The best time to travel would be very early in the morning........ Along Kandy road, to Ambepussa, turn off to Kurunegala, onto Dambulla, Habarana, Kantale an Trinco.

If leaving Colombo after 7:30am, you have options to get to Kurunegala, through either Ja-ela to Narammala, Giriulla and Kuru. or through Pasyala on the kandy road to Narammala , Giriulla then Kuru.

However the Kantale to Trinco strech is under construction and will take you ages to get through depending on time of day, traffic etc.

If you feel you want to take an alternate (but longer and slightly faster ) route, you can turn off at kantale onto the Muththur road and get to Trinco through china bay.

From Kanthale to Trinco road is horrible. Pollonnaeuwa Bati -Trinco road is fully carpetted. Only thing is the distance.

At the moment this is the best route.

Damn it's been over a year since I went that way, you would have thought they would have done up the Kantale - Trinco stretch by now.

Right.

Even Dambulla to Habara section is carpeting (There was nothing wrong in that section of the road) and I faced a bit of a jam there couple of months back. I don't think they finished it yet.

Better to avoid rush hours. (Believe me there was nothing like a rush hour in those roads a couple of years back, but now its not!)

thanks... i decided to leave from colombo at 2am. so i think Kuru, Dambulla, Kanthale and Trinco route is better for this time.
