Does eSIM work on the Kandy-Ella train?

Yes! The scenic Kandy-to-Ella train route has 4G coverage for most of the journey. You may experience brief signal drops in some mountain tunnels, but overall connectivity is good.

Is Sri Lanka eSIM easier than buying a local SIM?

Does eSIM work on Sri Lanka's southern coast?
