Traveling on the Most Beautiful Train

#mountainview The Kandy to Ella train ride is arguably the most beautiful train ride in Sri Lanka, if not in the world! Highlight - On the train from Kandy or Nuwara Eliya to Ella, you will experience breathtaking views of lush green tea plantations, mountains, viaducts, valleys, and dense jungle. What’s more, it’s the perfect way to experience Sri Lankan life. You will meet smiling locals on the train, you can wave to the running children along the tracks, and eat the spicy snacks sold by vendors who board at each stop. After spending several days in Kandy and Nuwara Eliya, I boarded the train in Eliya. I was on a slow train and it took almost four hours to reach Ella. But honestly, I didn’t even want the train to arrive that fast at all. I remember after about one hour on the train, it moves higher and higher up into the rolling green highlands where the big tea farms are and many beautiful hilltop villages and waterfalls. The views were so stunning that I constantly felt like I stepped into a postcard. I can’t wait to go back to this beautiful little country and experience everything all over again. #naturalwonders #awesomepic #tigeryear2022
