What gauge is the Kelani Valley Line?

It is a relatively undiscovered experience compared to the Hill Country or Coastal lines, and appeals particularly to travellers interested in Sri Lanka's narrow-gauge railway heritage.

Sri Lanka Railways publishes timetables on its official website. Timetables are subject to change, so checking closer to your travel date is advisable. Station staff at Colombo Fort can also provide current departure information for KV Line services.
