Kandy is the starting point of one of the world’s most beautiful train routes: a stunning 4-7 hour journey through the tea plantation hills, which is an absolute must-do on any Sri Lanka travel route. Feel the wind blow through your hair and across your skin, as you dangle your feet outside the door of the open train- an exhilarating experience that allows you to see nature in a totally unique way. Take the morning train and grab a seat near an open window or door, I can promise you won't regret it. Nuwara Eliya is in-between the Kandy to Ella route and also a popular stop. It has the name Little England because of its cool and wet climate. At each train station, the train cabins get filled with sellers of drinks, fresh fruit, and salty or spicy peanuts, so you don’t need to pack extra snacks for the train ride. Reserve your seat in Second class to have the best experience. You will be able to spend the whole ride with your feet dangling out of the door, said like this it might sound a bit scary but you’ll be rewarded by the best view ever. Avoid taking third-class tickets since goods such as chickens and vegetables are transported there and it might turn the whole experience to a negative side. Throughout this train ride don’t miss any of the highlights such as walking over the 30-meter high Nine Arch bridge in Ella and the impressive view of the tea fields of Nuwara Eliya.
