Badulla to Peradeniya Destination Reviews

KM
Katherine M
Overall, I enjoyed the experience of travelling in the observation carriage, and the views were beautiful. However, the train arrived over 1.5 hours late into Peradinaya despite having left Ella on time. Thankfully, my taxi driver was still waiting for me! The seat leg room was good, but the carriage was old and in need of updating.
