Yes, every carriage on the Kandy to Ella train has a toilet. The first class carriages feature western style toilets that are generally kept quite clean. The second and third class carriages have squat toilets. While they are regularly maintained by the staff, the cleanliness can deteriorate during the long, seven hour journey due to the massive crowds, so bring your own toilet paper and hand sanitizer.
Scam Watch: kandy
TukTuk or tour drivers take you to "gem museums" or "government-certified" gem shops. They receive huge commissions (up to 40%) on anything you buy. Prices are inflated 3-10x the actual value.
Men approach tourists near Temple of the Tooth offering to be guides. After the tour, they demand large "donations" or guide fees (5000-10000 LKR).
