Sri Lanka has an abundance of natural beauty. Among its most famous attractions are Sigiriya and the Kandy-Ella train ride, which has often been called the most beautiful in the world. If you like rice and curry, then you’re going to love Sri Lanka even more.
Helga’s Folly is a hotel / acid trip located in the mountains surrounding Kandy, Sri Lanka. It’s owned by Helga De Silva Blow Perera, a Sri Lankan socialite and eccentric who started painting on the walls of the hotel as a form of therapy after going through a traumatic divorce.
I’m not an authority on scenic train rides but one thing’s for sure, this was absolutely the most beautiful train ride that I have ever been on. If you heed Lonely Planet’s advice and visit Sri Lanka for the first time in 2019, then you absolutely need to go on this train ride.
