How to choose

Ticket questions

Does the tour price include the entrance fee?

Most day trips do not include the 1,000 LKR entrance fee. You usually pay this in cash at the temple gate. Check the inclusions on your specific tour carefully.

Can I book a sunrise tour?

Yes. The tuk-tuk tour tour specifically caters to sunrise timings. They provide transport from your local hotel to the base before 5:00 AM.

Do I need a guided tour?

No, you can hike independently. However, a local guide from the guided hike & picnic provides context about the 2,000-year-old monastery and helps navigate the final boulder scramble.

Had a great day with Irfan, our driver. He told us a lot about Sri Lanka. Showed us extra interesting places and let us taste Sri lankan specialties. He also drives neatly and gentle. With a son who always get carsick thans is really a bonus.
