A wonderful train trip

You may not be aware that one of the easiest ways to get around Sri Lanka is by train. Not only is it easy, it is also aesthetically pleasing, you will pass a large variety of scenic landscapes from gardens all the way through to coasts. You could even capture some great photos along the way, for example some brilliant photos can be taken on route from Colombo to Galle. Sri Lanka is blessed with two high-end rail services, Expo Rail and the Rajadhani Express. Both are first-class services run by private operators, but attached to regular trains run by Sri Lanka Railways.
