Yes, all the major hiking trails in Ella, including the highly popular Little Adams Peak and the path to the Nine Arch Bridge, are fully cleared and perfectly safe to hike now. The local community and authorities worked rapidly to clear the mud and fallen trees immediately after the cyclone passed.
While the main paths are safe, you might still see small, isolated patches of minor landslide damage on the extreme outer edges of the Ella Rock trail. Just ensure you wear sturdy hiking boots with good grip, as the shaded dirt paths can remain slightly slippery.
Scam Watch: ella
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.
