Kandy to Ella Train Journey – Best Scenic Tour

Running down from Kandy to Ella, the train ride seems to be the most fabulous of all such train excursions in the world. The track itself is figured to carry ultimate scenic views of mountain ranges, patches of blue-green tea estates, mist clad hill tops, towering heisting waterfalls, and typical colonial village life. The journey from Kandy to Ella takes about 6-7 hours. But it really doesn’t feel long because of the constant magic of the views along the way. The daily schedules lay out the sequence of trains with the first one, Podi Menike (train number 1005), leaving Kandy at 8.47am to arrive at Ella at 3.15 p.m. The later one moves out of Kandy at 11:10 a.m. to drop by Ella by 5:30 p.m. On the reverse side, two trains run from Ella, the first one goes by at the early-bird hour of 6:39 a.m., and the next one at 9:23 a.m. Of course, since this train journey is one of the most famous tourism enchantments, it is always suggested to get a seat sooner than later, especially if travelling season tourist times (July-August and December-January). This particular train service is provided with first, second, and third class babbling cars. Eventually, the next leg will have you exploring Peradeniya, Hatton, Nanuoya and Haputale. Imagine sticking to a few, smaller sections-hotspots-perhaps Kandy to NuwaraEliya or NuwaraEliya to Ella. With windows always open, vendors being local, and a most awe-inspiring recognizable view, this will be a trip to remember for anybody. However, laughing a lot, the ultimate train ride of any destination would turn this particular event into the most fantastically fun train journey.
