    • Aitken Spence TravelOperator•Written March 2025

      We can certainly include a train ride from Nanu Oya to Ella which one of the best scenic stretches. You would be transferred by road to Nanu Oya which is just a 30 minutes' drive from Nuwara Eliya and you will board the train from Nanu Oya to Ella. Your chauffeur guide will pick you up from Ella Railway station and take you to the respective hotel. This way you would not miss out on the tea plantations or the train ride.
