Do it yourself:
  • The train is BY FAR the best way to get around Sri Lanka on a budget.  The busses are overpacked and much less pleasant
  • The most beautiful route runs between Kandy and Ella, though the rest are beautiful too
  • Check the routes and times to get an idea of when to go.  I had no problem simply showing up and buying a ticket.  That said, they oversell more tickets than there are seats in the second and especially third class, so be prepared to stand if need be
  • Second class was perfectly comfortable and a great option. First class and the observation car and reserved seating tends to sell out up to two weeks in advance
  • Don’t worry about bag storage. There is ample room
  • Buy tickets directly from the ticketing office at the train station, and hold onto your tickets. They will be collected when you leave the terminus station
  • Feel free to bring your own food, but give the snacks and drinks on board a try. They’re delicious!

Cool Hotels: Galkadawala in Dambulla, Sri Lanka


WILD ELEPHANTS!!!!!!!!!!- Dambulla (Yala national park)

Do it yourself:
  • If in Dambulla, ask your guest house or hotel to organize transport for you to get to the area with jeeps (or they may be able to hire one for you) in order to visit Minneriya National Park
  • Total cost for a day’s driver was $50 and park entrance was $20 per person
  • If visiting Yala National Park, choose either a half or full day safari, again organized through your guest house
  • Total cost for a half day safari was $50 including Yala National Park entrance fee
  • In both parks, a Jeep is highly necessary. The roads are bad and I did not see any other type of car attempting the terrain
