Overview

Board your train in Kandy and begin your magical journey through rugged mountains, lush greenery, and pristine lakes. Find your seats in the second/third-class section of the train and settle in. Enjoy the wind blowing through your hair as all the windows are open for the elements in this section of the train! As you ride to Ella, the train will first pass through a narrow ridge and misty green forests before reaching Ella Rock and several rushing waterfalls. Continue through Haputale to reach the tea villages and plantations in Nanu-Oya. Continue through luscious fields of tea to cross into Horton Plains, keeping an eye out for deer and rhododendrons. As enter your final stretch, enjoy the views of green rolling hills before pulling into Ella, a bustling town in the hills. Due to damage caused by Cyclone Dithwa, the Until Further Notice Train Experience will temporarily start at Nanuoya. We provide a complimentary shuttle service to the starting point from Kandy.
