How long does the train from Colombo to Galle take.
1 Answer from travellers
The coastal train from Colombo Fort to Galle usually takes between two and a half to three hours. It is an incredibly scenic and affordable journey, as the train tracks run literally meters away from the ocean for a large portion of the trip.
Scam Watch: colombo
Driver claims the meter is broken and quotes an inflated flat rate. Common on arrival at airport or railway stations when tourists are tired and disoriented.
Drivers wearing official-looking uniforms claim to be "government-approved" and charge 3-5x normal rates. They may have fake badges or ID cards.
Women with babies approach asking you to buy milk powder at a nearby shop (not cash). The shop is run by accomplices and charges 5-10x normal price.
