Following the impressive Nine Arches Bridge, the Demodara Railway Loop adds another layer of engineering marvel to Sri Lanka’s scenic hill country. This ingenious feat bypasses a steep incline by creating a 360-degree loop, allowing the train to gain altitude gradually. Completed in 1921, the Demodara Loop stands as a testament to the collaborative effort between British engineers and P.K. Appuhami, a local Ceylonese builder. Today, the loop offers not only a testament to Sri Lanka’s rich railway history but also a breathtaking vista for passengers and onlookers alike. The train’s slow traversal of the loop allows for captivating views of the surrounding lush greenery and distant mountains, making it a highlight for any journey through Sri Lanka’s highlands.
