Mannar Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Although death-trap buses head directly to Colombo and there’s a daily bus all the way to Trincomalee (Rs 120, 7½ hours), the most convenient access to Mannar is by twice-hourly buses from Vavuniya (Rs 50, 2½ hours). Check both CTB and private bus stands for the next departure.
