The British-built railway line snaking through Sri Lanka’s Tea Country ranks among the most scenic in the world, affording superb views of the interior valleys and mountains. Rather than covering the whole trip between Kandy and Ella in one go, we recommend the section from Nuwara Eliya, which includes some of the most dramatic views on the line. We’ll ensure you’re allocated seats on the left side of the first-class observation carriage for the best panoramas.

You can add this experience to any tailor-made itinerary that includes nights in Nuwara Eliya and Ella.
