Take the hiking path towards Kithal Ella waterfall. It is a true hidden gem tucked into the jungle right off the railway tracks, just before the steep hike up Ella Rock. Because it requires a short hike through the bush, tour buses cannot access it. The pool at the base is very calm during the dry season and perfectly safe for a secluded, quiet swim.

Bring leech socks! That specific trail is very damp and the leeches are everywhere after a rainstorm.

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

Kithal Ella sounds perfect. We will pack our swimsuits and leech socks.
