Which side of the train has the best views from Kandy to Ella?

Ravana Tour Specialist August 27, 2026

For the best views, choose the right side of the train going from Kandy to Nanu Oya. Then move to the left side when you travel from Nanu Oya to Ella.

As the train heads up into the hills, the scenery changes a lot. Both sides show beautiful village life and natural landscapes. This seating arrangement helps you see the steep drops into valleys and the wide tea fields that cover the area.
