OUR FAVOURITE RAIL JOURNEYS
1. THE ‘BLUE TRAINS’ of SRI LANKA
The 6 ½ hour stunning train ride from Ella to Kandy (and vice versa) is the best on the island and
arguably the best in the world. The iconic Instagram photos of people leaning out of the trains,
(which are not always blue because there is a vintage red train too!), are well documented.
It climbs high into the mountains, passing through local villages and tea plantation country. Vendors sell a range of delicious snacks throughout the journey.
We recommend booking the very affordable tickets, and reserving a seat, in advance. First class is air conditioned but in 2nd class you can open the windows.
The views are stunning on both sides but arguably the left -hand side is best when travelling from Ella to Kandy. The famous Nine Arches Bridge (91m long and 24m high) connects Ella to Demodara station.
