Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, head towards Anuradhapura from your location in the Cultural Triangle. Make sure to use a GPS or map application for the best route. Once you reach the center of Anuradhapura, look for signs directing you towards Lankarama Road. Follow Lankarama Road until you reach Lankarama Dagoba, which will be on your left side. There is usually parking available near the site, but be prepared for a small fee, generally around 100 LKR for parking.

• Public Transport

  For those using public transportation, take a bus from your current location to Anuradhapura. Buses are frequent and inexpensive, costing approximately 50-150 LKR depending on your starting point. Once you arrive at the main bus station in Anuradhapura, you can either take a tuk-tuk or walk to Lankarama. If you choose to walk, head south on B 500 Road, then turn onto Lankarama Road. The walk is about 2 kilometers and should take around 25-30 minutes. A tuk-tuk ride will cost around 200 LKR and will take about 10 minutes.

• Taxi

  If you prefer a more direct route, you can hire a taxi from any location in the Cultural Triangle to Lankarama Dagoba. This option is more expensive, typically ranging from 2000 to 4000 LKR depending on your starting point and negotiation. Ensure the driver knows the destination; it is a well-known site in Anuradhapura, so they should be familiar with it. The taxi ride will take approximately 1-1.5 hours depending on traffic conditions.
