Vollständige Beschreibung

Ambewela ist der Bahnhof oberhalb von Nanu Oya auf der Bergbahnlinie, und er ist ein nuetzlicher Absetzpunkt, wenn Sie dort statt am belebteren Bahnhof unten in den Zug steigen. Dieser Transfer bringt Sie zu einem der beiden, oder einfach zu Ihrem Hotel in Nuwara Eliya.

Die Stopps auf dem Weg hinauf sind handwerkliche statt des ueblichen Wasserfall-und-Fabrik-Sets. Zuerst ein Edelsteinmuseum und eine Schleifwerkstatt, Sri Lanka foerdert seit zweitausend Jahren Saphire, der Handel verlaeuft durch Ratnapura und Kandy, und einen geschliffenen und eingestuften Stein zu sehen erklaert viel darueber, warum die Laeden in jeder Touristenstadt dasselbe zu vollkommen unterschiedlichen Preisen verkaufen. Dann ein Holzschnitzatelier, wo die Kandy-Motive mit Handwerkzeugen in Ebenholz und Jak geschnitten werden, und eine Batik-Werkstatt, wo Wachs von Hand auf Stoff aufgetragen und der Stoff ueber mehrere Tage in Schichten gefaerbt wird.

Die Strasse steigt dann durch Ramboda in die Plantagen, und die letzte Stunde ist Tee auf beiden Seiten.

Das Absetzen erfolgt an Ihrem Hotel in Nuwara Eliya oder am Bahnhof Ambewela, vereinbart bei der Buchung.

Kandy war die letzte Hauptstadt der singhalesischen Koenige und hielt gegen Portugiesen und Niederlaender durch, bis die Briten sie 1815 einnahmen, und der Tempel der Heiligen Zahnreliquie am See ist der Grund, warum sie wichtig ist: Die Reliquie, von der man glaubt, es sei ein Zahn des Buddha, ist das heiligste Objekt der Insel, und ihre Verwahrung legitimierte einst das Koenigtum. Die Reliquienkammer oeffnet dreimal taeglich fuer Puja, etwa um 5:30, 9:30 und 18:30 Uhr, wenn das Trommeln beginnt und die Schlange am Reliquienschrein vorbeizieht. Die Kleidung bedeckt Schultern und Knie, Schuhe werden am Eingang ausgezogen, und die Esala Perahera im Juli oder August fuehrt den Schrein auf einem Elefanten zehn Naechte lang durch die Stadt.

A great trip from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya. Our driver,Jima was very friendly and chatty. He gave us lots of facts and interesting information. We stopped at waterfalls and a tea factory along the way. He even k8ndly stopped at a pharmacy that we needed. We would highly recommend this service and this driver. Great job, thank you.

Häufige Fragen

Hotel pickup in Kandy; the exact address and time are confirmed after booking.
The price does not cover entrance fees where they apply, train tickets, meals and drinks, purchases at the workshops, gratuities.. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Yes. The piece you make is yours and the host packs it for travel. Some materials need drying or firing time, so ask at the start if you are flying the same day.
Ranweli 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.

Be at the gate for the 6am opening, so leave Nuwara Eliya around 5am. World's End faces south and clouds over by nine or ten as warm air rises off the plain — arrive at eleven and you see a white wall. See our Horton Plains guide.
The town sits at about 1,900 m and drops to around 10°C at night, and few hotels have heating. Horton Plains at 2,300 m regularly sits near freezing before dawn, with ground frost from December to February. Bring a genuine warm layer — most visitors underestimate this.
No — they close on poya days, the monthly full moon and a public holiday in Sri Lanka. If your free day is a poya, take an estate walk with a plucker instead. Plucking happens in the morning; by afternoon the slopes are empty.
Mostly leaf size, not quality. OP is a long wiry whole leaf, BOP is smaller and broken, and fannings and dust go into teabags because the higher surface area brews fast. Bigger leaf is slower tea, not better tea. Explained in our Ceylon tea guide.
At a factory, not a tourist shop. Factory shops carry the higher grades that never reach a visitor shelf; the boxed tea on the main streets is usually fannings at visitor prices.
Nanu Oya, about 10 km and a 20-30 minute drive from the town. Nuwara Eliya has no station of its own, and tuk-tuk fares at Nanu Oya rise sharply the moment a train arrives.
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.
