Train Journey from Ella to Kandy / Nanuoya is considered as one of the most scenic train trips in the world. As a result of the recent cyclone and landslides took place in Sri Lanka, rail tracks got badly damaged and train travels upto Ambewela station from Ella. It's very close to Nuwaraleiya / Nanuoya station (Just 02 stops before Nanuoya station) and travelers still can enjoy the most scenic parts of this journey. Reserved seats comes with the pre-printed seat number and customers can board the train and occupy the relevant seat. We generally issue tickets from 2nd class reserved compartments. There is a chance that we may have to issue from other classes (1st class / 3rd class ) as well depending on the demand. If you have any specific class requirement, you can mention it in the booking. Please make sure to mention your passport number and mobile number as they are important. We will not be able to issue tickets unless the passport number is provided.
