Personally, I think that the train ride from Ella to Kandy is better.

The chance of getting a window seat is many times higher from Ella to Kandy
______________________________

This route is considered on of the most beautiful train journys in the world (according to online reports)

~ 1) reserve your ticket 30 days in advance (I was told this at the ticket counter in Kandy; reserved tickets cannot be purchased at the counter)

~ 2) Buy a 2nd or 3rd class ticket, not 1. class.

First class is more confortable, with air conditioning, but the windows cannot opened.

If you buy a regular ticket on the day you plane to take the train to Ella, there's a 95% chance you'll be stuck in the corridor for the next 3 hours, as the train is (almost) always completely overcrowdedRead more
