Property information

@nimal_nest_inn Located in the mountains, come and enjoy homemade breakfast with a view of little adams peak. It is lovely and peaceful up here and yet just a 15 min or 5min tuktuk down to Ella city and train station. You can hike to the popular attractions- nine arch bridge, Ella Rock, Little Adams Peak, Adams Peak and we can also organise day trips to some breathtaking waterfalls! We look forward to meeting you!
