Due to the soil sloping away steeply on both sides, the 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) wide gauge main line between Haputale and Idalgashinna is thought to provide a very attractive perspective. The southern side of the station includes Beragala down to the coast at Hambantota, and the Udawalawa reservoir is clearly visible. The northern side of the station offers views that go past Boralanda and Welimada up to Udupussellawa and Hakgala.

Railway stations Haputale and Ohiya in Badulla District, Uva Province. It is situated at an altitude of 1,615 meters (5,299 feet) above sea level, 8 kilometers (5.0 miles) west of Haputale. Following the track's extension from the Nanu Oya railway station to Haputale in 1893, the station was constructed.

On the railway between Colombo and Badulla, this is station number 68. The railway station is situated on a hill that divides Sri Lanka's southern and eastern regions. As a result, the surroundings are both perpetually foggy and immediately clear. Rainwater from the Idalgashinna railway station accumulates in front of the roof to the Mahaweli river valley and falls to the Walawe river valley, depending on the position.
