Ella Rock gets so crowded at sunrise Are there alternate adventurous routes up the mountain that are off the beaten path

There is a secondary much wilder route that approaches Ella Rock from the back side starting near the Ravana Falls area rather than Kithalella station However it is an unmarked steep scramble through thick jungle and tall grass It is a genuine adventure but you MUST hire a local village guide to do it If you try it alone using GPS you will get lost

I did the back route with a guide from our homestay It was incredible we did not see a single other tourist until we reached the summit

Wear long thick pants if you do the secret routes The grass is sharp and the leeches are brutal

People outside stations offer to "help" buy tickets but charge large markups. They may buy cheap third-class tickets and sell as more expensive classes.
