How do I book tickets for the Kandy to Ella train ride?

Train tickets, especially for the scenic Kandy to Ella route, sell out fast. We handle all pre-bookings (1st or 2nd class reserved) for our guests to ensure a guaranteed seat.

What should I pack for the Sri Lankan hill country?

The hill country is much cooler than the coast. We recommend packing a light jacket, comfortable hiking shoes, and long trousers for the evenings in Nuwara Eliya and Ella.
