9-Day Adventure Tour

Trip Overview

The 9-Day Adventure Tour is the most popular Paraiso Ceylon package for solo travellers and friend groups. Building on the Classic foundations, it adds the full Ella experience — one of the most spectacular highland towns in Asia — making the upgrade from the 7-Day one of the best value jumps in the portfolio.

Ella's Nine Arch Bridge, the scenic hike up Little Adam's Peak, the thundering Ravana Falls, and the optional zipline combine to make this the adventure itinerary. The blue train ride from Kandy through the tea estates to Ella is a highlight on its own. Sri Lanka ranked #1 solo female travel destination in 2024 — and the 9-Day Adventure is the definitive itinerary for that market.
