[Scenic Sri Lanka Railway Journey] The "Tea Railway" between Kandy and Nuwara Eliya, running through the tea fields, was amazing! 🚃🌿
Sri Lanka's railway route is known as the "world's most beautiful train journey."
The most popular route is the scenic route between Kandy and Nuwara Eliya, which runs through the tea fields!
Riding the train with its trademark blue body, the swaying window spreads out a sea of greenery, tea fields, mountain villages, and the endless blue sky.
The few hours you spend feeling the breeze through the train windows and doors is like a scene from a movie.
It's a valuable experience that allows you to feel the charm of Sri Lanka, the country of tea, with all five senses. 🍃

☑️ The inside of the train has a local feel! Once you get on the blue train, you'll feel like you're traveling✨
☑️ The doors are open, so it's popular to stand and enjoy the spectacular view (but be careful!)
☑️ The deserted tea fields and cute station building that appear along the way are also great photo spots📸
