Shared ride

No shared van here

We don't run a shared van between Nuwara Eliya and Kandy, and it isn't a route travellers pool either. A private transfer covers it door to door at a fixed price — and for three or more it often works out close to a seat price anyway.

Downhill from Little England, the return to Kandy unwinds the same hairpins — mist lifting off the valleys early on, tea pluckers at work beside the road.
