Kandy to Ella
After breakfast, you're heading to Ella, but not without visiting a tea factory on the way. There you'll see how tea actually gets made and try some fresh tea right where it's grown in Sri Lanka's tea estates. The real highlight is the train ride from Nanu Oya to Ella, which is genuinely one of the more beautiful train routes you can take. From your seat, you'll see tea plantations rolling across hills and valleys the whole way. Once you arrive, check in at your hotel, have dinner, and stay the night.
