Central Province

Nanu Oya

A small highland railway town and the gateway to one of Sri Lanka’s most scenic train journeys.

Nanu Oya is where many travellers board the iconic hill-country train towards Ella and Demodara. Its misty setting, close to Nuwara Eliya, makes the transfer feel like part of the experience rather than simply a connection.
