Polonnaruwa is another option, but then you should probably spend a night there as the drive takes about 4 hours from Kandy each way. The train trip from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya is great and could be an option. This train trip takes about 3,5 hours. Take the train from Kandy to Nanuoya, and take a tuk-tuk or taxi from Nanuoya train station to Nuwara Eliya town (20 min). The train goes through green and lush tea plantations. Nuwara Eliya is also a nice little town. And believers, we have a secret on this train… The Hobo is travelling with you! He’ll show you his meaning of Christmas and the word Believe, From Ella to Colombo (I’ll do the full trip in one day :S ) which one is the most scenic side to sit on the train? 🙂 Right or Left?It may be pint-size, but Bryson City, the departure point for this rail-riding adventure, is rich with local gems like barbecue joints, a soda fountain and a brewery. Various routes originate here, but the four-and-a-half-hour Nantahala Gorge excursion is a scenery-serving star, snaking along the forested Nantahala River and crossing the Fontana Lake by bridge. Foliage lovers take note: The leaves here arebreathtaking during the fall. You can however also travel first class, second class and third class (these are cheaper). Yes, this train runs every day, maybe even two times a day if I remember correctly. The journey takes 7 hours.

The whole train trip with ViceRoy II takes about 9-10 hours, but you can book whatever stretch you want, and you don´t have to do the whole train route.Elephant Stables is a beautiful little hotel in a colonial style bungalow about 10 minutes drive away from Kandy center. There is a lovely pool and a nice view overlooking the green valley. It's a small intimate hotel where every guest is taken care of and made to feel exceptionally welcome. It is somewhat expensive but if it's within your budget then this comes highly recommended.

We really like Tangalle Beach, as we like more relaxed and not so busy beaches. Unawatuna is smaller and more crowded with tourists. We have not been to Hikkaduwa beach, unfortunately. Tangalle Beach is not ideal for swimming, however, so in that case, Unawatuna is better. Day 3. Take the train from Nuwara Eliya (the train station is called Nanu Oya) to Ella. This is the most spectacular part with an amazing view over the green and lush tea plantation landscape.
