Transportation

 

01.  Trains

The railway system in Sri Lanka dates back to the colonial times and covers more than 1.100 miles. 

Trains are more comfortable than the buses and take you through more scenic areas not touched by road.

The main lines are along the west coast, to the east coast and up the hill country.

A must while visiting is the train ride from Kandy to Ella.

02. Buses

        Traveling by bus in Sri Lanka is an inexpensive way to explore the island. Government buses connect even the smallest villages.

        Private or luxury coaches are more comfortable, usually have air conditioning and operate mainly between bigger cities.

03. Self-Driving

While it is great to explore the beaches and hill country with your own transportation it is recommended to have some experience in driving around tropical countries.

04. Tuk Tuk

  

The three-wheelers are the most common vehicles for short or medium trips in Sri Lanka. You can find them at most junctions, in front of hotels & businesses or just hail one on the road by waving. 

      You even can rent a Tuk Tuk for your holiday transportation.

05. Air

Sri Lankan Airlines, the national airline, operates regularly between its main base at Colombo and several major cities in Asia and Europe.
