The Kandy to Ella rail line is one of the world’s consistently cited great train journeys – not for its speed or luxury, but for the landscape it passes through and the pace at which it passes through it. Reserved seats on the scenic side are pre-arranged by Ceylon Breaze and the specific moments worth watching for are the first tea estate climb out of Kandy, the waterfall visible from the window above Ramboda and the Nine Arch Bridge approach into Ella.
