Ziplining and Little Adam's Peak Hike from Ella

Fly across the hills, then climb to the viewpoint

Ziplining and Little Adam's Peak Hike from Ella combines two activities in one morning: you operate the zipline equipment with an instructor and support crew, then hike to the 3,415-foot peak for a bird's-eye view of the surrounding hills. Hotel pickup and drop-off, private tuk-tuk transport, guide, water and all safety gear are included. The full day runs about four hours.

The experience

Want to know if you can actually do both activities in one morning? You can. The day starts with hotel pickup by private tuk-tuk, then you're outfitted with safety equipment and paired with an English-speaking guide and support crew for the ziplining portion. You operate the equipment yourself (the guide and crew manage the rigging and safety checks), so you're not watching a demonstration. The zipline runs through the hills of Badulla District, which sits 3,415 feet above sea level about 200 kilometers east of Colombo.

After ziplining, the same guide leads you on the hike to Little Adam's Peak. The route climbs through terrain that shows off the region's natural backdrop: towering mountain ranges, waterfalls and the mix of plant and animal life that makes Ella a destination for both casual visitors and people who came to move. The peak itself delivers the bird's-eye view: the payoff for the climb. You get a 1-liter water bottle for the day, and the tuk-tuk brings you back to your hotel when both activities are done.
