Heads up

PickMe is the undisputed transport app for Sri Lanka . use it for tuk-tuks in Colombo to cars in Kandy. Mobile data is inexpensive; grab a Dialog or Mobitel SIM at the airport. Cash is still king in rural areas and small guesthouses.

PickMe

Essential

Sri Lanka's #1 ride-hailing app, covering taxis, tuk-tuks, and logistics across Colombo and major tourist cities.

Pro tip: Choose PickMe Tuk for short city hops . fast, fun, and a fraction of the car fare.

Sri Lanka Railways

Essential

Official app with schedules and route info for Sri Lanka's iconic train network, including the famous Kandy-Ella hill country line.

Pro tip: Book a reserved 2nd class seat weeks in advance for the Ella-Kandy scenic ride . it sells out quickly.

PickMe Food

Nice to have

Food delivery built into the PickMe super-app, covering restaurants in Colombo and major towns.
