Nine Arches Bridge Photos: Trip Moments
Old Nice BridgeNine Arch Bridge was built by the British in 1912, with its nine stunning arches. It is located between Ella & Demodara station. Trains pass the bridge about 6 times a day. The exact times change all the time in Sri Lanka but there should be one every hour. unfortunately when we arrived here, it was quite late in the evening and it was starting to rain heavily that we didnt get to wait for the train.peanutkacang10

Nine Arches BridgeWith around 15 minute walk through the forest located just a 5-10 minute from the Main Street of Ella, Nine Arch Bridge is a must visit! Simply beautiful architecture, Nine Arch Bridge was built by the British with its nine stunning arches. It is located between Ella & Demodara station. Trains pass the bridge about 6 times a day. The exact times change all the time in Sri Lanka but there should be one every hour. unfortunately when we arrived here, it was quite late in the evening and it was starting to rain heavily that we didnt get to wait for the train. we took the tuk tuk on the way back because we will get all soaked with the heavy rain. #scenictrain #ninearchespeanutkacang53

🇱🇰 The Most Photographed Place in EllaType "Ella Sri Lanka" and I'm sure the majority of the images you see is the iconic Nine Arches Bridge, a viaduct train bridge built entirely of bricks and cement without any steel support. The 91-m bridge was built around 100 years ago to connect two hills during the construction of Kandy-Badulla railway. It has become a popular photo spot in recent years and most tourists will not miss the chance of walking along the bridge. There are also many other viewpoints around the area. We chose to stop by Asanka Cafe which overlooks the bridge from a higher ground. It is a family run cafe which serves simple drinks and snacks. The train passes through the bridge a few times in a day. Make sure to check the train schedule beforehand. #thingstodo #srilanka #ella #tripblazers #bridge #viewpointmushroom0551
Nine Arches BridgeThe Nine Arches Bridge was built by the British in the 1930s and is still an active railway line today. Situated close to the main downtown area of Ella, it is a popular tourist attraction. The best way to get there is to hire a tuk tuk as the walk can be quite steep. On the railway, there are people that are selling different type of soft drinks and fruits too. It is a busy attraction but a very picturesque one tooMarty O’Brien3

The train ride traverses the mist-kissed hills of Sri Lanka, offering panoramic views of emerald-green terraced fields and cascading waterfalls.

The Nine Arches Bridge of Ella, Sri LankaMemorable times, happy times #friendstravel #srilankaDee-sama
Nine-hole bridge is a red photo point in Sri Lanka. It is located between Eller Railway Station and Demodara Railway Station. It is 99.6 feet high and is built entirely of cement and brick. It dates back to the British colonial period, by the British and the Lankans. The common design is still very strong. Nine-hole bridge is called "the bridge of the sky" in the Sinhalese language. It is on the bridge. Below is the tea garden where the fog is covered like a jade carpet. You can see the brightly-printed tea. The hard work of the women makes people feel that they are not disturbed by the impetuous, noisy modern civilization, and even have the illusion of a time reversal.Kenny Lam.1

I had an incredible experience visiting the Nine Arches Bridge! 😍 I highly recommend traveling to Sri Lanka, it is incredibly a land like no other! 🇱🇰🙌🏼😎
Also called the Bridge in the Sky, it is one of the best examples of colonial-era railway construction in the Sri Lanka. unfortunately, we were there during rain and the train was not on time. it was beautiful we loved it

Get your tourist shots here but be careful! The area around the bridge are full of leeches and the bridge is high up. Saw many tourists climbing on the bridge to take their photos
