For most tourists getting on to a train journey in Sri Lanka is on their bucket list. Sadly, I did not know about the Nine Arch bridge until I reached Sri Lanka. Not to be faxed, I managed to get train tickets, with no reservations. The 3.5 hour ride from Nanu Oya to Demodara rail station was spent standing but the splendid sights—tea estates, farmlands, valleys, waterfalls and several tunnels—took my mind off the uncomfortable journey. As more passengers got off, I was able to get a seat. The train ride is quite slow and the train stops at every station. The railways stations are clean, no litter anywhere and there are roses and other flowers enlivening the space. The train ticket costs Rs 1,000 per person and the ride is very beautiful and memorable. The Nine Arch bridge has tourists putting a leg and an arm out to get pictures of the train with them. It is an exciting train ride as tourists and locals enjoy the journey—whistles pierce the compartment as the train chugs through tunnels. I got off at Demodara station—a quaint old world charming place.ram
