Thanks for promoting BEAUTIFUL Sri Lanka to the world stage when Sri Lanka has been underrated for tourism in the recent past after financial melt down. The reality is different and you can see Sri Lanka is still the same wonderful place with so much natural things, best in the world food and mostly so friendly people. Country needs more tourist arrivals 😊
We used Viator, it came to $50 per person for reserved seats in 2nd class 🥴 we did however get the train twice and bought our second lot of tickets from the counter at Nanu Oya to Ella, much cheaper but unreserved (we were lucky and got seats as soon as we got on). You’ll want a reserved ticket from Kandy to Ella as it’s a super long journey without a seat but you might get lucky if you chance it on the day 🙌🏼
THIS IS ALL WRONG! U AND I, A LOCAL, can't buy tickets at normal prices. This is the bane of ordinary life in srilanka. We hope new prez AKD will change all this crazy croockery
I'm so sorry to hear that you got scammed like this. The tickets sell out because scammers like the person you got your tickets from buy out entire carriages and resell the tickets with a hefty markup. Please share the name of the entity that sold you that ticket... I live in sri Lanka and I am disgusted by this kind of behaviour... I do hope you enjoyed your trip though
THE RAILWAY AUTHORITIES KNOW ALL ABOUT IT.! These dirty dealings are what made us vote for a CHANGE. Prez AKD save our country from the entrenched corruption please! ! Please.
@@dunneytravelsPlease purchase your ticket via government websites, government agencies....etc. Private ones might give you some extra comfies but they came with a great cost in return...
@@dunneytravels Please purchase your tickets and do your reservings via government websites and agencies because private third parties might give you some comforts in a rather costly way.
Could have asked couple of people to keep an eye. Theft is rare here. Most of the time people mistakenly take bags or footwear thinking its theirs. @@dunneytravels
most overrated train ride, takes too long, almost takes 11 hours from Colombo to Ella, shame to be a Sri lankan, its the most boring train journey lol, the marketing team must've not been to other beautiful destinations😅

Yes the scammers are operating in collusion with someone in the Railway dept. This is the corruption that makes life terrible for us locals!
Thanks for visit my country ...
We are happy to be here 😊 beautiful country, we have 6 more weeks to travel and explore and many videos 🇱🇰
17000 ? Impossible. Should be a scam.if you have a photograph of that guy please publish it.
It was a reseller company, not an individual seller 😫 it’s way too expensive 😫

@@dunneytravelsit's a dirty SCAM. WHAT THE HELL ARE THE RAILWAY AUTHORITIES DOING? NOTHING! I'm a Srilankan

Happy to be here 🙌🏼🇱🇰 we have 6 weeks in Sri Lanka
Lovely
From Orkney, UK
Thank you 🙏🏼 🇬🇧
17000 is outrageous. Just get a normal unreserved 2nd class ticket. Worse case you can hang out and sit at the door watching the scenery
Yes it was bloody theft! We did consider that, however we had plenty of large bags and plenty of valuable items we didn’t want to leave unattended 😫🇱🇰

It is still the British Railway system and nothing has been charged.
I thought as much 😊
A lot of people on tge steps of the compartment for views but you need to be careful too
May be it is a scam, please share the private tour operator who charged you Rs. 17000, may he authorities are unaware 😮
Thanks bro visit my conutry ❤
