This was the most convenient way to complete this wonderful journey. You get picked up from your hotel in Kandy and also get dropped off in Ella!
This was a wonderful experience. We were picked up from our hotel in Kandy and transported to Ambewela station. It was an early start due to the damage from cyclone but it was a pleasant experience. They made everything very comfortable.
We had a very disappointing experience with Ceylon Pass in Kandy. We paid around €150 for train tickets that are officially worth about 4,300 LKR, which already feels extremely overpriced. On top of that, their cancellation policy requires 24 hours’ notice, but we only received the relevant travel information 16 hours before departure. This made it impossible for us to cancel in time or arrange transport to the station. We contacted them immediately, but they did not properly address our request for cancellation and refund. The tickets were never used and are still available for pickup at reception. Overall, this felt like a tourist trap and very poor customer service. I would strongly recommend booking train tickets through official channels instead. Would not recommend.
