Your transfer to Sigiriya Village Hotel
Sigiriya Village Hotel is in Sigiriya, 152 kilometres from Bandaranaike International Airport — about 3 hours 35 minutes in normal traffic.
Sigiriya Village Hotel is close to the centre of Sigiriya, 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 Sigiriya, but arriving in the afternoon rush is not the same journey as arriving at dawn.
For a sense of the shape of the journey: Sigiriya Village Hotel is about 129 kilometres from the airport in a straight line against the 152 kilometres the road actually covers.
The nearest hotel on this site is Hotel Sigiriya in Sigiriya, a few minutes on foot.
Day trips from Sigiriya Village Hotel
- Sigiriya Rock Fortress — about 1 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 2 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.
- Dambulla Royal Cave Temple — about 16 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.
- Minneriya National Park — about 17 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.
- Polonnaruwa Ancient City — about 26 km away in a straight line. The island’s medieval capital — a compact, walkable ruin field with the Gal Vihara rock Buddhas at its far end. Allow 3–4 hours.
Onward from Sigiriya
- Sigiriya to Dambulla — 17 km, about 30 minutes
- Sigiriya to Colombo — 175 km, about 4 hours
- Sigiriya to Kandy — 90 km, about 2 hours 15 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 Sigiriya Village Hotel 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 35 min back to that.
