Most Scenic Train Journey. In the mid-morning you are driven to the railway station for one of the most amazing train rides on our planet. You will travel in first class on a train that is scheduled to depart in the late morning – please note that trains are often delayed in Sri Lanka and your guide will stay on top of this. We recommend you get a packed snack from your lodging for this journey. Breathtaking views throughout this 3-hour and 10-minute journey make the train ride a joy for all travelers.

More Incredible Scenery. You will disembark at Ella and stop at a viewpoint with a surreally beautiful view of mountains and valleys and you can break for lunch if you so desire. Now comes yet another incredibly scenic drive as you head to Yala National Park. Yala is Sri Lanka’s most visited National Park, and for very good reason. There is a vast array of wild and avian life in the park, but the star of the show is the largest concentration of the elusive leopard on our planet.

Check-in to your luxurious eco-resort upon your arrival at Yala. This exclusive retreat blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings, offering a unique blend of comfort and wildlife adventure. The resort features individual huts, designed with a rustic yet elegant aesthetic, providing both privacy and panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness. Each hut is equipped with modern amenities and an outdoor private plunge pool.
