Sri Lanka Railways is preparing to introduce a new accommodation option near Nanuoya Railway Station with the launch of the ‘Odyssey Camper’, a stationary lodging facility built from decommissioned rail equipment.
The camper is constructed using a retired W1-class locomotive, two vintage Indian-built railcars, and a locally manufactured steel carriage. Permanently stationed near the Nanuoya station, the Odyssey Camper will offer overnight stays in a rail-themed setting.
Facilities include a room with a large bed, an attached bathroom, and heating. The accommodation will operate on a bed-and-breakfast basis, with breakfast served at the nearby Nanuoya Railway Bungalow.
The facility is yet to open, with an official announcement on the launch date expected soon. (Newswire)
