What to expect

The Nine Arch Bridge, also known as the Bridge in the Sky, is a viaduct bridge in Sri Lanka and one of the best examples of colonial-era railway construction in the country. The bridge was designed to accommodate a challenging nine-degree curve and steep gradient, and it has since stood resilient, showcasing innovative engineering solutions. The surrounding area has seen a steady increase of tourism due to the bridge's architectural ingenuity and the profuse greenery in the nearby hillsides

This family's experience:

Activities: We took a train ride from Ella, passing the Nine-Arch-Bridge. It was an amazing experience. "My son and I took a train from Ella...over the famous 'Nine-Arch-Bridge' and through forests."

Highlights: The slow train ride was fun and a highlight for my son. We enjoyed the views. "The old train travels very slowly at only about 40 km/h over the rails." ✨
