The Sri Lanka hill country railway is regarded as one of the most beautiful train journeys, winding through a landscape of beauty as it climbs from the central plains through mist-wrapped mountains, tumbling waterfalls and endless terraces of emerald tea bushes. The journey from Kandy to Ella – passing through Nanu Oya and the highlands of Nuwara Eliya – is the most celebrated route, offering ever-changing panoramas from windows that frame the landscape like living paintings. Travelling by train through the hill country is as much about the journey itself as the destinations at either end -the cool air, the rhythm of the carriages, the occasional tunnel and the sight of tea pluckers working the steep slopes create an experience of rare, unhurried beauty. We help secure the best observation car seats and timing to ensure your rail journey is as memorable as possible.
