How to Reach Beira Lake

Cabs are the cheapest and easiest mode of transport from Colombo city to Beira Lake. This should give another inkling as to how to reach Beira Lake. Truthfully speaking, the only other valid options for transport are Tuk-Tuks. The closest airport to Beira Lake is Bandaranaike International Airport in Colombo. Taking a cab is not really a very expensive idea if traveling to the temple directly.

The closest railway station is in Mount Lavinia, which is quite a long way from the lake. So, the 34-km drive from Colombo is the best answer to how to reach Beira Lake. The nearest port is Colombo Harbor for tourists arriving by sea. There is a similar scenario with the distance from Colombo Port to this epic man-made lake. A slightly unconventional way to go is the local specialty – Tuk-Tuk rides. This is best for tours of the entire city of Colombo and not just one location at a time.
