The ViceRoy II train runs every Tuesday and Thursday from Colombo to Badulla with these departing and arriving times at each station: You can also hire a car with a driver (we did that mostly to get around). The drive from Clombo to Ella takes about 5-6 hours depending on the traffic. Of course, a road trip through America is one of the best ways to see the magnificent views on offer across the country, butfrom time to time it's just nice to take a break from being behind the wheel. Instead, how about taking one of the best train rides in theUSA?Gently saunter across the country, leaving you free to contemplate life, ponder the meaning of existence or just spend a few hours thinking about nothing and staring out of the window. We have never taken a night train in Sri Lanka, so unfortunately I can`t give you any advise regarding Sri Lankan night trains and their safety.By the way, from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya, it is best to sit on the right side of the train. Have a great trip to Sri Lanka and enjoy the train trip! Another option is to head to the mountain area of Sri Lanka, like the hill city Nuwara Eliya. We did not visit this city, as we went to Ella town which is similar but further inland from Colombo. We loved the hill country with its beautiful lush and green landscape full of tea plantations. Perfect for hiking and doing walks. It takes 4-5 hours by car to reach Nuwara Eliya from Colombo.

If you want to get away from busy downtown Kandy then this small hotel is a great option! Located about 20 minutes drive from Kandy center it overlooks the valley and offers spectacular views of the area. It has a huge swimming pool and the friendly staff makes you feel right at home. If we ever visit Kandy again, we will for sure have a look at this! 🙂 There are lots of ways The Train Ride can be used in your class but discussions are a great way to encourage participation, opinion and confidence. As you're reading the story why not pause and ask your class some of these questions? The train journey from Ella to Kandy, through Sri Lanka’s Hill Country, takes about 6-7 hours in total. You probably mean the 30-meter high Demodara Nine Arch Bridge? This bridge is located near Ella, so yes you will see it if you take the train from Nuwara Eliya to Ella. But you will not see the bridge that well since the train is running on the bridge. By chance, we ended up at Ravana Heights and while we had originally intended to stay two nights we ended up staying for a full week. We especially enjoyed the new big and comfortable superior rooms with stunning views from the balcony. The location is excellent, you're just a short walk away from the main street of Ella with shops and restaurants.Tusen takk for all informasjon om Sri Lanka. Jeg planlegger en tur dit i oktober med golf, sightseeing, leopard-safari og tågtur. 🙂 Reply Day 1. Rent a driver from Colombo International airport that takes you to Kandy (2,5 hours). Spend the night in Kandy. If possible see the Tooth Temple in the evening. Yes, you can easily get from Colombo to Ella in one day. The train trip takes about 9 hours. It seems like there are three government-run Sri Lankan Railways express trains each day: Thanks for sharing so many useful details on this blog. I am planning to maldives for my honeymoon, and thinking to take a stop over at SriLanka for two nights. Can you please suggest which is the best location (other then colombo, as we are avoiding beaches in SriLanka, due to our onward journey to beaches only) to stay over and enjoy a good time. You can read about Nuwara Eliya here: https://nerdnomads.com/nuwara-eliya. Nuwara Eliya is only a 10-15 min tuk-tuk/ taxi ride from Nanuoya train station.

My wife and I are planning to do the expo rail from colombo to ella. In your trip from Ella to Kandy did the train make stops along the way? If so did it stop long? If not did you mind being closeted in for 7 (in our case 9 straight hours)

Another question, I was planning to get a car from Colombo aitport straight to Sigiriya after arriving, but now we will have to probably go the the Colombo Fort station. Thanks for a great read and some amazing pictures. Could I ask you what time of year you went? Also, what camera did you use for your pictures? Elephant Stables is a beautiful little hotel in a colonial style bungalow about 10 minutes drive away from Kandy center. There is a lovely pool and a nice view overlooking the green valley. It's a small intimate hotel where every guest is taken care of and made to feel exceptionally welcome. It is somewhat expensive but if it's within your budget then this comes highly recommended. There are plenty of nice beaches on the south-west coast of Sri Lanka. We really liked Mirissa Beach and Tangalle Beach. Mirissa is more lively and has more people, while Tangalle is more pristine with not many people. You can not go swimming in Tangalle, however, due to heavy underwater currents. So probably Mirissa area is better for your children if they`d like to go swimming: https://nerdnomads.com/beach-paradise-mirissa January: 2nd / 3rd, 7th / 8th, 9th / 10th, 14th / 15th, 16th / 17th, 21st / 22nd, 23rd / 24th, 28th / 29th, 30th / 31st.
