Sigiriya to Ella : Distance & Travel Time
This is a long but incredibly scenic cross-country journey through the heart of Sri Lanka.
- Primary Route: There are two common routes:
- Via Kandy (Most Common): Sigiriya -> Kandy (A6/A9) -> Nuwara Eliya (A5) -> Ella. This is the most scenic route.
- Direct Route: Sigiriya -> Matale (A11) -> Kandy -> Ella. This route uses more main roads but is still very winding.
- Scenery: The journey offers a dramatic transition: from the dry zone’s ancient reservoirs, through the cultural hub of Kandy, up into the misty tea plantations of Nuwara Eliya, and finally to the dramatic cliffs and valleys of Ella.
2. Travel Time
This is one of the longest single-day transfers in Sri Lanka for tourists, and the time is highly variable.
- Standard Time: 5 to 6 hours of pure driving time under good conditions.
- Factors Affecting Time:
- Mountain Roads: The section from Kandy to Ella is extremely winding, steep, and slow. It is not a fast highway.
- Traffic: Heavy traffic around Kandy and slow-moving trucks on hill roads are common.
- Weather: Fog, mist, and rain in the hill country can severely reduce visibility and slow travel to a crawl.
- Stops: You will absolutely want to stop for photos, tea, and sightseeing, which can easily add 1-2 hours.
