How to book train tickets from Colombo to Ella online.

To book train tickets from Colombo to Ella online, you must use the official Sri Lanka Railways website at seatreservation.railway.gov.lk. Tickets for reserved first class and second class seats open exactly 30 days before the date of travel at 10 AM local Sri Lanka time. Because this is one of the most famous train journeys in the world, tickets sell out within minutes. You must create an account beforehand, be logged in, and refresh the page right at 10 AM. If you miss the online tickets, you can still buy unreserved third class tickets at the station on the day of travel.
