Kandy to Ella Train Tickets - Reserved Seats - Kandy to Nanu Oya: the shorter highland option

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 523 reviews · from $26Our pick

Review of reserved Kandy to Ella train tickets, covering scenery, seat classes, delivery, timing, price, risks, and practical booking advice.

“So much mark up. Yes we got first class reserved tickets but the cost was 5000 rupees and we paid the equivalent of 27,000 rupees. Talk about mark up Viator, bet the local provider was only paid a fraction of the total as mark up and the rest went to viator. Won't be using this site for any other tickets ever again. Had to chase the local provider for tickets right up until the night before after booking a month in advance. Buy in person at the station instead.”

“We had an amazing day! We were told that there were way less elephants in Hurulu then Minneriya in August. We decided we wanted to go to Hurulu and take the guess. Turns out, we were the only ones in the whole park! The tourguide was amazing and we saw a group of elephants. We watched them for maybe 20 minutes as there was nobody closeby but us. The tourguide answered all our questions and made the whole experience really special. We went to a view point in the park. We saw nobody else except an amazing view. We saw three elephants on the way back and the tourguide made…”

We didn’t follow the main crowd of jeeps which meant we got to see elephants with nobody else around. We were well fed throughout with delicious breakfast and lunch provided and some snacks in the afternoon which was a bonus. We spent the whole day spotting all the different wildlife but the leopards were very difficult to see today until the…”
