Would it be possible to go to Pidurangala rock? Do you drive to Ella by car or is it also possible to take the train from Nanu Oya?

Pidurangala is not included in the itinerary but still its mandatory to climb, yes can do if the time allows. Yes sure you can do the train ride.

Can you please tell me, if it would be possible to stay in Galle instead of driving to Colombo airport, because after the tour we move on to the beach hotel in Tangalle. So it would be easier for us to stay here after we check out in Galle hotel instead of driving all the way back up to Colombo.

We can drop back to Tangalle would take around more than one hour, its additional changeable. We offer you drop back Tangalle as complimentary.

Would it be possible to change the hotel to Heritance Kandalama at Dambulla?

It's possible to change, but additional charges will apply.

Are we joining a private or group trip? Is it possible to get off before the tour leads to Galle? Which entrances are included in the price and what needs to be paid extra?

This is a small group tour and if no one else has joined, the departure will still be confirmed. We can drop you in Galle on the last day, and all entrance tickets need to be paid directly.
