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.
