No trip to Sri Lanka is complete without experiencing the legendary blue train winding through the hill country from Kandy to Ella.
Why is this journey so special?
As the train slowly ascends through emerald green hills, you will pass tea pickers at work, wave to smiling local children, and cross majestic colonial-era viaducts like the famous Nine Arch Bridge.
Tips for the best journey
- Book 1st class or 2nd class reserved seats in advance.
- Sit on the right side from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya, and on the left from Nuwara Eliya to Ella for the best vistas.
- Keep your camera ready as you approach Demodara Nine Arch Bridge!
