The Colombo-Badulla train journey has been ranked the seventh best in the world for 2025 by Lonely Planet, showcasing Sri Lanka’s stunning landscapes and cultural richness.

Spanning over 290 kilometres, this scenic route is known for its breathtaking views of rolling tea plantations, misty mountains and cascading waterfalls. Often referred to as the ‘Ella Odyssey,’ it is a favourite among travellers for its iconic stops at Ella, Nanu Oya and Haputale.

The journey offers an immersive cultural experience, enabling travellers to witness local life as the train passes through picturesque villages. The warm and welcoming communities along the route add to the charm of the adventure.

Operated by Sri Lanka’s railway department, the train runs five times a day, making it accessible to locals and tourists alike. Lonely Planet’s inclusion of this route on its annual list of leading train journeys demonstrates the growing global recognition of Sri Lanka as a ‘must-visit’ destination.

The ranking is also a big win for Sri Lanka’s tourism industry, affirming the country’s commitment to providing unforgettable travel experiences and putting the train route on the map as one of the world’s best.
