1 thought on “Ella Odyssey Train Schedule”

  1. We were on the Ella odyssey train on 5th April from Badulla to Colombo. Train was bit less crowd but still people were on board including forigners. After Nawalapitiya I noticed some of the cleaners and catering staff having big bash near catering area. They were playing songs very loud and also yelling loud. I don’t know whether this is common occurrence or one time but the atmosphere is so disappointing specially this train is known as key tourist attraction. So as a concern person please make sure to control as key sri lankan icon maintain its sri lankan value
