Since moving to Hong Kong, I’ve really gotten into hiking. The city has hundreds of hiking trails offering incredible views of both sky-high buildings and islands/beaches. When I travel, I’m always on the lookout for a hike to go on. Little Adam’s Peak in Ella is the perfect hike for everyone – it’s not long or difficult. Ella is such a lovely little town, it would be an absolute shame if you missed out on this opportunity to see its surrounding mountains from on top of one! If you are spending a few nights in Ella, Little Adam’s Peak hike should definitely be on your list of things to do.
How to get to there
Little Adam’s Peak is such a popular tourist attraction (they’ve even built a zipline up there!) that your driver or taxi will know how to get there without any issues. Depending on where your hotel is, you might even be able to walk there.
The way up is very straightforward – simply follow the dirt path. At some points, you will see a sign leading you up ‘the stairway to Little Adam’s Peak’. Just follow the signs and stay on the path. There will likely be dozens of other tourists climbing up the peak at the same time, so if in doubt, just follow them.
Why you need to do Little Adam’s Peak hike
The climb up to the peak shouldn’t take more than 45 minutes. Once up there, you’re in for an absolute treat. The sweeping views of the surrounding mountains are absolutely breathtaking. You’ll actually be able to see Ella Rock (another, more challenging, hike) in the distance. There were plenty of people at the top, but everyone was very friendly and offered to take our photo. There are also a few rocks around, so you can sit down and spend some more time up there (before it gets too hot).
