5.00I had a fantastic experience with the train ticket service! The process was seamless, and I didn’t have to wait in line at all. I was able to purchase my ticket and reserve a window seat, which was perfect for my photography needs. The ticket was sent to me via WhatsApp, making everything convenient and efficient. Overall, the service was excellent, and I’m really grateful for the smooth experience!
Perfect!

5.00Lakpura organised our tickets and our drive from Negombo. Everything worked like clockwork and we were at Colombo Station in plenty of time. The train ride was everything it’s cracked up to be! Relaxing, bumpy, beautiful - arrived into Ella and all its beauty 9 hours later.
