The Sri Lanka rail network is excellent, not to be forgotten are the extraordinarily low fares. The rail network covers most of this beautiful nation's best locations, from lush paddy fields and tea estates to sandy coastlines and rugged out-backs. If you are an avid photographer make sure to explore the most scenic lines, which are; the routes from Kandy to the beautiful tea plantations of Ella, Colombo the commercial hub to coastal Galle and Colombo to Kandy in the central hills. These lines meander along coconut palm framed beaches, lush waterfalls, verdant valleys, long tunnels build by colonists and utterly beguiling scenery you will fall in love with. Beach resorts in Sri Lanka are extremely popular and if you are trying to reach one like The Blue Water Hotel and Spa in Wadduwa, you can take the scenic Colombo to Galle route, and get off at the sunny resort town of Wadduwa, just an hour and a half from Colombo.
