Kandy, Sri Lanka
Kandy is Sri Lanka’s second-largest city and one of the most beautiful you’ll
find in all of Sri Lanka. Discover the old colonial buildings that line the
edges of a vast lake in the center, keeping an eye out for exciting wildlife and
unique plants. Plus, the buzzing streets filled with coconut sellers and stalls
are just a stone’s throw away from this fantastic nature.
Don’t forget to pay a visit to the Royal Botanical Gardens, a fantastic tranquil
wilderness in the city, full of a diverse range of plants, trees, and flowers.
As you look around, you’ll notice that the mountains and tropical rainforests
are never far away! It’s this proximity that makes Kandy a great jumping-off
point for day trips.
Head back to Kandy to catch the most beautiful train ride in Sri Lanka. This
long train ride is one of the top things to do on any Sri Lanka route, taking
you through stunning rolling hilltops, rainforest, and luscious green tea
plantations. Hang out the door with the wind in your hair and feel the weather
get cooler as you move higher up into the mist and the clouds of the Sri Lanka
highlands. Get Kandy Train Tickets here.

Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka
The train from Kandy goes all the way to Ella, making a few stops on the way.
Get off a little earlier and spend a night in the natural beauty of Nuwara
Eliya, an area famous for tea plantations.
It’s especially well known as being home to the Lipton plantation, one of the
world’s most famous tea growers and exporters! In fact, the history of
colonization here by the English has even affected the architecture, with lots
of English-style bungalows dotted through the fields, giving Nuwara Eliya the
nickname ‘Little England’.

Ella, Sri Lanka
Visit one of the most blissful and natural places in Sri Lanka: Ella. The small

that tower over the town. Stay in a hilltop guesthouse with incredible views,
and use it as a base to climb to Adams Peak, Ella Rock, or the mesmerizing Nine
Arch Bridge. When you’re done hiking, head for one of the many picturesque
waterfall pools for a refreshing dip.
Ella is one of the most beautiful places in the country and an absolute must-do
in Sri Lanka!
