We were going from ella to Nuwara eliya (Nanu Oya) which would be our next destination 
The "ella odyssey train journey" is a captivating and unforgettable experience that takes travelers through the scenic landscapes of Sri Lanka. The journey starts in Ella, a charming little town surrounded by rolling hills and tea plantations. As the train chugs along the tracks, passengers are treated to panoramic views of lush greenery, cascading waterfalls, and picturesque villages. The rhythmic sway of the train and the gentle hum of its engine create a soothing ambiance perfect for relaxing and taking in the beauty of nature. The Ella Odyssey Train Journey is truly a magical way to explore the stunning countryside of Sri Lanka at a leisurely pace.
