Hello!

From the airport you can get on a local bus, it goes straight to Colombo and is very very cheap. Ask the locals they will help you with it, its not a problem.

Hi again,

Yes - on about the same fluency level as in bigger Indian cities. It's the third national language for Lanka, and e.g. used when a Tamil wants to talk to a Sinhalese.

All the best,

Hi

Most of the local people can manage with English , you will get free shuttle service from the air port to bus station near a/p from there can catch air conditioned public bus available each 20 minute it will take about 1 hours getting to Colombo .i think most suitable place you to stay is Colombo city hotel situated in the colombo center easy access to any place in the CLB also it is within the your budget .

Thanks you ,

Micy
