Book Train Tickets Online in Sri Lanka – The Smart Choice for Travelers

Planning to explore Sri Lanka by train? It’s one of the most scenic and memorable ways to travel the island — from the lush green hills of Ella to the golden beaches of the south coast. But if you're trying to book train tickets online in Sri Lanka, you’ve likely already discovered how complicated and outdated the process can be.

That’s where we come in.

At CCT Sri Lanka, we make it easy for foreign travelers to book train tickets with confidence. The reality is that many of Sri Lanka’s train routes still rely on manual reservation systems. First class, second class reserved, and observation deck tickets are often not available through official websites. Schedules can be unclear, online payments may fail for international users, and seat availability is often unreliable — unless you have someone on the ground.

When you book train tickets online in Sri Lanka through us, you’re not relying on an automated website. We physically go to the train station and reserve your seats in person. It may sound old-fashioned, but it’s the most reliable way to secure confirmed tickets on popular routes — especially on high-demand journeys like Kandy to Ella, Colombo to Galle, or Jaffna to Colombo.

First, Second, or Even Third Class? We've Got You Covered.

Whether you're looking for first class or second class, the price difference is minimal. As of May 2025, it’s typically around 1,000 LKR — about 3 US dollars. If you prefer first class, you can note that during the online booking process. If you prefer second class, let us know that too. And if both options are fully booked and you're still open to third class with a reserved seat, we’ll do our best to secure it for you — just let us know.

If We Can’t Book It, You Get a Full Refund

In rare cases — especially during peak travel seasons — even we may not be able to secure a ticket. If that happens, we will fully refund your payment, no questions asked.

We’re not a discount agency — we’re a premium service provider focused on delivering reliability, comfort, and peace of mind. Sending someone to the station costs money, but it ensures you get real tickets, real support, and a stress-free experience. We take care of the hard part so you can simply enjoy the ride.

So if you’re ready to skip the long lines, avoid confusing booking systems, and confidently book train tickets online in Sri Lanka, you’re in the right place.
