🚌 Other Travel Options from Arugam Bay to Sigiriya

Although a private taxi offers the most comfort, there are other travel methods to consider:

• Bus: You can take local buses from Pottuvil to Polonnaruwa or Dambulla, then transfer to Sigiriya. This is a long and tiring journey (8–10 hours) and not ideal with luggage.
• Train: There’s no direct train from Arugam Bay. You’d need to travel to Ella or Badulla first, then connect to Habarana or Dambulla by bus or tuk-tuk.
• Self-drive: Renting a car or motorbike is possible, but driving in rural Sri Lanka can be tricky for foreigners.

For most travelers, especially families or those short on time, a taxi is the best way to travel from Arugam Bay to Sigiriya.
