About TrainsLanka.lk
Plan the journey. Enjoy the ride.
TrainsLanka.lk makes exploring Sri Lanka by train simpler — from finding the right route to understanding what the journey will actually look like.
Built independently for travellers who would rather spend their time watching the coastline, mountains and villages go by than piecing together railway information from scattered sources.
Why it exists
Sri Lanka is best discovered from a train window.
Some of Sri Lanka's most memorable journeys are measured in hours, not kilometres.
But planning those journeys can still mean jumping between timetable pages, old screenshots, social posts and uncertain information.
TrainsLanka.lk brings the useful parts together in one place — routes, stations, journey information and practical guidance — so you can spend less time figuring out the railway and more time enjoying the journey.
Built around the way people actually travel
Simple routes
Find practical station-to-station journeys without having to decode complicated railway information.
Useful information
See the details that matter when deciding how and when to travel.
Honest about uncertainty
When information may change, we say so. Always confirm important details at the station before travelling.
A personal project
Built by someone who wanted a better way to plan a train trip.
TrainsLanka.lk is an independent project, maintained with the goal of making Sri Lankan railway information easier to understand and easier to use.

Important to know
Independent, not official.
TrainsLanka.lk is not affiliated with Sri Lanka Railways. Timetables and operational details can change, so travellers should confirm critical information at the station or through official railway channels before departure.
