Sri Lanka's most beautiful sight seeing railway journey... Colombo to Badulla.

A young girl enjoys the train journey during her destination to Bandarawela, one of the Sri Lanka's most beautiful sight seeing locations.

Bandarawela is a pass through railway station in your journey to Badulla from Colombo.

Badulla (Sinhala: බදුල්ල, Tamil: பதுளை), is a major city in Sri Lanka. It is the capital city of Uva Province, Sri Lanka and the Badulla District. Badulla is located 60 km southeast of Kandy, almost encircled by the Badulu Oya (River), about 680 metres (2200 ft) above sea level and is surrounded by picturesque hills and mountains, most of which have tea plantations.
