Is it possible to hop on the train at Anuradhapura and take it all the way north to Jaffna?

Yes, absolutely. The Northern Line trains (like Yal Devi) that start in Colombo pass right through Anuradhapura on their way to Jaffna. It takes about 3 to 3.5 hours from Anuradhapura to Jaffna.

The scenery changes dramatically past Vavuniya. The jungle gives way to salt flats and palmyra palms. It is a gorgeous train ride.

Book in advance! When the train arrives from Colombo, it will already be completely full. If you don't have a reserved seat, you will be standing all the way to Jaffna.

Excellent. I will book a reserved seat a month prior.
