Ella Train Trips

It was awesome experience this train journey. You can enjoy full nature through out the journey. One thing I must tell I booked all the train tickets and 2 car booking from Bookaway app for Sri Lanka trip. Try to buy panoramic train tickets for Ella to Kandy or Nuwara Eliye wherever you are going.

Nanaoya Train station near Newara Eliya to Demodora Train Station just after Ella via the 9 Arch Bridge You need to stay on this train past Ella (one stop) to Demodora as this then goes over (and stops on) the famous nine arch bridge. But that is at the end. The entire journey, with probably an average speed of twenty miles an hour, is utterly stunning. You will take hundreds and hundreds of photos as there are countless beautiful views. It's high, so its not too hot. We were booked in first class, nearly a mistake as although air conditioned you cannot open the windows and taking snaps through smeary windows is not ideal but fortunatley for us a door was open to the outside on one side and I spent much of the journey filming and snapping directly outside (please be careful, one poor lady, clearly trying for the ultimate social media photo, leaned right out of the train and hit a rock and was sadly killed, not on our train but on the same say we travelled) there are countless amazing photo opportunities without having to lean right out. Once in a life time opportunity and highly recommended.

This was a once in a lifetime experience! We travelled from Kandy to Ella and it was a whole lot of fun! Make sure you book the air conditioned car ticket as it gets very hot in a very long train ride!! Grab a window seat, enjoy the views and make sure you have plenty of cash to pay for snacks, knicks knacks and drinks that are provided by hawkers and locals at every stop coming on to the train - don’t be shy, get amongst the food, it’s beautiful and support the locals :)

Everyone should try this at least once. The train ride from Kandy to Ella is so beautiful, especially if you get a window seat in 2nd class. It's a 7-hour journey through tea plantations, jungle, and mountains, going up to the green highlands with tea farms, cute villages, and waterfalls. Don't miss it!

What a beautiful scenic journey from Nuwara Eliya to Demodara via Ella 😍 Just enjoyed the journey of about 3 hrs. It was out of the world experience - passing on 9 Arch bridge .. everything was amazing 🤩

Some of our friends were very exited to go on the world famous Ella Train. We went to railway station to book a seat. They said all seat reservations are sold out. We were very disappointed. Then we returned back to the hotel we were staying. We saw one of the travel agency person deliver some tickets to foreigners who were staying at the same hotel. We spoke with him. He said that he is from Ella Train Trips and have come to deliver some train tickets for some guests. We told him that we are very interested ingoing on the Ella Train, But could not get tickets for the next day. He informed us that he will check with the agency and get back to us in few minutes time. Then in few minutes after he informed us that he could book us seats in 3 class reserved seats. We try to pay him but he refused to take money as the company policy was to first deliver the tickets and then get the payments. He went back and came back in less than half an hour with our tickets. Thanks to Ella Train Trips our dream of going on the world famous Ella train become a reality. Thanks Ella Train Trips for great service. It was amazing.
