Take a Scenic Train Ride to Ella
The train journey from Kandy or Nuwara Eliya to Ella is often described as one of the most beautiful in the world. The tracks curve through rolling tea plantations, pine forests, and mist-shrouded mountains while colorful villages pass by the window. This route was originally built by the British in the nineteenth century to transport tea from the hill country to the coast, and it remains one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic experiences. Standing at the open train door, feeling the wind and hearing the rhythmic clatter of the tracks, you sense a blend of nostalgia and wonder that words can hardly capture.
