Additional Information

Initially, we’ll arrange for your pickup from your hotel in Kandy and transport you to the train station. There, our driver will handle your luggage and await your arrival at the Nuwaraeliya station. They will then accompany you on a tour of the city. Ultimately, we will ensure your transport from the town of Nuwara Eliya to the city of Ella in our vehicle.

We promise to secure either 2nd class or 3rd class train tickets for your tour.. This is due to the majority of local agents blocking out the tickets, sometimes leaving us unable to secure any for you. If there are no tickets left, you may be required to pay a little extra to secure a 1st class ticket. The cost per person for the ticket - 20$.

If no tickets are available, we can offer to transport you from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya in our vehicle, with the train journey from Nuwara Eliya to Ella to follow. This journey provides equally mesmerising views. No additional charges are applicable for this mode of transport.

If tickets are entirely unavailable, we promise a 100% refund on the amount paid by you.(Price includes 3rd or 2nd ticket for 1 passenger)

Fantastic experience - The trip was very well arranged, we were promptly picked up from our AirBnB in Kandy and driven to Nuwara Eliya. The train ride from Nanu Oya to Ella was fantastic. Very kind and overall a fantastic experience. Would recommend anyone to do this

Great trip - Holiday Walkers Sri Lanka took care of the train tickets. They picked us up at our hotel and dropped us at the correct track. Train ride was just magnificent! In Nuwara eliya, Sanjaya from Holiday Walkers Sri Lanka greeted us and guided us around Nuwara eliya, he showed us the post office and other sites and then took us to the beautiful Nine Arche Bridge which isn‘t that easy to find. Sanjaya even helped us in bargaining for the price of tuk tuk for the nine arch bridge. All around very friendly, forthcoming and well organised. Great day and highly recommended!

Great Trip - It was really good trip. The guide (Sanjay) made me feel safe and comfortable the whole time. I appreciate how the organizer went the extra mile to get me the train ticket as they were sold out. It is a "must do" trip.
