Trains in Sri Lanka
There are some wonderful train rides in Sri Lanka such as
coming down to Colombo with the extremely slow 5.00 a.m. train
from Kandy which stops at pretty every settlement until it
reaches Galle at around early lunch time before heading to
Matara as it's turning point from where it will be going back
straight reaching Kandy at an estimated time of 9 p.m. if
there is no engine failure or other unforeseen event that
even may prevent a full stop and a discomforting journey over
situation.

Going up into the Kandy mountains the train is getting
slower and slower just at the right time when the views
over the valley become absolutely stunning, in particular
when sitting on the left side of the saloon carriage
that leaves the Colombo Fort Railway station at 5.30
p.m.
Ticket reservations are highly recommended due to only
some 20 seats available.

Seeing the famous Castle Rock is always a nice feel
as it means that Kandy is not that far any more and
of course one has to be lucky and fast to catch a photo
shot like that one.
