Your transfer to Amaya Lake Dambulla

Amaya Lake Dambulla is in Kandalama, 145 kilometres from Bandaranaike International Airport — about 3 hours 15 minutes in normal traffic.

The quoted distance is measured to Dambulla. Kandalama, where Amaya Lake Dambulla is, is about 2 kilometres south-east of the centre, and that last stretch is the part of the drive that varies with the hour rather than with the route. The fare is the same for any address in Dambulla; a car crossing the city at half past four in the afternoon is not making the same journey as one arriving at dawn.

Day trips from Amaya Lake Dambulla

  • Dambulla Royal Cave Temple — about 2 km away in a straight line. Five caves of painted ceilings and 150-odd Buddha statues, cut into the rock above the plain. Usually paired with Sigiriya. Allow 1–2 hours.
  • Sigiriya Rock Fortress — about 14 km away in a straight line. The fifth-century rock citadel, its frescoes and the lion staircase — the single most-visited ticketed site in the country. Allow 3–4 hours.
  • Pidurangala Rock — about 15 km away in a straight line. The rock facing Sigiriya, climbed for the view back at it. A scramble rather than a staircase, and the best photograph of Sigiriya is taken from here. Allow a morning, 2–3 hours.
  • Minneriya National Park — about 31 km away in a straight line. Dry-season grazing around the reservoir draws hundreds of elephants together — "the Gathering", roughly July to October. Allow an afternoon safari.
  • Knuckles Range — about 37 km away in a straight line. A mountain range of cloud forest, grassland and villages that keeps its own weather. Riverston gives the view without a serious hike. Allow a full day.

How this transfer works

One fixed price for the whole car, not per seat. There is no meter, so the figure you are quoted is the figure the booking honours. Give your flight number and the arrival is tracked, so a delayed landing does not cost you the car.

The return leg from Amaya Lake Dambulla is the same journey booked the other way, at the same price, and can be arranged now or later in your stay. Departures want you at Bandaranaike three hours before a long-haul flight, so add the 3 hr 15 min back to that.
