Answers
Luxury Train Journeys: questions, answered.
How do I book the scenic Sri Lanka train?+
First-class observation seats are released 30 days in advance and sell out within hours. We secure them on release or book a private vintage carriage as an alternative.
Which is the best train ride in Sri Lanka?+
Kandy to Ella via Nanu Oya — six hours through tea estates, waterfalls and cloud forest. Ella to Demodara is the most photographed stretch.
