The kandy to Ella train was amazing- a must in Sri Lanka. The journey felt so much quicker as there was so much beautiful scenery to look at! Great service and was kept well informed of how we would get the tickets, which were delivered to the hotel the day before. Highly recommend!

Loved everything. Only suggestion is I would inform people to be sure to hold on to their ticket when exiting the train as they check them before you leave the station. I did not know this and my ticket was left on the train when I got off at my stop.
