WALK TO LITTLE ADAM'S PEAK

You can do this trip without a guide. It is a fairly easy hike and the path is market by signs so it`s easy to find. Two hours take the walk from Zion view and back. Direction 1.5 km along the passara road. The beginning of the path goes through beautiful lush green tea plantations full of tea picking ladies. It is not a challenging hike and it`s quite short, but gives you a good impression of the landscape around Ella and the view is fantastic! So absolutely worth the climb! If you don`t have that much time in Ella, I highly recommend taking the hike up to Little Adam`s Peak.
