Scenic Train Adventure
There’s something inherently romantic and nostalgic about a train journey—watching the landscape roll past, windows open, hair wild with wind. The Scenic Train Adventure captures the timeless allure of travel by rail, weaving through misty hills, colonial towns, golden coasts, and lush jungles. From Kandy’s royal temples to Ella’s emerald cliffs, every stop reveals a new rhythm of Sri Lankan life.
Begin with a visit to Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, then continue to Kandy. Explore the revered Temple of the Tooth and stroll the Royal Botanical Gardens. Overnight in the cultural capital.
Board your first scenic train ride through the emerald hills to Nanu Oya. Arrive in Nuwara Eliya—Little England of Sri Lanka—explore a tea plantation and wind down with a peaceful boat ride on Gregory Lake.
This leg is pure magic: a winding ride over bridges, past waterfalls and into the heart of Ella. Check in and take in the town’s laid-back charm.
Hike to Little Adam’s Peak for panoramic views, then stroll to the iconic Nine Arches Bridge. Enjoy local cuisine, coffee shops, and mountain air.
Stop at Ravana Falls on your way to the wilderness of Yala. That afternoon, set off on a jeep safari—leopards, elephants, and sloth bears await.
Coast down south to the peaceful beach town of Mirissa. Sink your toes into the sand and relax into island time.
Begin your day at sea with a whale-watching tour. Then, hop on the train to Bentota. Visit the Turtle Hatchery and enjoy a serene boat ride on the Madu River.
Your final rail ride brings you back to Colombo. Spend your last night exploring the city’s heritage sites, galleries, and buzzing cafés.
It’s time to say goodbye—carry the rhythm of the rails with you.
