Train from Kandy to Ella, which side to sit on.

If you cannot secure a seat on the right side, do not worry. Just spend most of your time standing near the open doors in the vestibules between the carriages, where you can easily switch sides to get the perfect photograph.

The left side is still beautiful, but it often faces the steep rock cuttings and mountain walls as the train hugs the hillside. However, the scenery constantly shifts as the train snakes around the mountains.
