Your transfer to North Gate by Jetwing
North Gate by Jetwing is in Station Road, 374 kilometres from Bandaranaike International Airport — about 7 hours in normal traffic.
Station Road, where North Gate by Jetwing is, is close to the centre of Jaffna, so the end of the drive is the city itself — the stretch that varies with the hour rather than with the route. The fare is the same for any address in Jaffna, but arriving in the afternoon rush is not the same journey as arriving at dawn.
Day trips from North Gate by Jetwing
- Jaffna & Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil — about 1 km away in a straight line. The northern peninsula — its own cuisine, language and pace, and a kovil that fills for the August festival. Allow two days or more.
- Wilpattu National Park — about 135 km away in a straight line. The largest national park in Sri Lanka, named for the natural sand-rimmed lakes across it. Quieter than Yala, with leopard sightings that feel earned rather than queued for. Allow a full day.
- Anuradhapura Sacred City — about 152 km away in a straight line. The first capital, and a living pilgrimage site — the Sri Maha Bodhi is said to be the oldest planted tree on record. Allow half a day.
- Kalpitiya — about 161 km away in a straight line. A sand peninsula and lagoon system known for spinner dolphin pods, kitesurfing and quiet. Whales pass offshore between December and April. Allow a full day, or stay overnight.
- Trincomalee & Nilaveli — about 168 km away in a straight line. One of the world’s great natural harbours, with Nilaveli and Uppuveli beaches north of town and Pigeon Island offshore. Allow several days.
Onward from Jaffna
- Jaffna to Colombo — 400 km, about 7 hours 30 minutes

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 North Gate by Jetwing 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 7 hr back to that.
