Your transfer to Ulagalla by Uga Escapes

Ulagalla by Uga Escapes is in Thirappane, 170 kilometres from Bandaranaike International Airport — about 3 hours 30 minutes in normal traffic.

The quoted distance is measured to Anuradhapura. Thirappane, where Ulagalla by Uga Escapes is, is about 17 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 Anuradhapura; a car crossing the city at half past four in the afternoon is not making the same journey as one arriving at dawn.

It also sits on the airport side of Anuradhapura — roughly 3 kilometres nearer Bandaranaike than the centre is, in a straight line — so the car reaches it without having to cross the middle of the city first.

Day trips from Ulagalla by Uga Escapes

  • Anuradhapura Sacred City — about 20 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.
  • Pidurangala Rock — about 38 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.
  • Sigiriya Rock Fortress — about 39 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.
  • Kaudulla National Park — about 42 km away in a straight line. Elephants gather at the reservoir here in their hundreds through the dry season, moving between Kaudulla and Minneriya as the water drops. Allow an afternoon safari.
  • Dambulla Royal Cave Temple — about 42 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.

Onward from Anuradhapura

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 Ulagalla by Uga Escapes 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 30 min back to that.
