The Train Ride

Product Information

Hmm, I am not sure Adam`s Peak is recommended for little kids. It is a very challenging climb, even for grown-ups. It is 2243 meter of steps to climb! 🙂

So sorry for your bad experience, hope it all gets sorted out and that it did not ruin your Sri Lanka trip. We took the train from Colombo to Galle, a very beautiful train ride and highly recommended. This train ride takes about 2,5 hours (express train). Such a great read, and wealth of information. We’re traveling from South Africa to Sri Lanka in December. Going to do Colombo – Ella – Tangalle – Mirissa – Hikkaduwa. It was a nice holiday trip. I always wanted to do things like this. How do you think the ideal time to do the holiday as you do? and is there any other locations in Asia which could be an alternative destination as you travel. very nice. nice post. thanks. ReplyThe most scenic way: Walk through the jungle at the parking spots after Art Cafe Umbrella. From here, follow the path for about 10 minutes giving you a spectacular view of the bridge and plenty of photo opportunities. Colombo – Kandy (2,5 hours by train). This train trip is one of Sri Lanka’s most scenic train trips as the train goes up into the mountains from the Colombo coast. We did this and it was great! It is also highlighted in the Lonely Planet book as Sri Lanka’s nicest train trip. You can also do this by taxi, this takes about 3 hours. This family-run place is very popular so reserve your room early! The view is spectacular and the rooms are well furnished, clean and comfortable with hot water showers, fridge, cable TV and free Wi-Fi. The three brothers that run it are super friendly, and the mother cooks a delicious breakfast served on the terrace. It’s located on a quiet hill about 10 minutes walk from Ella Town. All in all, its fantastic value for money! If you want to get away from busy downtown Kandy then this small hotel is a great option! Located about 20 minutes drive from Kandy center it overlooks the valley and offers spectacular views of the area. It has a huge swimming pool and the friendly staff makes you feel right at home. If we ever visit Kandy again, we will for sure have a look at this! 🙂 Since you have three nights in Kandy, you should spend one whole day exploring Kandy and it`s nearby surroundings (Kandy Lake, Buddhas Tooth Temple, Elephant Orphanage, Kandy Botanical Garden). The second day you can do a day-trip to for instance Dambulla Cave Temple (a 2 hour drive from Kandy) or Sigiriya (a 2,5 hour drive from Kandy), or both on the same day.

me, my husband and our 5yrs old daughter are going to sri lanka next month. were going to nuwara eliya from colombo and after that go to Kandy and the cultural triangle. May i know how to go from Kandy to Dambulla? by bus, train or taxi? thanks 🙂 Reply The closest train station to Nuwara Eliya is called Nanu Oya (or Nanuoya), located approximately 8 km outside of Nuwara Eliya, or a 10-min taxi or tuk-tuk drive.Thank you so much and thanks for pointing out the issue with the maps. I will definitely look into the maps and add more accurate maps and descriptions. For the maps, I have used My Maps by Google, and it only has three modes: driving route, bicycling route, and walking route. So no train route unfortunately. That’s why I added the driving route in the maps (which is not 100% accurate for trains, but give an idea of the places the train stop at). I will try and draw in the train line/ route manually, and see how it looks. Heritance Tea Factory– an old tea factory beautifully renovated into a hotel in the middle of the tea plantations

Viyana Boutique Hotel (if you want to stay in the center of Kandy, close to the famous Temple of the Tooth) Dec – 1. Jan: Kandy. Visit the Tooth Temple and the Elephant Orphanage, and maybe the Botanical Garden: https://nerdnomads.com/what-to-see-in-kandy-sri-lanka Yes, there are several stops between Polonnaruwa and Colombo. The entire train trip takes 7 hours, including stops at the villages and towns between Polonnaruwa and Colombo. Colombo is not our favorite city in Sri Lanka as it is big and noisy and not really that beautiful or unique. It is basically just a big city.

Departure from Nuwara Eliya (Nanu Oya Station): 14:50 – Arrives at Ella Station: 17:16 – Express Train (1st, 2nd, and 3rd class)

Great tips! I’m currently on my trip around the world with my husband. We are on month 5 an are leaving for Sri Lanka in a couple days. Thanks for these great tips! Reply It takes about 5-6 hours to drive from Ella to Galle. It takes almost the same time to drive the distances Kandy – Galle (a 6-hours drive) and Nuwara Eliya – Galle (a 6-7 hours drive).

We have been to both Cambodia and Vietnam, but Sri Lanka is still our favorite Asian country. The nature, the wildlife, the people, the culture, the beaches….everything is just better in Sri Lanka. 🙂 In the search field at the top, enter your preferred travel destinations in Sri Lanka (for instance from Ella to Kandy) or choose one of the popular destinations from the list Nuwara Eliya is green and lush, and great for hiking and walking among tea plantations. Horton Plains National Park is located close to Nuwara Eliya, great for bird watching and walking.
