam's Peak has a queue by nine, and the Nine Arch Bridge has hundreds of people on it by ten.
