Sri Lanka’s hill-country railway is widely considered one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world, a slow, meandering ascent through tea-carpeted mountains, dramatic ravines, and mist-softened highland villages that unfold like a moving painting through the window of your carriage. We incorporate these iconic rail journeys into our itineraries as experiences in themselves rather than merely as transport – allowing travellers the time and space to absorb the extraordinary landscape as it scrolls past. The routes from Kandy to Nanu Oya, from Nanu Oya to Ella and the highland sections in between offer different perspectives on the same magnificent landscape, each equally rewarding in its own way.
