Planning your stay

Anuradhapura is about four to five hours by road from Colombo, and about an hour and a half from Sigiriya and Dambulla. The ancient city is large, so allow a full day and start early to avoid the midday heat.

Things to do nearby

Visit the Sri Maha Bodhi, Ruwanwelisaya, the Abhayagiri monastery and Mihintale, or the Aukana Buddha.

How to Get There

You will find Forest Rock Garden in the countryside west of Anuradhapura, outside the town. The drive from Bandaranaike International Airport covers roughly 165 km and takes 3 hours 45 minutes or so, travelling north through Kurunegala, or by the Puttalam road.

If you start in Colombo, it is around 195 km, about 4 hours on the road.

To keep arrival simple, ask us for a private transfer with a chauffeur who meets you outside arrivals. You can keep the car for touring afterwards. Allow extra time at weekends and on public holidays, when the roads out of Colombo are busier.
