The train journey from Kandy through the tea hills to Ella is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful rail journeys on Earth, and at Ananthaya Travel, we have built a series of slow travel experiences around this iconic route and others like it. Travelling by train through Sri Lanka’s highlands offers a different encounter with the landscape, windows open to cool mountain air, paddy fields and waterfalls blurring past, tea pickers visible in the emerald rows of plantation below, and the gentle rhythm of the train making space for reflection and wonder. We integrate scenic train travel into our round tour itineraries as a highlight rather than merely a means of transport, and our guides ensure you board with the knowledge to fully appreciate every kilometre.
