Widely celebrated as one of the world’s most beautiful rail journeys, the hill country train route carries passengers through an ever-changing panorama of emerald tea estates, jungle waterfalls, mountain tunnels, misty highland villages and sweeping valley views. Departing from Kandy and winding through Nanu Oya towards Ella, the journey passes through the very heart of Sri Lanka’s central highlands at an unhurried, contemplative pace. Whether seated inside a heritage carriage or riding with the door open in the breeze, this is a journey that rewards those who understand travel itself can be the destination.
