The Train Ride

Product Information

You will have amazing views no matter which side of the train you sit. But if you can choose, it is best to sit on the left side of the train from Ella to Kandy as the views are slightly better on that side. We sat on the right side, however, and we still had some spectacular views. Such a great read, and wealth of information. We’re traveling from South Africa to Sri Lanka in December. Going to do Colombo – Ella – Tangalle – Mirissa – Hikkaduwa.

The whole train trip with ViceRoy II takes about 9-10 hours, but you can book whatever stretch you want, and you don´t have to do the whole train route.Kandy can be a busy and noisy city so it is worth considering staying a little outside the city center. Especially with transportation being so cheap and readily available. We have never taken a night train in Sri Lanka, so unfortunately I can`t give you any advise regarding Sri Lankan night trains and their safety.

Train Trip? Sri Lanka Train Travel World`s Most Beautiful Train Trip? Sri Lanka Train Travel

My wife and I are planning to do the expo rail from colombo to ella. In your trip from Ella to Kandy did the train make stops along the way? If so did it stop long? If not did you mind being closeted in for 7 (in our case 9 straight hours) Grand Hotel– A spectacular colonial-style hotel with amazing high tea and a fantastic restaurant, in the middle of Nuwara Eliya town. Has a very nice swimming pool. Awww, thank you so much for your nice comment! It really means a lot coming from a Srilankan! I totally get that you miss Sri Lanka a lot, even I do and I`m not even from Sri Lanka. 🙂 Departure from Nuwara Eliya (Nanu Oya Station): 15:55 – Arrives at Ella Station: 18:27 (VIP train ViceRoy II by 12Go)Polonnaruwa is another option, but then you should probably spend a night there as the drive takes about 4 hours from Kandy each way. This is a new small hotel located a ten-minute tuk-tuk ride away from the city center. It has 3 large and spotlessly clean rooms with hot water showers and spectacular views overlooking the Ella gap. The service can rival any five-star hotel and the excellent breakfast is served on your balcony. It is free in-room Wi-Fi. Oh wow! this looks beyond beautiful. That green almost hurts your eyes. I’ve always been fascinated with luxury train travel. Orient Express, Royal Scotsmans…I so want to ride one one day!

If you come across any ‘knotty’ situations where you need more information, please ask me and I will be glad to help in any way I can. After reading your blog, I am contemplating on starting one myself to offer useful tips to would be travellers to Sri Lanka.The safaris in Sri Lanka are great, where you can see wild elephants, leopards, monkeys, water buffaloes etc. There are five large national parks in Sri Lanka: Yala National Park, Kumana, Willpattu, Galoya and Udawalawa wildlife sanctuary. We went to Yala National Park: https://nerdnomads.com/safari-in-yala-national-park. Loved it! We did not go to Horton Plains on our trip to Sri Lanka, but I`ve heard it`s beautiful. As far as I know there are two train stations close to Horton Plains National Park; Ohiya and Ambewela. The train ride from Ella to Ohiya and Ambewela takes about two to three hours, and from Ohiya and Ambewela you can take a tuk-tuk or taxi to Horton Plains. reading through your amazing blog I want to do it all: train trips, tea plantations, caves, temples…
