Oh wow, thanks for your kind words and extra advice! I’m glad I was able to provide at least a small amount of guidance, and also glad you tweaked it to suit yourself – that is the perfect way to use these itineraries.

We obviously tweaked it a bit to serve our own preferences/timing, but we used this info so much! It was like our bible! Our main differences were that we didn’t stay in Colombo or Kandy long (couldn’t wait to get out of Kandy, which was surprising), and we stayed in Tangale which had the most amazing beaches. One thing no one in blogs seem to discuss is the Full Moon, and how (vs Thailand), it’s a holiday for everyone and no one works. Trains are crowded and no alcohol is served. We happened to take the Nuwara Eliya train on a full moon and it was SO crowded.

With respect to train ride to Nuwara Eliya and Ella – We didn’t have any trouble buying third class tickets the morning of.

My friend and I are glad we went the same direction you went because it allowed us to have more free time at the beaches, and not feel pressured to leave to make sure we caught the cultural stuff. However, for some it may make sense to do your trip in reverse. The train rides would be a lot less crowded.

Thanks Nancy. I hope you don’t do the train trip the day the trains commench after a ten day strike like we did. It was beautiful but very crowded 🙂

Thanks Kelly. Colombo has probably changed a bit since 1994 – but since we came from India when we visited, I do see what you mean! As soon as we landed I commented that it was so much less chaotic than India.
