The Train Ride

Product Information

You should definitely spend some time at the coast in the south and west of Sri Lanka as nature and the beaches here are stunning! Hey, update for you guys, we did take the train from Kandy yesterday 30th Jan 2019 to Nanuoya (same route to Ella). Awww, thank you so much for your nice comment! It really means a lot coming from a Srilankan! I totally get that you miss Sri Lanka a lot, even I do and I`m not even from Sri Lanka. 🙂

Given the short time frame, would there be any regions you would recommend? We were planning on getting off the plane with no plan and go from there, but given 4-5 days i figured we should at least have a rough idea to make the most of it. Then you can take the train from Nuwara Eliya to Ella (a 2,5 hours train trip). The train station in Nuwara Eliya is called Nanu Oya (a short tuk-tuk or taxi ride from downtown Nuwara Eliya). You can search for train schedules HERE (search from: Nanuoya, to: Elle).

Departure from Nuwara Eliya (Nanu Oya Station): 15:55 – Arrives at Ella Station: 18:27 (VIP train ViceRoy II by 12Go) We did not take the bus in Sri Lanka at all, as it takes a long time and the buses are in bad shape. It didn`t feel safe. Maria, I am local and very impressed with your knowledge about Sri Lanka. The advise you offer to would be visitors is authentic and helpful. If I have the power, I will appoint you as a Travel Consultant to the Tourism Authority – haha. Keep up the good work. We owe you. Reply It takes about 2-3 hours by car from Ella to the south-coast, depending on where on the coast you want to go.

First of all, thanks so much to you guys. Your Sri Lankan blogs helped so much in inspiring our recent trip. You can find train times here: http://eservices.railway.gov.lk/schedule/homeAction.action?lang=en (search from Kandy to Nanuoya).Thank you for all the information you have compiled for Sri Lanka – you’re blog and information has made our planning so much easier ! Seeing recommendations for N. Eliya–Ella section on Kandy-Ella route makes me reconsidering the plan. Do you have any suggestion? To switch to car or bus, and/or to take N. Eliya–Ella train during the stay in N. Eliya, or to skip N. Eliya and visit Ella instead. On the South we would be just 2 days, but could be shorten for one day in favour of central part. The train journey from Ella to Kandy, through Sri Lanka’s Hill Country, takes about 6-7 hours in total. January: 2nd / 3rd, 7th / 8th, 9th / 10th, 14th / 15th, 16th / 17th, 21st / 22nd, 23rd / 24th, 28th / 29th, 30th / 31st. On your way to the beach (from the airport), you should stop at Galle, a great little city that I`m sure you and your children will love: https://nerdnomads.com/galle (they have some delicious ice cream in Galle!)
