Festival weekend in Kandy, then the early train toward Ella Sunday. How early should we actually be at the station - normal early, or festival-crowd early.

Festival weekends spill into Sunday mornings. Be there earlier than a normal hill-country day - platforms fill with people who also slept in Kandy for the season.

Season traffic plans run through late August. Budget queue for tuk chaos at the station forecourt, not just the ticket queue.

If you already have reserved seats, still arrive early to find the right coach without sprinting bags through a crowd.
