Itinerary

Admission included

Ella Train Journey is considered as one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world. Due to the repair works of train track, now train starts from the Ambewela station. Which is located close to Nuwaraeliya. It creates very beautifully, green scenery from the moment you start the journey till you reach the end. The train travels among the hill areas/mountains, tea estates, over the rivers & waterfalls, etc. Train is operating daily and what you receive is the ticket from Ambewela to Ella with reserved seats (Seat number is printed on the ticket) Tickets will be allocated from 2nd or 3rd class reserved coaches depending on the availability. There is no much difference between the two classes as both comes with openable windows where you can enjoy the best of the scenic journey. Only the passengers with reserved seats are allowed to travel in this train and no standing passengers. Therefore train is not getting crowded as the ordinary coaches with unreserved seats.

Amazing train Experience

The process is easy, after the purchase they text you in one day. Tickets arrived the day before and the trip went good even if it was in flood days. The communication with Nalin has been easy and professional.

Advisable and Safe

After several days trying to get tickets for the Ella train without success, we found Mahaweli Tours & Holidays and it was the best decision. We want to make a special mention of Nalin, who was always attentive, responding quickly and explaining each step of the process to us with total clarity. Thanks to him we were able to enjoy one of the most anticipated experiences of our trip. It is true that the price is higher than the official one, but in exchange you have the peace of mind of getting the tickets when they seem impossible to find. As a minor detail, we were assigned separate seats, although once inside the train we were able to solve it easily with other passengers. Highly recommended.

Fair and transparent booking service

They booked reserved tickets for us when these were no longer available in the official site. I assume they track cancellations etc. It's not a cheap service but they were transparent and fair all along the way, and eventually were able to book the tickets for us, which enabled a great experience for us.
