Matale Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Bus 594 to Matale (private bus/intercity express Rs 33/19) leaves from beside the central clock tower in Kandy. Dambulla or Anuradhapura buses from Kandy or Matale will drop you at Aluvihara or the spice gardens. There are six daily trains on the pretty 28km spur line between Matale and Kandy (Rs 9, 1½ hours).
