Getting motion sickness on the winding train to Ella.
Does the train rock violently in the mountains. Should I take medication beforehand.

1 Answer from travellers
The train ride from Kandy to Ella winds through steep mountain passes, meaning the train constantly sways, rocks violently side to side, and jolts forward as it climbs. If you are highly prone to severe motion sickness, sitting in an enclosed, air conditioned first class carriage facing backwards can definitely trigger nausea. Taking a standard motion sickness pill an hour before boarding is a very smart precaution to ensure you enjoy the beautiful scenery.

People outside stations offer to "help" buy tickets but charge large markups. They may buy cheap third-class tickets and sell as more expensive classes.
