| Nuwara Eliya | Car & Driver from Hill Country to West Coast Posted: Mon November 10, 2003 07:59 PM UTC
Our family of 4 will be visiting Sri Lanka next February. We are booked on a pkg holiday with stays in Kandy and Bentota, but would like to see a bit of the Hill Country area on our own. If we were to forfeit one nights hotel at the beach (or Kandy) and take the train to Nuwara Eliya from Kandy (staying in Nuwara Eliya one night), would it be possible to hire a car and driver to take us from Nuwara Eliya to World's End (wait for us while we hiked in and out), then drive us to Bentota to our hotel? How long would the drive take (not including waiting time)? Approx. how much would it/should it cost? Would we be better off doing this as an outing from Kandy and returning to Kandy?
Any help greatly appreciated. |

Hello,
Glad you are coming to visit Sri Lanka. Here's some info for what you asked. Everything you mention is possible but it's not practical. This is what I suggest. Hire a vehicle from Kandy and visit Nuwera Eliya for 1 night. You can leave Kandy in the morning and arrive in NE buy lunch time. Relax walk around the city etc and leave early morning to World's end for your trek. The world's end trip including the trekking would be about 5 hours. You can leave late evening back to Kandy. You can expect to pay about Rs. 20/- per km for a hired car. You would do about 400 Kms for the trip. You can then join up with your package tour. Need more advice? nilankap@sltnet.lk Cheers, Nilanka
