How to get from Colombo airport to the resorts of Sri Lanka?

From Bandaranaike Airport in Colombo (code CMB), you can get to the resorts in several ways, depending on your budget and preferences:

• By taxi: The most convenient option. The cost starts from $18 to Negombo and up to $240 to distant places, for example, Yala National Park. You can order it in the arrivals hall, through Uber or the local app PickMe. We recommend bargaining or booking a transfer in advance with Russian-language support.
• By tuk-tuk: Cheaper than a taxi (almost half the price), but suitable only for short trips, for example, to Negombo or Colombo. Bargain, as the initial price may be inflated.
• By bus: Route No. 187 to Colombo costs from 100 rupees (about 26 rubles). During the day, frequent city buses run, at night - minibuses. From the bus station in Colombo, you can transfer to other routes to the resorts. There is also the Averiwatta bus station 2 km from the airport, from where buses depart to cities like Kandy or Negombo.
• By train: From Katunayaka South railway station (2 km from the airport), you can get to Colombo or Negombo. Trains run 1-2 times a day, tickets from 50 rupees. Check the schedule on the website railways.gov.lk.

Public transport is poorly developed, so for comfort, it is better to choose a taxi or transfer.
