Good to know before you travel

Timing your departure

Morning departures from Colombo usually run faster than late-afternoon ones, when traffic around Kadawatha and Kegalle builds up. If you are arriving on an international flight, add your flight number when booking so your driver can track the arrival time.

Stops along the way

Many travellers break the drive near Kegalle or Pinnawala. Add the stops you want in the booking notes — drivers price the extra time into the quote, so there are no surprises on the day.

Choosing a vehicle

A sedan suits two travellers with standard luggage. Families and groups with large suitcases are more comfortable in an SUV or van; minibus and VIP classes are available for larger parties.

Continuing your trip

Kandy is a natural base for Ella, Nuwara Eliya and Sigiriya. You can book each leg separately, or request a return transfer back to Colombo when your stay ends.
