HIKE FROM IDALGASHINNA TO HAPUTALE IN SRI LANKA

Idalgashinna Train Station

This is one of the least popular hiking trails around Ella, but offers some of the most outstanding views. We suggest buying a comfortable observation class train ticket (US$ 20 Per person approx.. not incl within excursion cost and as an additional charge) from Ella Railway station and taking the train to Idalgashinna (1hr 20min).

From there, hike back along the tracks back to Haputale. The views across the surrounding hills, tea plantations and local villages are unrivalled.

The terrain falls away dramatically on either side throughout the hike. At one point, you’ll walk along a narrow piece of track with spectacular views sliding away to your right and left. It’s also very quiet; we didn’t see any other hikers along this route and only a handful of locals.

Distance: 8km
Duration: 2 hours
From your Ella hotel Pick and Drop
Trekker Charge: US$ 25 (rate valid up to 31 December 2020)
