Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Gampaha
Choosing the right airport depends on your destination within Sri Lanka and your priority for speed versus cost. Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) is the primary international gateway and offers the most convenient access to Gampaha, though it is located in the neighboring city of Katunayake. It is best suited for international travelers seeking efficiency. Diyawanna Oya Seaplane Base (DWO), also in the nearby city of Colombo, is a smaller hub primarily for regional and scenic flights, suitable for those already in the capital area. Other options like Sigiriya Airport (GIU), Koggala Airport (KCT), and Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport (HRI) serve the Central, Southern, and Deep South regions, respectively; these are not in Gampaha and require extensive overland travel. For travelers heading to Gampaha, CMB remains the most practical choice due to its proximity and the availability of direct taxi services. Always verify traffic conditions, as journeys between these regional airports and Gampaha can be significantly affected by local infrastructure.

The communication from the host after booking is good. Location is not too far from the airport however as my room is very close to kitchen and the room is not noise free so you can pretty much hear everything from people cleaning , cooking , talking as if you are in the same room all the time. ,even my dinner end at 7 pm the cooking for the staff and all won’t end at around 9 which is not good if you really want to rest up and sleep. Apart from that location is good. Surrounding is beautiful. Food is ok I would prefer more traditional Srilankan than they are trying to make western food and not as impressive. Spring roll is over cooked and vegetables soup was not impressive. It also just that they won’t stop cooking for themselves afterward as well until late night and my room would smell. Maybe they should have circulation better and advertise that we can hear everything all the time as sharing space.FromUS$83
