Tour 8 Minneriya and Polonnaruwa

The A6 from Colombo to Trincomalee meets the A11 bound for the east coast at Habarana, making it an ideal starting point for a drive combining the elephant country of Minneriya and the ancient ruins of Polonnaruwa.

DISTANCE: 42km (26 miles)

TIME: A leisurely day

START: Habarana

END: Polonnaruwa

POINTS TO NOTE: It’s possible to drive around the ruins at Polonnaruwa but a lot more enjoyable to cycle – bikes can be rented from most local guesthouses and other places around town. After this route, you could spend another night in Habarana, then drive south through Kandy for tours 5 and 6.
