Accepted Answer

Yes! Take the hiking path towards Kithal Ella waterfall. It is tucked into the jungle right off the railway tracks on the way to Ella Rock. Because it requires a short hike through the bush, tour buses cannot get there. The pool at the base is very calm and usually completely empty, making it a perfect hidden gem swim.

If the water looks brown and muddy, do not swim. It means heavy rain upstream and flash floods could happen.

Kithal Ella sounds exactly like what we want. We will hike it tomorrow.

Watch out for leeches on that trail! Especially if it rained the night before.
