Sri Lanka's Scenic Train Ride to Kandy

Take a ride on Sri Lanka’s famous Udarata Manike blue train from Colombo to Kandy, and experience one of the most scenic train journeys in the country. Departing Colombo Fort at 8:30 AM, this Sri Lankan train ride takes you through stunning landscapes of lush green hills, tea plantations, and charming villages.

As the blue train winds through tunnels and climbs higher into the mountains, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views that make this train trip unforgettable. Sri Lanka is known for its beautiful train rides, and this route from Colombo to Kandy is one of the best.
