A Fairy-Tale Journey on Sri Lanka's Tea Garden Train
π The Origins of the Tea Garden Train The tea garden train in Sri Lanka is a "legacy" left over from the British colonial period in the 19th century. At that time, the British built this railway through the mountains to transport tea and coffee. Today, it is not only a means of transportation but also a dreamy path leading to a fairy-tale world! π π The Story of the Tea Garden Train This railway is about 150 kilometers long, starting from Kandy, passing through Nuwara Eliya, and finally arriving in Ella.
