Nice walk, wear shoes with a little grip, because once you've gotten to the top there's another small peak waiting and you might wanna wear something more serious than a sandal or flip flops.

I walked the trail even a bit further than I should. Where I turned around it's a narrow trail with a steep descent to one side. Unfortunately, it's completely overgrown and you cannot see where to put the feet safely.

Nice walk with family. Before the path gonna get steep to go up to Ella's peak (at the junction with a small café) bent to left and descent to Ella. At the mainroad take a tuktuk to Ella or waterfall.
