Wonderful train ride - I went with my girl friends on 24th Jan 2025 and my train was from Nanu Oyo station to Ella. We booked a first class ticket, it was a 3hrs journey. The train ride is very scenic, you should take one if you are travelling to Nuwara Elliya in Srilanka.

Epic trip by train -Kandy to Ella - The train trip from Kandy to Ella was epic👌. The train goes slowly though the beautiful landscape of Sri Lanka, teefields, revinds, until nearly 1900 meters. You can make fantastic videos of your trip. We left the train in Ella. There you will find lots of bars, Restaurants and lodges with mountain view! Lakpura Travels Colombo helped us with the organization of this trip and so everything was perfect ans unforgettable. We recommend this!

Train Journey to Ella - The train was on time We started the journey from Gampaha and went up to Ella Tickets were for second class non AC reserved seating. The condition of the train was good, clean and comfortable. The non AC allowed to enjoy the climate chill winds and amazing views

Book directly online - same thing much cheaper!!! - Not sure why anyone would book at this extraordinary price…? Book directly online 30 days in advance. The trip is worth it but this pricing is well over 10x the face value of the ticket.
