Adventure Railway journey in Sri Lanka
By train, a small narrow-gauge railway with nostalgic old Thyssen Henschel Diesel locomotive built in the year 1979 in Kassel Germany we drive through narrow tunnels, passing the big tea plantations of Nanu Oya by Bandarawela. The highest point of the mountain range is 1898 meters. I can sit in the Diesel locomotive beside the engine drivers. The train consists of two passenger and four freight waggons. But proper railway nostalgia will not rise by the passengers, therefore a steam engine would be necessary.
Itinerary:
Colombo -> Wattala -> Negombo -> Mihintale (walking) -> Anuradhapura -> Sigiriya (climbing up stairs) -> Polonnaruwa -> Dambulla -> Kandy -> Pinnawela (Elephants orphanage) -> Nuwara Eliya -> Horton Plains (hiking) -> Nanu Oya (train tour) -> Bandarawela -> Ella -> Tissamaharama -> Yala Nationalpark (Safari) -> Mirissa -> Kogalla -> Galle -> Colombo |
