Overview

Begin your day with a morning pick-up from your Kandy accommodation. Travel in air-conditioned comfort through the rising hills toward Nuwara Eliya, with a first stop at the stunning Ramboda Falls. Later, visit the Damro Tea Factory to explore tea production and enjoy a guided tour of the estate.

Arrive at Nanu Oya Railway Station in Nuwara Eliya, where you’ll board the train for the journey’s scenic highlight. With reserved seats secured in advance, you can relax and enjoy the ride without worrying about tickets.

From your train window, watch emerald tea plantations cascade down hillsides, misty valleys reveal hidden waterfalls, and the charming architecture of hill country stations pass by.

In Ella, your private driver will meet you and take you to the iconic Nine Arch Bridge. Capture breathtaking photos of trains crossing this engineering marvel set amidst lush jungle surroundings.

Next, take a rewarding climb up Little Adam’s Peak. The well-maintained trail leads to panoramic 360° views of the highlands—a perfect spot to appreciate the region’s natural beauty.

Enjoy some leisure time in Ella town for lunch at a local restaurant before beginning your comfortable return journey to Kandy by private vehicle, arriving back at your hotel in the evening.
