Nine Arches Bridge – The Jewel of Ella, Sri Lanka

Tucked away in the misty hills of Ella, the Nine Arches Bridge is a masterpiece of colonial-era engineering. Built entirely of stone and brick in the early 20th century, it gracefully spans across lush valleys surrounded by emerald tea plantations. I arrived just after sunrise, when the air was cool and birdsong echoed through the hills. The most magical moment came as a bright blue train curved slowly across the arches, framed by the green landscape — it felt like a scene from a movie.

You can reach the bridge by walking along the railway from Ella station or hiking through scenic tea fields. Along the way, friendly locals sell fresh coconuts and snacks, adding warmth to the journey. Whether you’re into history, photography, or simply soaking in nature’s beauty, Nine Arches Bridge is a destination you won’t forget.
