Vollständige Beschreibung

Die Zugfahrt von Kandy nach Ella ist die Fahrt, die jeder machen will, und sie ist auch die, bei der am haeufigsten etwas schiefgeht. Die komplette Strecke dauert fast sieben Stunden, Sitzplaetze sind Wochen im Voraus ausverkauft, und die schoenste Landschaft liegt im letzten Abschnitt. Diese Tour loest das, indem sie den Tag in zwei Teile teilt: Sie fahren den oberen Abschnitt mit einem privaten Fahrzeug und halten, wo es sich lohnt, dann steigen Sie in Nanu Oya in den Zug fuer den Teil, der den Ruf tatsaechlich verdient.

Die Strasse aus Kandy steigt durch den Ramboda-Pass, wo der Wasserfall in Stufen neben der Strasse herabfaellt und sich die Luft mit der Hoehe merklich veraendert. Tee ersetzt den Dschungel. Sie fahren an Plantagenfabriken vorbei, in denen das Blatt noch gewelkt, gerollt und sortiert wird, fast genauso wie damals, als die Briten im Jahr 1800 die Huegel bepflanzten, und es bleibt Zeit, anzuhalten und bei einer Tasse am Ort des Anbaus zu sehen, wie es funktioniert.

Nuwara Eliya sieht noch immer aus wie die Bergstation, die die Pflanzer bauten, eine Pferderennbahn, ein Postamt aus rotem Backstein, Hecken und eine kuehle Feuchtigkeit, die Besucher nach der Kueste ueberrascht. Von dort ist es nur ein kurzer Sprung zum Bahnhof Nanu Oya, wo Ihr reserviertes Zugticket wartet.

Der Zugabschnitt fuehrt durch Ohiya und Haputale nach Ella, entlang von Simsen, die in die Huegel geschnitten sind, mit Teepflueckerinnen, die unten an den Haengen arbeiten. Tueren bleiben offen, Verkaeufer gehen mit Vadai und Tee durch die Waggons, und die Wagen sind meist voll. Es ist aus gutem Grund die meistfotografierte Zugstrecke Sri Lankas.

Ihr Fahrer bringt Ihr Gepaeck auf der Strasse weiter nach Ella und trifft den Zug, sodass Sie mit leichtem Gepaeck reisen. Rechnen Sie mit einem vollen achtstuendigen Tag von Tuer zu Tuer, das ist ein Reisetag mit ausgezeichneter Landschaft, kein Ausschlaftag. Die Reise endet in Ella, buchen Sie also dort Ihre naechste Nacht.

We had Dhanu, who was an excellent guide. He was flexible and knowledgeable about the areas he took us to. We definitely recommend travelling with him for a tour from Kandy to Ella.

Ramzan was a very good driver who got us to the train on time. He was fast and yet drove safely (we didn't want to leave until 9:00 AM, which in retrospect was perhaps a bit tight). But Ramzan managed to get us to the train on time. We stopped at a tea plantation and a waterfall along the way. With Eminem, he hit the nail on the head with our musical taste! Thank you for the great experience!

Malik was our driver, and we were super happy! The whole tour was very, very great. Unfortunately, we had a little rain in Nuwara Eliya, but it was still a very nice tour! We would really recommend it. Malik carefully picked us up from the hotel earlier as an add-on so that the day wouldn't be so packed, and so we had more time. The tea plantations and especially the tea factory were really beautiful and interesting! The viewpoints and the waterfall are great!:) Best of all: Malik gave it his all on the train to Ella and went through the crowd for us and reserved a seat for us, and he also got the tickets. His commitment and that of his colleague from Get You Guide was really unbelievably great!!! We are super happy!

Mr. Danu took me by tuk-tuk to a scenic spot in the Nuwara area. I was very satisfied because I was able to see many beautiful tea plantations. He also helped me get from Nanuoya to the train, and he taught me how to get on, so I was able to get a good seat by the window and enjoy a ride with a spectacular view. Thank you very much. By the way, for those participating by tuk-tuk, the Nuwara area was quite cold, so a hoodie or similar is essential. Lol

Everything was fantastic. Sura was incredible - professional, attentive, kind and organized. The experience went beyond expectations and it was not something I could have handled myself without his assistance. Would recommend to all.

