About Galle

Galle is a Dutch fort on a headland with a working Sri Lankan city behind it, and since the Southern Expressway opened it is {{time:CMB}} from the airport rather than most of a day. That is why so many itineraries start or end here, and why the transfers in and out of Galle are the most predictable we run. Every price on this page is for the whole vehicle, with the driver, fuel, the E01 tolls and parking included; you pay the full price online by card when you book, so there is nothing to pay the driver at the Fort gate. Galle to Colombo Airport is {{km:CMB}}, about {{time:CMB}}, from {{price:CMB}}; along the coast, Mirissa is {{km:MIRISSA}} and {{time:MIRISSA}} for {{price:MIRISSA}}, and Ella in the hills is {{km:ELLA}}, about {{time:ELLA}}, from {{price:ELLA}}.
