Colombo Airport to Siyambalanduwa Taxi
The junction where the hill-country road meets the route to Arugam Bay, in dry elephant country.
Airport to Siyambalanduwa: what to expect
Six hours from the terminal, deep in the south-east. Siyambalanduwa is a crossroads town rather than a destination — the road from Wellawaya and Monaragala meets the route east to Pottuvil and Arugam Bay here.
The country around it is dry monsoon forest and paddy, with a significant wild elephant population. The road east is well known for elephants at dusk, and driving it after dark needs real care.
