Hello,

The ferry between Sri Lanka and India is not yet operational and wont be in June either. The best way to get to India is to buy a return ticket from Colombo visit India and get back to Colombo for your flight.

Getting a visa from the Indian High Commission in Colombo is straight forward and will take you one day. There are quite a few flights offering tickets and you can expect to get a deal for about Rs.30,000 including accommodation.

Let me know if you need more info: nilankap@sltnet.lk

Cheers,

Nilanka

The SL-India ferry is one of those great myths of world travel! It's been 'nearly there' for a few years now and it's such a blatantly obvious route that most people can't believe it doesn't exist! Best and only bet is, like the first answer said, to fly - Chennai, Mumbai and Bangalore are all good possibilities. Here's hoping that 2004 will be the year that you can finally sail. Otherwise I might just have to try and swim for it!
