About Dambulla
Dambulla is a market town on a crossroads, and the crossroads is why you stay here. The A9 from Kandy meets the A6 from Kurunegala to Trincomalee in the middle of town, which puts Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, Anuradhapura and the Minneriya elephants within a morning’s drive. Above the traffic rises the rock of the cave temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991; below it run the lorries of the island’s biggest wholesale vegetable market. Every transfer from Dambulla on this page has a fixed price for the whole vehicle, sedan or six-seat van, with driver, fuel, tolls and parking included. You book and pay the full price online by card, so there is nothing to pay your driver on the day; if you prefer, pay 50% online and the rest in cash to the driver, which costs 10% more.
