Anuradhapura to Nuwara Eliya : Distance & Travel Time
- This journey is long due to the mountainous terrain and winding roads of the hill country, not just the distance.
- Primary Route: The most common and efficient route is:
- Anuradhapura → Dambulla (A9) → Kandy (A9/A1) → Nuwara Eliya (A5)
- Key Sections:
- Anuradhapura to Kandy: A ~3-4 hour drive on good A-grade roads (see our Anuradhapura to Kandy guide).
- Kandy to Nuwara Eliya: This is the most demanding part of the journey. The A5 road is a steep, winding mountain pass. The drive is spectacular but slow, taking 2-3 hours.
- Scenery: The landscape transforms dramatically from dry-zone plains and cultural sites to lush, green tea plantations, waterfalls, and mist-covered mountains.
