Sri Lanka’s train journeys are among the most scenic in the world, taking you through misty highlands, lush tea plantations, and tropical coastlines. From the iconic Ella line to coastal routes like Colombo–Galle, these trains offer an unforgettable way to explore the island.
However, online booking can be complicated, and reserved seats sell out quickly on popular routes. That’s where CCT Sri Lanka provides a reliable, in-person ticketing service, ensuring you don’t miss your preferred journey.
Whether you are traveling in First, Second, or Third Class, we personally secure your tickets from the station, giving you a smooth and stress-free start to your journey across Sri Lanka.

Vedanth Sameer Rao (verified owner) –
I would recommend CCT Sri Lanka to anyone looking for train bookings in SL. CCT Sri Lanka helped in booking three first class train tickets for me from Colombo to Ahangama. The entire process was seamless. I enquired about tickets and they made sure everything was done perfectly in less than 36 hours. Their services are extremely reasonable priced for the quality that they provide.

Dear Sir, Due to the landslides in Ditwa, direct train operations from Colombo to Ella have not yet resumed. Currently, services are operating between Colombo and Ambepussa, and separately between Ambewela and Ella.
