Yes taking the train specifically from Ambewela station to Ella is a phenomenal brilliantly scenic idea. Ambewela is the absolute highest altitude railway station in Sri Lanka sitting right in the middle of misty green dairy pastures.
By boarding at Ambewela instead of Nanu Oya you skip the initial crowded section and get to experience the train winding perfectly down through the massive spectacular cloud forests of the Horton Plains border before reaching Ella.
Scam Watch: ella
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.
