Accepted Answer

Yes, there is a direct train from Colombo Fort to Trincomalee. The most popular option for tourists is the direct night mail train, which leaves Colombo in the evening and arrives in Trincomalee early the next morning.

There are also daytime trains, but the journey takes about 8 to 9 hours. Taking the night train saves you a full day of travel and the cost of a hotel night.

You should try to book a first class sleeping berth on the night train well in advance via the official railway website, as they are very comfortable and sell out quickly.
