Highlights
  • Bentota Travel Mart - .
  • Ella - .
  • Nine Arches Bridge - The Nine Arch Bridge, also called as the Bridge in the Sky, is a bridge in Sri LankaLocally it is known as ‘Ahas Namaye Palama’ meaning nine skies bridge in Sinhala. The name derives from the visual experience. . It is one of the best examples of colonial-era railway construction in the country.The construction of the bridge is generally attributed to a local Ceylonese builder, P. K. Appuhami, in consultation with British engineers.
    Commissioned under the British in the year 1921, the Nine Arch Bridge stands proudly, a testament to the engineering and architectural brilliance of the early 20th century. Ideally placed between the Ella and Demodara railway station, those choosing to walk along the bridge will be presented with scenes of rolling hills and dense jungle to delight in.
  • Little Adam’s Peak View Point - Named after its resemblance to the iconic Adam’s Peak/Sri Pada, Little Adam’s Peak is its smaller brother and a must-visit when in Ella. The hike to the top of Little Adam’s Peak is fairly easy; the peak is 1141m high.It is also incredibly easy to find the path to Little Adam’s Peak since it is clearly marked.
  • Rawana Falls - This waterfall measures approximately 25 m (82 ft) in height and cascades from an oval-shaped concave rock outcrop. During the local wet season, the waterfall turns into what is said to resemble an areca flower with withering petals. But this is not the case in the dry season, where the flow of water reduces dramatically. The falls form part of the Ravana Ella Wildlife Sanctuary, and is located 6 km (3.7 mi) away from the local railway station at Ella.
  • Uva Halpewatte Tea Factory Tour - Go around in the tea factory with a guide and Learn everything there is to know about Ceylon tea. And enjoy a tea tasting session where you will experience the art of tea tasting and manufacturing. It is also possible to purchase factory-fresh teas, while gazing at the panoramic views from our factory.

Once in a lifetime experience - A well organised trip from the start- up bright and early at 4am. Dinesh picked us up on time and we visited a waterfall, mini Adam’s peak and the nine arches before 9am! Feeding the monkeys at the waterfall was fun and a tuk- tuk was hired for us to take to the arches and the peak which was a fun surprise. The highlight of the trip was the train ride- we were dropped at Demodera station and took the train for an hour or so to Haputale. Beautiful views and recommend getting a 150Rs samosa on the train as a snack! We had lunch after the train ride in a buffet which offered amazing views. Really recommend this tour, the long drive 100% worth it.

Ella day trip - Thank you for such a lovely experience on the Ella day trip! We booked this as part of our honeymoon trip to Sri Lanka. It was an incredible day trip, which we are so glad we booked. A particular highlight was visiting Little Adam’s Peak. Despite the 30 minute hike, getting to the top was so worth it - the views were spectacular and breathtaking! Thanks again to Sam for organising this amazing experience for us. It was so well prepared, from start to end.

Beautiful Ella - This was our 2nd trip with Bentota Travel and another fantastic day. We were very happy that Dinesh was our driver again. Like the previous trip, he arrived promptly for us. It was an early 4am start but well worth it. Our first stop was Rawana Falls where we had an opportunity to take some pictures. Next, we stopped in Ella and had a quick bite to eat (breakfast provided by the hotel) then we met our tuk tuk driver who took us to the Nine Arches Bridge then Little Adam's Peak. The bridge was spectacular and the views from Little Adam's Peak were stunning! Next, we took the train from Demodara to Haputale which was an adventure. We were lucky enough to stop on the Nine Arches Bridge with beautiful views and we had time to take some more pictures. Afterwards, we stopped off at a tea factory to learn everything there is to know about the process of tea making. Finally, we stopped off for a bite to eat. On our drive back home Dinesh very kindly offered to take us via the Turtle Hatchery, which was near our hotel. It was so interesting and such a worthy cause. Overall, we had a brilliant day which we would highly recommend. 😊

Highlight of our trip - Dinesh was a fantastic guide! He got us to all attractions before the crowds. Sheeva (tuk tuk driver) was also amazing & really friendly. All communication was great from start to finish. The train ride was the highlight of our day, despite the rain. Overall, it was a very well organised trip. We wish we had slightly more time at each attraction. Would highly recommend & would definitely book again with Bentota Travel Mart. Thank you for a day we won’t forget!!!

Perfect Day of Fun! - Where do we start! First off Bentota Travels (Sam) is just a legend. This tour was incredible, Sam’s communication and confirmation of our Driver, times and everything else was fantastic. Danuskha our driver was just the best. So happy, informative and friendly. We had the best time in the car as we drove for hours. The tour itself was so much fun. My husband and I saw and experienced so much in this one day, we loved it. The train ride was so much fun, make sure to buy snacks on the train, the fresh vade was incredible. The tea estates were so educational and we had so much tea. Walking little Adam’s peake was great too, not as hard as I thought and I’m glad we did it. Overall the best day with a great Tour company. Do not miss this day!!

Safe for Female solo travelers - I planned the day trip with Shashi, and he was flexible with the itinerary to meet my needs. He really does care about how you experience Sri Lanka, and ensures you get the best experience and make happy memories. Completely safe for female solo travelers. Sri Lanken in general are super nice and do their best to serve you.
