Fodor’s Travel in a recent article has
rated the train ride through Sri Lanka’s tea country as The Most Beautiful Train Ride
in the world. The article states its review on a portion of what has been stated to be
the most beautiful train ride in the world–the train journey from Kandy
to Nanu Oya (the full train route extends to Ella station).
The
train ride is four hours long and journeys through stunning landscapes of green
and lush tea plantations and mountain views, one of the renowned highlights of
Sri Lanka.
Train
travel opts for more comfortable forms of travel as one can walk around
whenever they wish, sink into some of the delicious cuisines, bump into other
travellers and locals all the whilst listening to music and unwinding as the
landscape goes by peacefully in the vicinity.
Train travel in Sri Lanka is a gorgeous and inexpensive way to see
the country. No trip is more picturesque than the train from Kandy to Ella.
The backdrop is fantastic. One may observe stunning green hills covered
with tea plantations, mountains, lovely old bridges, waterfalls, and small
villages.
An exclusively surreal feeling engulfs you as you stand
in front of the Tudor-style post offices where the mid-afternoon fog rolls in
from the hills. As the gentle mist and cool breeze make you reach for your
sweater, you might forget you’re even in the Lankan isle of paradise.
