The Kandy to Ella train journey is considered one of the most beautiful railway experiences in the world, winding through cloud-wreathed mountain passes, emerald tea estates, arching viaducts and cascading waterfalls in a journey of visual poetry. Travelling by train in Sri Lanka is an experience in itself, offering an intimate, unhurried perspective on the island’s landscapes and rural life that no road journey can replicate. Our slow travel routes are designed to make the most of the island’s scenic rail network, incorporating carefully selected train segments into broader itineraries to maximise the visual and experiential rewards of overland travel.
