      Our second hike in Ella was to Little Adam`s Peak, which we did in between the two longer ones. We did this trip without a guide. It is a fairly easy hike and the path is market by signs so it`s easy to find, and very popular among tourists! So expect to meet many other people from all over the world on this trip! On the two other more remote trips we did in Ella, we hardly met anybody, just some locals now and then.

The Little Adam`s Peak got it`s named after it`s big brother, the holy mountain Adam`s Peak, because of the similar shape. Adam`s Peak is further west in Sri Lanka, close to Nuwara Eliya, and is 2243 m high and a much more exhausting and more challenging climb! The mountain has however three names; Adam`s Peak (this is where Adam first set foot on earth after being cast out of heaven), Sri Pada (Buddha`s footprint left by the Buddha as he headed towards paradise) and Samanalakande (Butterfly mountain, where butterflies go to die). We had plans of climbing Big Adam`s Peak, but Espen hurt his knee so we settled for the “little brother” instead.

The path up the hill to Little Adam`s Peak is easy to find, and is marked by signs showing the way next to the 98 Acres Resort, to the right of this white Buddha.

The beginning of the path goes through beautiful lush green tea plantations full of tea picking ladies.

If you want know more about Sri Lankan tea and the tea industry, read our blog post: Would You Like A Cup of Sri Lankan Tea?

The Little Adam`s Peak, 1141 m high, is fairly easy to climb, with a good path all the way up.

The trip took us about 2-3 hours in total (including picture taking). We also met some Norwegians on our way up, which we stopped and talked to for a while.

Little Adam`s Peak got it`s name from it`s big brother Adam`s Peak, because they have the same shape.

Some places the path is pretty steep.

Breathtaking views as we got close to the top!

At the top of Little Adam`s Peak. Nice views!

On our way down we stopped at 68 Acres Resort, and had delicious lunch with spectacular views!

Lunch and mango smoothies with a great view at 68 Acres Resort.

Nice bungalows at 68 Acres Resort.

We had a great walk up to Little Adam`s Peak. It is not a challenging hike and it`s quite short, but gives you a good impression of the landscape around Ella and the view is fantastic! So absolutely worth the climb! If you don`t have that much time in Ella, I highly recommend taking the hike up to Little Adam`s Peak.

If you want to do some more hiking in Ella, and some longer ones, here are the two other we went on with guide.
