See tea estates, pickers, and lovely views on this hike, which is gentle until you hit the stairs! At the top you can choose to visit up to three peaks. We did two. If you follow the signs to 98 Acres, there's a green tea factory (Finlay's) that's interesting. Cafe 98 is also great for a relaxing drink.

The view from the top is fantastic. There are a lot of stairs and I managed to get to the top with a dodgey hip. The tea plantations along the way are spectacular. Take some small change for the tea pickers as they really appreciate a little tip for taking their photos.

Lovely walk through tea plantations to a small peak with gorgeous views. Very easy walking even in summer shoes. Go to a little roadside restaurant called Adam's Breeze for a homemade lunch.

Its a good place to inspire natural beauty.. surrounded by mountains.Good place for bird watching early in the morning..The pathway to the rock includes tea estate views as well.Worth for travelers who loves mountain hikes which are not polluted still...Dunhinda falls situated nearly 2-3 km away. bike ride from Ella town would be a good experience

Early morning 'hike' up to Little Adams Peak was well worth it. Avoid the heat by going early or late - as long as there's daylight you're good to go! I say hike but really it's a walk that will give you a slight work out, if the weather is good then you'll manage it in flip-flops. Walk through meandering... More

My husband and I, accompanied by our guide, Krishan Fernando from TripLanka Tours, hiked to Little Adam's Peak. It is worth the climb for the spectacular views and the bird watching. It took us about an hour, as we stopped to take pictures. Go early before it gets too hot!

The reviews were slightly deceiving and we took a path which took us no where. From 98 acres, head down the road from the reception (ask them directions) and take the 2nd turn to the left with a iron barrier/ gate and walk up the gravel road. After the first fee steps (maybe 10 - 20) there seems to be... More

It takes about 30-40 mins to climb little Adam's peak with 2 young kids . We started the climb near the hotel 98 acres. The first part is a walk through the tea plantation and the last part consists of steps which are a bit steep. We were told this was the shorter path and took it because of the... More

Easy peasy stroll. 4km round trip mostly flat. Really pleasant wandering through the tea plantations. Not brilliantly signposted but you're walking past shops and houses so the locals will tea you if you've walked into their field by mistake. It was great to get our legs going again and ready for bigger walks like Workds End and Adams Peak (the... More
