Description complète

Le chemin de fer d'Ella a Nanu Oya est le meilleur trajet en train d'Asie du Sud et l'erreur la plus commune des gens a son sujet est de le traiter comme un simple transport. Il est lent, souvent complet, et va vers une gare plutot que vers une ville, mais pendant deux a quatre heures il suit les courbes de niveau du pays du the le plus haut de l'ile, traversant le pont aux neuf arches en quittant Ella, avec les portes ouvertes et la vallee qui se derobe en contrebas.

Ce transfert resout le probleme pratique. Vous parcourez le tronçon panoramique sans contrainte tandis que votre chauffeur emmene les bagages par la route et vous retrouve a Nanu Oya. De la, la journee continue comme un transfert guide normal: le lac Gregory et le centre colonial de Nuwara Eliya, une fabrique de the, et les cascades de Ramboda a la descente, avant d'arriver a Kandy en soiree.

C'est le meilleur des deux mondes, le trajet sans la logistique, et les arrets qu'un train ne peut pas faire.

Deux remarques pratiques. Les sieges reserves s'ouvrent trente jours avant le depart et les wagons reserves se vendent vraiment, donc plus tot c'est reserve, meilleur est le siege; les deuxieme et troisieme classes non reservees sont toujours disponibles mais signifient rester debout. Et Nuwara Eliya se trouve a 1 900 metres, il fait froid en fin d'apres-midi et plus froid en soiree, ce qui surprend presque tout le monde arrivant de la cote. Apportez une couche.

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 !

Questions fréquentes

Hotel pickup in Ella; the exact address and time are confirmed after booking.
The price does not cover train tickets, which are bought separately and are subject to availability, meals and drinks, entrance fees, 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.
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.
