HOW to GET TO KALPITIYA From Colombo international airport

It is 144km to Kalpitiya Ruuk Village. There are four possible ways to get to us. One things to keep in mind is, in Sri Lanka we measure distnace in TIME rather than KMs.

1. Most comfortable and fastest is by car / Taxi (takes about 3 hours depending on Traffic). Advantage is that you dont need to worry about finding your way with google maps.

2. Get a taxi at the airport counter. Disadvantage being that most drivers don’t know where exactly you accommodations are located on the 44km long Kalpitiya Peninsula.

3. Take public transport. By bus, this can take up about 5 hours or even a bit longer and you need to change buses. If you have few pieces of luggage this can be a bit messy too.

4. By train, do check exact train departure times in advance. The train time table cannot be compared with any other modern European train schedules.

   • This is fun and can also be more adventures too. But when you are tired after your long flight, might not be the best option.

   • Train ride can also take up to about 5-6 hours in total as you need to get off the train at "Palavi Junction" and then take a Tuk Tuk or a Bus further up to Kalpitiya ( 44km, if you need to go all the way up to Ruuk Village