A truly unforgettable private tour! 😍🚗 We were lucky enough to have Ramzan Abdul as our driver. He was super kind, friendly, and helpful, and his cheerfulness made every moment even more special. He accompanied us to discover beautiful places, always with a smile and a lot of friendliness. With laughter, views, and many wonderful experiences, it was a really enjoyable and fun day! ❤️ Thank you so much for making our tour so wonderful. Absolutely recommended!

Häufige Fragen

Pickup from your hotel in Kandy; the driver will confirm the time the evening before.
The price does not cover meals and drinks; tea factory entrance fee if charged; entrance fees at any optional stops; gratuities; accommodation in ella.. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Unless the option says private, this runs as a small group. The operator caps it rather than filling a coach, and if you want it to yourselves the private option is priced separately on this page.
Pekoe Lanka Tours. We book with them directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can confirm your place with the operator before taking it as final.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice outside India. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

A 20-25 minute walk downhill from Ella town through tea and jungle — uphill on the way back. A tuk-tuk to the Demodara side is quieter and saves the climb. It is free, with no ticket and no official viewing area. See our Nine Arch Bridge guide.
Roughly every two hours, but Sri Lanka Railways runs 30-90 minutes late routinely, so any blog quoting exact times is quoting a timetable rather than reality. Ask at Ella station on the morning — staff will tell you what is expected and how late it is running.
Little Adam's Peak for almost everyone — 45 minutes up a stepped path for arguably the better view, out through the Ella Gap. Ella Rock is three hours return, largely unsigned, and people get lost on it regularly; take a guide or an offline map. Compared in full here.
Reserved seats open 30 days ahead and sell out within hours from December to March. Unreserved 2nd/3rd class is sold on the day and always available — you will stand, which is where the open doorways are. Send your luggage ahead by road if you have a driver. See getting to Ella.
January to March for the clearest Ella Gap views. June to September is dry but hazy from the Uva wind; October to December is wet. The real risk is cloud, not rain — at 1,000 m the view can be inside a cloud on a dry day, and mornings are clearer than afternoons in every month. See best time to visit Ella.
Two nights, which gives you two dawns — Little Adam's Peak on one, Ella Rock or a tea morning on the other, with the bridge mid-morning on day one. Our Ella 2-day itinerary sets out the order.
Do everything before nine in the morning. The Gap view is clearer in the morning in every month, Little Adam's Peak has a queue by nine, and the Nine Arch Bridge has hundreds of people on it by ten.
Time it for a puja — 5.30am, 9.30am or 6.30pm. Those are the only windows when the upper relic chamber opens and the hevisi drummers play; outside them you are visiting a beautiful building rather than a ceremony. Take socks: shoes come off at the gate and the stone courtyard gets painfully hot. Full detail in our Temple of the Tooth guide.
February for the clearest weather, or July-August, which is drier here than most people expect and covers the Esala Perahera. Kandy sits between Sri Lanka's *two* monsoons and catches some of both, so it has no long dry season — but it also never has a season that is a write-off. See best time to visit Kandy.
Reserved seats open 30 days ahead and sell out within hours from December to March. Unreserved 2nd/3rd class is sold on the day and always available — you will stand, which is where the open doorways and the famous photographs are. Sit on the right-hand side going south. Note there is no Nuwara Eliya station; the stop is Nanu Oya, 10 km away. See our Kandy to Ella train guide.
July or August — but the dates move every year with the lunar calendar, so any guide naming a fixed week is guessing. It runs ten nights and ends on the Nikini poya. Book accommodation on the route six to twelve months ahead. Details in our Esala Perahera guide.
Sigiriya and Dambulla (2.5 hrs each way) is the best of them. Kitulgala rafting is 2 hrs, the Knuckles range and Pekoe Trail stages are day hikes from here. Ella, Galle and Yala are *too far* — 4-6 hours each way. See day trips from Kandy.
Two nights. One full day for the town — Bahirawakanda, Peradeniya gardens, the lake and the evening puja — and a second for a hike, a village day or the cultural triangle. Our Kandy 2-day itinerary lays it out hour by hour.
The centre and the lake circuit are walkable. For anything up a hill or out of town, take a tuk-tuk — roughly LKR 100-150/km on the meter, and ride-hailing apps price it automatically with no negotiation. See getting around Kandy.
