Sri Lanka itinerary help: Colombo → Hikkaduwa → Mirissa → Yala → Ella → Sigiriya (transport advice needed)

Hi everyone!

We are a group of 8 friends from India traveling to Sri Lanka for 8–9 days. We are planning the following route:

Colombo → Hikkaduwa → Galle → Mirissa → Yala → Ella → Sigiriya → Colombo

We will mostly use trains/buses, but for some legs we need a comfortable van or car with a driver (since we have luggage).

Routes where we may need help:
• Mirissa → Yala (safari)
• Yala → Ella
• Ella → Sigiriya
• Sigiriya → Colombo

If anyone knows reliable local drivers or companies that offer good prices for an 8-seater van, please share contacts.

Also open to suggestions if our itinerary can be improved!

Thank you!
