Tourist info at Colombo airport - recommended

socheid 277 reviews
There is a tourist info desk at Colombo airport that I recommend of you don’t have a transfer arranged for when you land. The tourist info people can give you info on the bus services from the airport (the public buses cost peanuts) and also on taxis. When you step past the barrier outside arrivals you will be met with people after your business for the best price they can get. Use the tourist info desk so that you are equipped with the right info to make the best decision for yourself in the face of prospective rip offs.

The most cheapest way to get to the City from Airport is the BUS.

Turn left after coming out of the arrival lounge and walk until the end of the shades passing the TAXI Booking counters, and wait just few minutes, or you may find a red color shuttle bus already there, its free of cost and will take you to a nearby Bus Stop, take Bus Number 187 (This is not special Airport Bus and there is no Space for Big Luggage) if you take the second last seat on the left side there is enough space to put your luggage. Travel Time is around Hours and a half or little more.

This Bus will take you to Pettah (Fort Railway Station) the standard fare is SLR31.00 but but some time they charge extra if your luggage occupy another seat.

From Pettah to Airport or vice versa, there are Air conditioned VANS 22 seater (Same Number 187) If you have big luggage, yo may have to buy 2 seats, cost SLR 75 each, this Van will take you to the transportation center near the airport from there you have to get the Free Shuttle Bus (as mentioned above)

Metered Taxi’s are non existence and what they call Taxi is rented automobile and may cost around SLR2000 to 2500 to get to the city which is just 35 kilometer.

Early Colombo mini buses to Intl Airport

BobF7 1 reviews
For early morning flights from Colombo Airport (Sri Lanka), wait on the main road outside Central Bus Station.
Mini buses pull in here, before 06:30am, to pick up passengers.
They display the number 187, and charge 200 Rupees, and link up with the free shuttle, which then goes to the airport terminal. A tuk-tuk would charge 1500, private vehicles 2000 Rupees. Trip takes around an hour, as many locals get on & off along the way.

How to buy tickets…

You cannot book online*, but it’s easy to buy tickets when you get to Sri Lanka, there is a special ticket window for tourists in the 1st & 2nd class advance booking office at the east end of Colombo Fort station. Reservations for trains with reserved seating such as InterCity Express trains open 10-14 days in advance. Other trains (shown as having ‘unreserved’ seats) don’t require a reservation, you just buy a ticket on and hop on. Seats in the 1st class observation car from Colombo to Kandy can get fully-booked from time to time, so book a few days ahead if you can, but you may well find seats available on the day of travel.

If you really want to pre-book a train before you get to Sri Lanka, and are prepared to pay a booking fee, try contacting a local travel agency (and let me know if you find a good one!) or even asking your hotel to arrange tickets for you. If you want to book some hotels or tours as well as train tickets, reputable agency www.reddottours.com will book train tickets for you if you’re also booking £300 or more of other tours and accommodation with them.

* The special deluxe ExpoRail carriage Colombo-Kandy can be booked online, at www.exporail.lk.

When an SC/ST is harassed like this, that means he is treading the right path. Ultimately he/she will reach the ultimate goal.As per Presidential directive non of the SC/ST could be made unfit with out informing him and without training him to become fit. grading is always one step higher. If it is unsatisfactory, it is satisfactory, if it is very good for others it is excellent for SC/ST. If suitable candidates are not found among SC/STs for an higher grade he must promoted and trained.

Such harassements are taking place in all govt. departments to deny protions to SC/STs to promote junior manuvadis. Now that Ms Mayawati has become eligible for her higher post of PM for PRABUDDHA BHARATH, you will see a few such manuvadi elements trying to curb it. Ultimately we will win because we are on the right Constitutional path. All that we have to do is go to every street and convince the people the ills of becoming saleable commodities and work hard to hand over the MASTERKEY to BSP. soe sarvajan hithay Sarvajan Sukhay i.e., for the peace,welfare and happiness for the entire people.
