Dambulla, Sri Lanka
Ambewela - Badarawela train ride through scenic Ceylon tea country and mountains
Nuwara Eliya · Sri Lanka
About this experience
The railway around Nuwara Eliya runs towards Ambewela and Badarawela through the emerald slopes of tea estates. From the carriage windows you see mountains, mist and workers picking tea. It is a route for anyone who wants to learn Sri Lanka's tea country by watching it unfold, not by hurrying through.
Mountain air can be cool, so bring a jacket. Misty mornings make the scenery dramatic. Boarding early for a window seat helps photographers.
