Hidden waterfalls and hiking trails through Ella tea hillcountry
7 Answers from travellers
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.
The water is freezing but so refreshing after walking on the hot train tracks.
Watch out for leeches on that trail! Especially if it rained the night before.
Secret Waterfall (literally the name on maps) is another great one deep in the tea estates nearby.
No, absolutely do not cliff jump. The rocks are jagged and hidden just below the dark water surface.
Also, if you walk through the tea fields, stick to the dirt paths. Do not trample the tea bushes.
