1.00Tickets booked EN had contact with Mahaweli tours a number of times via whatsapp. DE ticket would be delivered to the hotel 1 day before departure at 19:00. At 18:30 I get the message that they have not been able to get tickets. It is already too late to be able to EN cancel DE booking and get your money back, so now we have to wait and see if that will still happen. (Also make sure that your passport number will be on DE tickets if you do get tickets because they check strictly on DE train.) So I would not book with Mahaweli if you want to be sure of train tickets on DE desired day!
Don't book!

1.00We ordered tickets in time from this company because you can't buy tickets yourself, they are bought DEN by companies like this so they can resell it for 5x the price. Still booked, passport details etcetera passed on. Then DE and she said that tickets would be delivered to our hotel, turned out not to be so, we got a pdf'je the dat in advance. Both the starting station and the passport number were incorrect (shown EN complete and DEr local passport number), so were refused at the station and had to buy a new ticket for less than 1 euro instead of the +25 euro tickets. As a result, we were not sitting on a reserved DE seat on the train but we were pressed together in a Third Party coupe. The booked ticket was of no use to us EN except for a lot of stress and a terrible trip
Verry bad
