What to know

Widely called the most beautiful train journey in the world, and for once the claim holds - seven hours through tea terraces, tunnels and cloud. BOOK RESERVED SECOND CLASS 30 DAYS AHEAD; it sells out and the unreserved carriages are standing room. Sit on the RIGHT leaving Kandy. Fares are cheap but the booking is the hard part, not the price.

When to go

The planner warns of wet in October. Outside those months it says nothing, which is the point — a warning that fires every day is one nobody reads.
