    I was hoping a train ride was included on the 21 day tour...apparently it is a spectacular scenic ride

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Stelaran Holidays (Pvt) LtdOperatorWritten June 2025

      The train ride through the central highlands of Sri Lanka is one of the most scenic and unforgettable experiences the island has to offer. We would be more than happy to customize your 21-day itinerary to include this beautiful train journey, typically between Nuwara Eliya (Nanu Oya) and Ella, which offers breathtaking views of tea plantations, misty mountains, and lush valleys.

      I was thinking Sept 22 to Oct 12th...how would you fit in the train ride and what would be the added cost

      Ali

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      I was wondering what the weather would be like on these dates

    • Stelaran Holidays (Pvt) LtdOperatorWritten June 2025

      We've planned a scenic train ride on Day 08, from Hali-Ela to Nanu Oya. This route is one of the most beautiful sections of Sri Lanka's railway, offering panoramic views of tea estates, waterfalls, and misty hills. Train Tickets: Included in the tour package. Route: Hali-Ela → Nanu Oya. Duration: Approximately 2 to 2.5 hours. Scenery: Tea plantations, forested hills, misty valleys. There will be no additional cost for this experience as it is already included in your customized itinerary.

      Ali

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      I would like to get the Aug 31st to Sept 20th tour if possible...apparently the weather changes in late Sept to rain

    • Stelaran Holidays (Pvt) LtdOperatorWritten June 2025

      Sri Lanka's weather typically begins to shift toward more rainfall in late September, so your preferred travel dates from August 31st to September 20th are ideal for enjoying the best of the island's beauty and outdoor experiences.
