Temple visits like the Temple of the Tooth are on the itinerary; dress modestly—shoulders and knees covered—and remove shoes when required.
The itinerary includes a scenic 3–4 hour train experience between Nanu Oya and Ella and several road transfers ranging from 1–4 hours depending on the segment and traffic.
