Travel guide
Sri Lanka transport guide
Trains, buses, tuk-tuks, and when a private driver is worth it.
Trains are scenic (Kandy–Ella) but timed. Buses are cheap and crowded. Tuk-tuks suit short hops.
A private driver pays off for airport runs, multi-stop days, luggage, and flexible timing — especially with kids or a tight itinerary. Use our transfers and itineraries when you want one vehicle for the whole loop.
