Ohiya: A Highland Halt for Hikes and Trains
Ohiya is a small, high railway station on the scenic hill country line, surrounded by forest and cool mountain air. It serves as a quieter gateway to Horton Plains and to lesser known trails and tunnels nearby. For walkers who like solitude, it is a rewarding base.
The area
Perched high in the mountains, Ohiya is often misty and cool, with forest pressing close to the tracks. The station itself is a charming, sleepy stop on the famous hill line.
Walks nearby
Trails lead toward Horton Plains and to spots like the old railway tunnels and viewpoints in the surrounding hills. Some routes are long and remote, so a guide and an early start help.
Getting there
The train ride to Ohiya is itself a highlight, winding through tea country and forest. Bring warm layers, as the altitude keeps temperatures low even at midday.
