5.00Beautiful train ride through fascinating scenery. Stops at nice little stations, and shows something of 'real life'. About 3 hours is totally fine.
Inflated prices but legitimate

5.00The train ride from Ella to Nano Oya is a blast and so scenic, and is something I did not want to miss. It was a real challenge to book directly through SL railways and various local sites, for the specific time I wanted. Definitely a mark up to buy tickets through Viator, but you get the comfort of knowing you have the tickets. A day before the trip, the tour operator contacted me to confirm the time and tickets. Very smooth transaction.
Well arranged trip
