Did you ever travel by train from Kandy to Colombo early in the morning?

If you are a traveler the “Beyond the Sky” experience must have once in a lifetime.

What is this about?

The Kadugannawa pass begins when you travel by train from Kandy to Colombo. After passing the Kadugannawa railway station.

You can see around the area from the top of the mountain when the train travels a few kilometers towards Colombo. This site is a breathtaking view with there are many of clouds. And far away over the sky the Bible Rock and the Sardiyel Rock can be seen above the clouds.

as well as in the ground, the paddy fields and the green forest is fascinating and the few villages can be seen through the jungle.

Can this be sited anytime in the day?

Of course, the answer is NO!!!

As a matter of fact, this beautiful scenery can only be seen in the morning and should have to take a train departed from Kandy early in the morning. Eventually, the clouds disappear with the sunrise.

There are only three trains from Kandy to Colombo early in the morning.

The very first train to Colombo is departing from Kandy railway station at 5 ‘O clock.

In addition, there is an Intercity express train to Colombo at 6.15 a.m from Kandy railway station. This is a good choice as it is not a crowded train. You can have a lot of space to take photos and enjoy the view.

However, there is another train leaving at 6.20 a.m. It is also a normal train and cannot be guaranteed about the crowd.

Is it worth to see?

Yes, of course, it is worth to see. This is the only hill country railroad in Sri Lanka. As well as most beautiful scenics can be seen only by traveling on this railway line.

And also there is a bonus in rainy seasons. As the railway line lies in the mountain slopes, then more and more temporary waterfalls can be seen.

Yes, this is the country with lots of wonders. Sri Lanka.
