Colombo Airport to Bibile Taxi
A small town in the eastern Uva foothills, on the quiet road between Badulla and the coast.
Airport to Bibile: what to expect
Five and a half hours from the terminal, in the foothills east of Badulla. Bibile sits in dry-zone forest country on the road towards Ampara and the east coast, and it is about as far from the tourist circuit as a main road gets.
The appeal is the drive and the emptiness. Nilgala forest to the north is a medicinal-plant reserve with elephants, and the road onwards through Padiyatalawa runs for miles with almost nothing on it.
