During a trip through Sri Lanka, one of the social media content creators saw an impressive view of the Indian Ocean from the train window, which surprised him.
It is noted that although people often travel to the mountains, the journey to the destination itself can be incredibly scenic. A train ride allows one to see many natural beauties such as waterfalls, rivers, and mountains. A special moment was recently captured by one of the travel content authors during his trip through Sri Lanka.
The content creator shared a video that caused a sensation on social media. While traveling by train, one usually sees forests, open fields, and old houses, but in the video published by this author, magnificent sea views from the train can be observed. During this trip, the landscapes were so stunning that it was impossible to look away.
The author shared impressions of the train journey from Colombo Fort to Galle in Sri Lanka, which he compared to a dream. Along the entire route, magnificent beaches and the Indian Ocean unfolded before him. It was quite surprising that one could observe the rising waves of the Indian Ocean while sitting on the train.
Sharing the video, the author wrote that he did not expect such a train journey. He noted that for a small amount of dollars, one can take a trip from Colombo to Galle and enjoy the view of the Indian Ocean right from the window. He also mentioned that if heading to Mirissa, one can go towards Matara.
Speaking about the trip, he specified that this train departs from Colombo Fort, passes through Mount Lavinia, Kalutara, Hickaduwa, and ends its journey at the final station of Matara. The trip from Colombo Fort to Galle takes approximately two to three hours.
The most striking thing for the author was how affordable the ticket for this three-hour journey is. In his post, he stated that the third-class ticket costs about 240 LKR, equivalent to approximately 69.16 rupees. The second-class ticket costs about 500 LKR, or 144 rupees.
Providing information about this trip, the author gave several useful tips. He advised buying tickets at the station and sitting on the right seat when traveling in the southern direction. Furthermore, if you wish to sit by the window, you should manage to sit down before the movement begins.
