Hi James,

Taxi for sure. About 2.5-3 hours drive and around Rs 7,000-8,000 cost.

Train is quite a detour (through Colombo town, with transfer) and would require a small taxi ride to the station first. And bus goes direct but is a lot slower, also due to wait times at Katunayaka bus station and first at the free shuttle bus to the bus station.

All the best,

Thanks for the reply.

Can you do at the pre paid taxi counter at the airport?

Thanks

Hi James,

Yes for sure. Note that it%26#39;s not prepaid anymore but still fixed-price. They write down the price and car number and then a runner from the desk comes with you to the roadside and indicates the assigned car. You pay to the driver, at the end of course (unless he wants a halfway advance in order to purchase fuel which can be reasonable).

All the best,
