Hey Gabriel – your route sounds awesome. The transport varies from city to city. Colombo – Kandy can be done by bus. Kandy – Dambulla – Eliya by train. From Eliya – Mirissa I’m not sure I’m afraid. You might consider going onto Ella from there are it’s a bigger town (and also my favourite place in Sri Lanka!) so better transport links. Mirissa – Galle can be done by tuk tuk or by bus. Galle – Colombo can be done by bus or taxi. And yes, you can easily flag down a tuk tuk any time, and you can also arrange trips in advance with any friendly tuk tuk driver you meet (they’re all friendly). Hope that helps!

I’m planning to spend 1 week in Sri lanka with my GF and my main route would be Colombo – Kandy -Dambulla – Eliya – Mirissa – Gale – Colombo. Can you tell me where can I find information about the transports between those cities? I’m guessing after being there I can hire a tuk-tuk right?

Thank you!

Hi Mante! I always was with my partner, Luke, in Sri Lanka. However, all of the homestays were very safe and the families were very friendly. I would be happy staying with them as a solo female traveller also :)

A very helpful article, many thanks! I am planning my trip to Sri Lanka soon, is it safe to travel there and stay in homestays as a female solo traveller?

Thanks for all these great and helpful tips. We are going in Sri Lanka in a month on a honeymoon trip and we had in mind a very similar route. The thing is we have 2 weeks only and we really want to spent 5-7 days on the beach
Do you have a recommendation what we could skip from your itinerary to fit our schedule?
Thanks a ton,
Adil

Hey Denis. I completely agree, Weligama is perfect for beginner surfers. We also only had one full day at Weligama and wished we’d had more time to spend there!
