Your transfer to Water Garden Sigiriya

Water Garden Sigiriya is in Kimbissa, 152 kilometres from Bandaranaike International Airport — about 3 hours 35 minutes in normal traffic.

The quoted distance is measured to Sigiriya. Water Garden Sigiriya is about 4 kilometres north-west 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 Sigiriya; a car crossing the city at half past four in the afternoon is not making the same journey as one arriving at dawn.

For a sense of the shape of the journey: Water Garden Sigiriya is about 131 kilometres from the airport in a straight line against the 152 kilometres the road actually covers.

The nearest hotel on this site is Aliya Resort & Spa in Inamaluwa, about 1.4 km away.

Day trips from Water Garden Sigiriya

  • Pidurangala Rock — about 3 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 4 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.
  • 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.
  • Dambulla Royal Cave Temple — about 18 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.
  • Kaudulla National Park — about 26 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.

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 Water Garden Sigiriya 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.
