Flying Ravana mega zipline Ella: dual cable specs, weight limits, and wind abort rules?
3 Answers from travellers
The Flying Ravana zipline at Little Adam's Peak is a European ERCA-certified dual-cable ride spanning 550 meters at speeds up to 80 km/h. Rider weight limits are strictly enforced between 30kg minimum and 110kg maximum, with a minimum height requirement of 110cm. The line utilizes redundant steel core aircraft cables and a dual magnetic eddy-current passive braking system on the landing deck. Operations are suspended if crosswinds across the valley gap exceed 25 knots or during electrical thunderstorm warnings.
Wear closed-toe sports shoes and secure loose action cameras with wrist lanyards; dropping phones into the 80-meter deep tea ravine results in permanent loss.
Book morning slots (9:00 AM to 11:00 AM); afternoon hill-country mist and rain showers frequently trigger temporary operational holds.
