Waiting at the Great Western Railway Station on the NANUOYA HATTON leg of Srilanka Railway TRAIN Part 2

            The sun is shining, the clouds are lazily drifting across the blue sky. It's a picturesque scene, but let's be honest - waiting at a railway station can be a bit of a bore. 

Embarking on a train journey through the picturesque landscapes of Sri Lanka is an experience that promises to leave you much in awe with a medium level of comfort. The train stations in Srilanka do not bustle or should I say  "are overcrowded",  like they are in India.

As you step into the bustling train station, anticipation builds for the adventure that lies ahead. Srilanka is known for its train journey through the hills of the island nation. It is a scenic route that takes you through lush tea hills and offers breathtaking views of the vibrant greenery against the backdrop of a clear blue sky.

The journey itself is filled with thrills as the train winds its way through tunnels and over bridges, offering glimpses of cascading waterfalls and charming villages along the way. The rhythmic clatter of the tracks adds to the charm, creating a sense of nostalgia and tranquility.

The tea hills, which stretch as far as the eye can see, are a sight to behold. Their emerald hues paint a vivid picture against the bright blue sky, creating a visual feast for nature enthusiasts and photographers alike. The cool breeze that sweeps through these hills carries with it a hint of freshness and serenity.

As you soak in this enchanting landscape from your comfortable seat on board, it becomes evident why this train journey is considered one of Sri Lanka's most captivating experiences. Whether you are seeking solace in nature's embrace or simply yearning for an escape from everyday life, this journey promises to transport you to a world where time slows down and beauty surrounds you at every turn.

So sit back, relax, and let yourself be captivated by the green hills and blue skies of Sri Lanka and quaint train stations like "Great Western" as the vistas unfold before your eyes during this unforgettable train journey.

Great Western Railway Station lies between Nanu Oya and Hatton. People on the single platform of the station wait patiently for their train. There is no hurry here.

So next time you find yourself waiting at a railway station like Great Western Station in Sri Lanka, don't despair. Embrace the downtime and make it an opportunity for some much-needed relaxation or unexpected adventures. After all, life is what happens when you're stuck waiting for your train!
