Dalada Maligawa), one of the most sacred places of worship in the Buddhist world. It was declared a world heritage site
by UNESCO in 1988. But Kandy is also so much more than its number one attraction; it’s a city of delightful chaos, with

Travel to Nuwara Eliya (Train ride) : Travel to Kandy railway station to board the train to Nuwara Eliya. Said to be one
of the most scenic train rides in the world, the Kandy to Nuwara Eliya rail route runs on the original tracks built by the
British in 1864. Originally designed to transport tea and coffee from hillside estates, it’s now an important means of
connecting major cities and a tourist attraction in its own right. The first quarter of the four-hour journey is, honestly, a little
underwhelming. With expectations of stunning views of rolling hills, it’s easy to forget one needs to first get out of Kandy.
Passing the outskirts of the city in itself is quite interesting. Family houses back right onto the tracks and give you a
