Plan your Colombo Airport to Sigiriya transfer
The airport pickup on this page is Bandaranaike International Airport in Katunayake, code CMB. Check that code on your ticket: Colombo city and Colombo International Airport Ratmalana (RML) are different pickup locations. Change the starting point in the form if your flight uses another airport.
For a late flight, coordinate hotel check-in before travelling into the Cultural Triangle. If you plan to climb the fortress, check entry arrangements and consider whether a visit after the flight suits your arrival time and energy.
Use the booking map for the route and driving-time estimate between CMB and your selected Sigiriya address. Add intended stops in journey order. Immigration, baggage collection and finding the agreed pickup point are separate from driving time.

The last part of the journey
Arriving in Sigiriya from Colombo Airport
Use the Sigiriya hotel or guesthouse’s full map result for arrival. The rock fortress is a visitor destination rather than a universal hotel drop-off. Enter it separately if a visit is part of the airport transfer.
Does a CMB to Sigiriya transfer include the fortress visit?
The direct transfer ends at the address you enter. Add the fortress approach as a stop if you want a visit before continuing to the hotel. Admission, guiding and visit time need separate planning and are not included automatically in the road fare.
