📸• @nadineyelovich Two years ago I watched a video of this exact train ride and have been dreaming about it ever since. For 7 hours I did nothing but hang my head out the window and marvel at the view. Now I understand how Kandy to Ella is known as the most scenic train ride in the world 🚞 ❤️ #ellasrilanka #ellatrain #srilanka (at Ella, Sri Lanka) https://www.instagram.com/p/B523b1sBqRY/?igshid=33qq106o4t09

The blue train. The train journey from Kandy to Ella is today, a rite of passage for any traveler who visits Sri Lanka. As it chugs along on its seven-hour-long journey across paddy fields and through tunnels, you get a door-side view of the high hills and lush green tea plantations. It wasn’t always so though. It was built when the British transported tea from the hills of Kandy to the capital. What initially started as a 50 odd km rail line in 1864, has, today, expanded to over 1,500 km that runs through hills, along the coasts, and through villages across the country. There is something magical, and risky about hanging out of a moving train. It felt refreshing, as every turn along the journey was an opportunity to experience and appreciate an ever-changing landscape. Lush green paddy fields in small towns gave way to high hills with trees that towered even higher. As the train slowly snakes its way uphill and takes yet another turn, views of misty covered hilltops and stations would greet us, while tea pickers would stop work in the tea plantations, for just a few moments, to smile and wave back at delirious passengers trying to capture their photograph. Now, if this isn’t a journey that is pure unadulterated joy, then what is. _________________________________________ @nofixedaddrs #nofixedaddrs _________________________________________ So Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 #SoSriLanka #VisitSriLanka _________________________________________ ………. ……... …….. ……. …… ….. …. … .. . #ellatrain #ellasrilanka #outsidethetrain #trainphotography #trains #travelbytrain #knowSL #mustbeSriLanka #exploreSriLanka #travelsrilanka #lovesrilanka #amazingsrilanka #srilankadiaries #srilankatourism #feelsrilanka #srilankatravel #srilankatoday #srilankadaily #slbloggers #thisissrilanka #igersella #igerssrilanka #ig_srilanka (at Sri Lanka) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSJuJ_JMyGc/?utm_medium=tumblr

www.travelserandib.com Repost @whatadventures The Iconic Blue Train from Kandy to Ella! 🚂 : There’s no more famous train journey here than the blue train from Kandy going south towards Ella. As the train climbed higher, we experienced incredible views of the vast tea plantations, open fields, rivers and cool weather. 🍵 : These were one of the things on our “To Do List” and we are glad we finally got this ticked off! It’s an experience worth taking. Locals mostly take this train to commute to work with friends mainly because of the views and of course it being “very photogenic”. 📸 : There were also food sellers that kept hopping on to the train and selling us a wide variety of local fried snacks, some being samosa, vadai cake and an Ulundu donut patty. Too fried but Yummy! 😋 : Also a top tip; if you’re traveling in pairs, take turns to sleep whilst one of you keeps your luggage safe. Just saying! People are desperate. : Have you been on this train? What was your experience like? 🚊 : #travel #travelcouple #trainride #ellatrain #ella #kandy #teaplantation #travelphotography #beautifuldestinations #experience #explore #adventure #srilankatravel #srilankatrip #srilankaDaily (at Train Kandy-Badulla/Ella) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQoFuf0pYRX/?utm_medium=tumblr
