As the time progresses we get to realize that we have entered the mountainous regions.

When you see the beautiful view from the door or window of the train you will definitely remember the poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost and now realize how difficult it would have been for that person not to stop and admire the beautiful forest and to carry on with his journey.

When the train passes through the Kandy we realise that we are in-between the mountains and have reached a high altitude. You also start to feel cooler and may close your windows. It is very much essential to carry winter clothes in your bag as you may require them for sure from now onwards. The view has become more awesome. You are now carrying your mobile and camera in your hand and capturing the beautiful scenic beauty of the mountains. As you are now in a very high altitude you get to have a view of the valleys below the mountains. There are farms, grasslands and houses which you witness inclined vertically downwards. You get to see the the high mountains touching the clouds. You get to see the tea plantation farms. With the every moment of the train moving upward there is a decline in temperature. You now get to see great depressions with green mountains all around you and also witness several waterfalls. Seeing the waterfall in between the two mountains with the environment full of green trees is definitely a treat to your eyes



Journey to Ella through the remote areas of Sri Lanka, semi- urban areas, dense forests, down the mountains, between the mountains, around the mountains and numerous scenic beauty which refreshes your soul everytime you capture them through your eyes will be the most memorable part of Sri Lanka.

Enjoy your train journey as you are never going to have that kind of experience anywhere.
