How to Reach Sri Lanka

Taking a direct flight from Delhi or Chennai to Colombo is the best way to travel cover the distance from India and Sri Lanka. The island is completely inaccessible by road and train so India to Sri Lanka by flight is a preferred option for travellers. Those wondering how to go to Sri Lanka from India by ship should know that Mumbai to Colombo cruise takes about 2 days and ferries are available at Rameshwaram. Boarding an India to Sri Lanka cruise is a good alternative to booking a flight. Recently UNESCO added the name of Sri Lankan historical sites to the category of World heritage sites. Certainly, UNESCO’s addition helped attract more tourists and Sri Lanka’s tourism has progressed significantly. Whether it’s the ancient temples or the stone etched carvings in a cave, all minutely portray the legacy of their ancient rulers and civilization. Now, read to get a perfect idea about the diverse routes of Sri Lanka.Below are the different options about how to reach Sri Lanka including distance and flight duration:

By Air

Colombo International Airport (CMB) is the main point of entry for international travelers in Sri Lanka. The availability of domestic flights in Sri Lanka is limited as most of the cities are quite near to each other. Direct flights from Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Chennai are available by Air India, Jet Airways, and SriLankan Airlines. India to Sri Lanka flight duration may vary from 90 minutes to 3 hours 30 minutes depending on the airport.

However, some of the prime flight zones are from Ampara, Bentota river, Colombo, Hatton, Jaffna, Kandy, Anuradhapura, Katugastota, Kelaniya, Koggala, Mahaweli, Weerala, Sigiriya, Trincomalee etc. The airlines that religiously serve Sri Lanka are like Jet Airways, Singapore airlines, Turkish Airlines, Spice jet airlines etc.

By Train

Once you scout you will get the detail travel time of the buses that majorly includes routes like Negombo, Galle, while there is a direct bus route from the Colombo to Kandy. For every hour the buses travel for forty to fifty kilometers. However, the speed lifts up as the drivers are set to wheel on the plane lands to 60 to 70 kilometers. But again the speed slows down to 20 km in the hilly areas.

By Road

In Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka Railways runs throughout the island. A train ride is more relaxing as compared to other rides. In fact, the first class train ticket in Sri Lanka does not go beyond $15.35. In Sri Lanka, there are three rail lines, including South from Colombo, East from Colombo, and North from Colombo. One can book regular class or an AC class depending upon the distance of your location and hours of travel.

	By Air	By Road	By Train	By Sea
New Delhi to Sri Lanka	4.0 hours	82.0 hours	-	-
Mumbai to Sri Lanka	63.0 hours	63.0 hours	-	-
Bangalore to Sri Lanka	1.0 hours	50.0 hours	-	-

Vishal's 8 days trip to Sri Lanka

We had 7 night stay at 6 different hotels. We have asked and paid for 4 star hotel catagory. Thre hotels at Sigiriya, Seeduwa and Nuwara Eliya were not good. The hotel at Nuwara Eliya was of a home stay catagory. Agent should have booked better hotels.

Dinaker Janakiraman

Bangalore

Dinaker's 9 days trip to Sri Lanka

We undertook a 8 night Sri Lanka package through Travel Triangle and our agent in Sri Lanka was Discover Ceylon. The whole process from booking to payments, etc were smooth. We were highly satisfied with the package and the agent ensured to provide very good hotel and vehicle with Tamil speaking dri

ver. The owner himself was in touch with us and ensured our comfort. Some places we could not spend time due to heavy rains driving time from one place to another. We would highly recommend M/s Discover Ceylon if one wishes to do explore Sri Lanka

Chennai

Vinoth's 6 days trip to Sri Lanka

Overall experience was good. This is the second time I am getting the tour package from Travel Triangle. Definitely I will consider again for my next trip. It's very easy to access and plan our travel.

Rakesh Tiwari

Mumbai

Rakesh's 8 days trip to Sri Lanka

Hotels were good except Royal Classic Resort, Kandy (so worst that I can't describe) and Ocean Edges and suits Colombo (average). We opted for vegetarian food (without egg) hence had very less option to eat at most of the but we managed it any how. Driver was nice and guided us well throughout our t

our. We visited most of the famous hindu temples and Ramayana sites in Sri Lanka which was main object of our this Ramayana tour of Sri Lanka. I am thankful to whole TravelTriangle team and Ms. Chetna for arranging and helping us for our tour. Besides few bitter experiences, we are overall satisfied. Best moment was our visit to Bhakta Hanuman Temple and Chinmaya Mission managed Restaurant there. Actually, the meal severed there was pure veg and like prasadam.

Pallavi Srivastava

Bengaluru

Pallavi's 8 days trip to Sri Lanka

Out of 3 only 1 was exceptionally best, 1 was average and other was really bad. The driver and the cab was excellent.

Vasundhara Tilekar

Pune

Vasundhara's 7 days trip to Sri Lanka

We recently visited Sri Lanka on a trip organized by Steeple Tours, with assistance from Dilini. She was excellent at her job, providing support throughout the trip. The accommodations were comfortable, and the staff was very welcoming. The driver was knowledgeable, showed us great places, and offer

ed helpful suggestions for a smoother journey. However, we would like to highlight two key concerns: 1. **Herbal and Spice Garden in Bentota:** This was our first visit to the garden, and we were unsure of what to expect. Upon arrival, the representative’s initial question was whether we planned to make any purchases. They indicated that they would only show us around if we intended to buy something, as their time was valuable. Although we expressed interest in looking around before deciding, their attitude changed when we chose not to make a purchase. They made disrespectful remarks, insinuating that we couldn’t afford it. This behavior was unprofessional and unacceptable, especially towards tourists who contribute to the country’s tourism industry. 2. **Availability of Indian Food:** Before flying to Sri Lanka, we repeatedly confirmed that Indian food would be available at the hotels where we would stay. Despite this, 4 out of the 7 hotels did not provide Indian food. This was disappointing, as it affected the overall experience. We kindly request you to address these issues to ensure better experiences for future travelers.
