Scenic Train Journeys
Watch the hills, villages and tea fields pass by on a train journey through the mountains.
A train journey through the hills lets you watch the landscape without spending the whole day in a car. Tea fields, small stations, villages and wooded valleys pass by outside. For many visitors, it is a chance to slow down between two places rather than another sightseeing stop.
Routes through the central hills can be included around Kandy, Nuwara Eliya and Ella. Nanu Oya is the station used for Nuwara Eliya. Your planner can help choose a section that fits your journey, so you do not need to spend an entire day on a train just to enjoy part of the route.
Check current services and seat availability before making the train a fixed part of your plan. Keep a road transfer as an alternative if needed, and discuss how your luggage will travel. Stay inside the carriage while the train is moving; views and photographs are not worth leaning out for.
