Bahntickets von Nanuoya (NuwaraEliya) nach Ella

Resell tickets, you can book the tickets while most of the time there are not any available tickets on short notice. So there is a big chance the booking gets canceled. They do tell you this when you book.

De Ella Odyssey-treinreis (soms Odyssey train genoemd) is een speciale toeristentreinrit in Sri Lanka tussen Colombo Fort en Badulla, en wordt vaak gezien als één van de meest schilderachtige treinritten ter wereld. Als je in Sri Lanka bent is dit een must have! Op tijd boeken in het hoogseizoen. Soms heb je geluk op de dag van vertrek! ????! Goede reis!

The train trip from NanuOya to Ella is enjoyable, winding through so many amazing valleys and mountains. The scenery is spectacular. The train travels quite slow (35kmh max) so you can see a lot. As explained in many places, the train was 30 mins late, but does that matter? Apparently tickets bought online are not distributed till the night of the trip? Accordingly, don’t expect to get what you paid for. We received no communication about this till 1am the morning we caught the train. We went to the trouble to buy 3 x A grade reserved tickets and ended up with 2 A grade seats separate to each other and one B grade ticket. All window seats admittedly. B grade seats are in a carriage with no AC but has small ceiling fans and windows open. In hindsight the seating in 2nd class, where you get airflow from the window is actually quite fun. Expect to breathe in some diesel exhaust fumes but the windows being opened allowed you to see out more. There seemed to be a fair amount of seat shuffling going on too, so you may be able to make your seating work better as the trip progresses.
