Yes this is considered one of the most scenic train rides in the world. Second class reserved is ideal because you get a guaranteed seat while still enjoying open windows and doors. The route passes through tea plantations, waterfalls, and misty mountains making it extremely photogenic.

Gem Museum Commission ScamVerified
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.

Unofficial Temple Guide ScamVerified
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).
