Descripción completa

Este es el inverso de la subida clasica, y el paisaje se despliega en orden opuesto, primero plantaciones de te, luego el descenso boscoso, luego Kandy en su valle, luego hacia la llanura de la zona seca donde las rocas del triangulo cultural se elevan sobre matorral plano.

La mañana comienza en las plantaciones sobre Nuwara Eliya, con una visita a una fabrica de te en funcionamiento que sigue la hoja desde las artesas de marchitado a traves del enrollado, la oxidacion y el secado hasta la mesa de clasificacion. Las cascadas de Ramboda siguen en el descenso, una caida de 100 metros a poca distancia a pie de la carretera.

Kandy esta aproximadamente a mitad de camino, y la parada aqui es breve, el lago y el exterior del Templo del Diente, a menos que quiera pagar para entrar y añadir una hora.

Los jardines de especias de Matale vienen despues, cultivando canela, cardamomo, pimienta y nuez moscada en la misma parcela, y luego Dambulla: cinco cuevas excavadas bajo un saliente de granito y pintadas de suelo a techo, con unas 150 imagenes de Buda. Desde Dambulla son quince minutos hasta Sigiriya, donde le dejan en su hotel con la subida a la roca todavia por delante al dia siguiente.

Sigiriya es una columna de roca de 200 metros que se eleva sobre la llanura de la zona seca, en la que el rey Kasyapa construyo su palacio en el siglo quinto tras usurpar el trono, y es un lugar de la UNESCO desde 1982. La subida son unos 1.200 escalones por escaleras y pasarelas de hierro, pasando por el muro espejo con sus grafitis milenarios y la galeria protegida de frescos, hasta las garras del leon que dan nombre a la roca y los cimientos del palacio en la cima. Toma una hora y media de ida y vuelta para la mayoria de la gente y es mejor comenzar a las 7:00, antes del calor y los autobuses; la entrada para visitantes extranjeros es una de las mas caras del pais, y Pidurangala, la roca vecina, ofrece la vista clasica de Sigiriya por una fraccion del precio.

The train trip was fabulous, the Nanu Oly to Kandy drive was great, the scenery, amazing Ramboda Falls, the choas of Kandy. Our driver was excellent and got us to our hotel safely.

Wre traveled from Ella to Kandy, but not as originally planned due to last year's devastating cyclone. So we had a a scenic tran to start from Ella to Ambewela which is amazing especially today with the sun shining and the windows open in 3rd class which really is the best class. Do try and book the right side of the train for the most it has to offer, but the left is plenty good enough it just means getting up in a couple of places to get the pictures. Once at Ambewela our private car was waiting for us and was easy to spot as we had been sent pictures of our vehicle. We then had a lovely dri

It was great. The driver made our trip really special, he was such a nice guy. We‘ve seen really local sides of Sri Lanka thankfully to this offered tour. It was amazing, would definitely do it again and recommend going with this company.:)

Leider handelte es sich nur um einen Fahrer und keinen Guide. Der Fahrer konnte kein Englisch, daher hat er uns weder etwas zum Ablauf (Treffpunkte, etc.) noch zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten erzählen können. Die Fahrt war okay. Die Zugfahrt ging tatsächlich erst ab Haputale und war dadurch kürzer.

Very disappointing experience and poor value for money. I booked this package specifically because it advertised reserved train seats from Ella to Nanu Oya, and I even contacted the provider beforehand to make sure this was confirmed. In reality, the reserved tickets they provided were only from Haputale to Nanu Oya, and we only found this out on the morning of the trip. This had never been mentioned before. We therefore had to buy third-class non-reserved tickets ourselves from Ella at the last minute and travel in an extremely overcrowded carriage. For such a high price, this was very poor v

Très mauvaise expérience à faire!!! Le guide ne parle pas un seul mot d’anglais !!! Très compliqué pour se faire comprendre. Nous avons passé le trajet en train debout sans aucune place assise pendant 4h !! Aucune indication sur à station à laquelle descendre, sur le lieu de rencontre une fois arrivée. Vraiment pas professionnel. À notre arrivée , nous avons demandé à s’arrêter pour manger , pareil il ne comprenait pas. Nous avons réussi à manger vers 15h à l’arrivée du tea factory. Aucune autre point d’arrêt n’a été respecté. Pour la casade , nous n’avions pas le droit de descendre alors que

Prise en charge du début à la fin vraiment top. Le chauffeur est venu nous chercher devant notre guesthouse, nous a déposé à la gare de Haputale (c’est le seul bémol car je pensais partir de Ella en train). Il nous attendait à la sortie du train puis nous avons pris la route avec un stop pour manger devant le lac (il nous a demandé si nous voulions manger et nous a laissé choisir quoi manger). Le stop à la manufacture de thé est incluse et sans supplément, la visite en français ! Il s’arrête quand on veut pour les photos Bref top !

Preguntas frecuentes

Hotel pickup in Nuwara Eliya; the exact address and time are confirmed after booking.
The price does not cover entrance fees at dambulla and elsewhere, meals and drinks, tea and spice purchases, gratuities.. 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.
Lanka Travel Hub. 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.
Roughly 1,200 steps, about 180 m above the plain, with handrails the whole way. Entry is around USD 30-35 for foreign adults — one of South Asia's priciest tickets — paid in cash. Climb at the 7am opening: there is no shade above the frescoes. Full detail in our Sigiriya rock guide.
It is cheaper and has the better view — of Sigiriya. What it does not have is the water gardens, frescoes, mirror wall, lion's paws or summit palace. For the photograph, take Pidurangala. For the site, take Sigiriya. Compared properly in our Sigiriya rock guide.
Roughly June to September, peaking in August, when the shrinking reservoir exposes fresh grass and several hundred elephants converge. Outside those months the herds disperse and you get a normal safari. Operators switch between Minneriya, Kaudulla and Hurulu depending on where the herds are — that is them doing their job. See our Minneriya gathering guide.
Five caves under one granite overhang, in continuous use since the 1st century BC, holding around 150 Buddha images and 2,100 m² of painting. The approach is a steep 15-minute climb; shoes come off at the top terrace, so bring socks. See the Dambulla cave temple guide.
Polonnaruwa if you have one morning — compact, cyclable in three hours, and the Gal Vihara is the finest sculpture in the country. Anuradhapura if you have a full day and an interest in living Buddhism; it is a thousand years older and still an active pilgrimage city. See Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura.
Sigiriya is in the dry zone and follows the *northeast* monsoon — its wet season is October to January, the opposite of Colombo. Best months are May to September, which is also the elephant Gathering. See best time to visit Sigiriya.
Two nights in Sigiriya, Dambulla or Habarana. Day 1: the rock at 7am, Dambulla late morning, a 3pm safari. Day 2: Polonnaruwa by bicycle or Pidurangala at sunrise. Our Sigiriya 2-day itinerary sets out the order and why it matters.
