The train journey to Ella in Sri Lanka is renowned for its scenic beauty as it passes through lush tea plantations, misty mountains, and picturesque landscapes. The train ride from Kandy to Ella is particularly famous for its stunning views. The journey takes around 6-7 hours, depending on the train type and schedule.

The train passes through several iconic spots like Nuwara Eliya, which is known for its colonial architecture and cool climate. Ella itself is a charming town nestled amidst tea estates and mountains, offering opportunities for hiking, waterfall visits, and exploring local culture.

It's advisable to book train tickets in advance, especially if you're traveling during peak tourist seasons. Additionally, opt for a reserved seat in the observation car or first-class for a more comfortable experience and better views during the journey.

Katusu Konda is a peak in the Hanthana Mountain Range in Sri Lanka, located about 14 kilometers from the city of Kandy. Its name means "Lizard's Back" in Sinhala, which aptly describes the shape of the mountain ridge - narrow and sharp like a lizard's spine.

Katusu Konda is a popular destination for hiking and camping, especially among adventurous travelers. The hike to the summit is challenging, with steep slopes and narrow paths, but the breathtaking views from the top are worth the effort. On a clear day, you can see the Knuckles Mountain Range, the University of Peradeniya, Kandy City, Monaragala, Alagalla, and Hunnasgiriya.
