Need for daily official updates about upcountry access roads for tourists

December 09, 2025

DUE to the recent cyclone access roads to Nuwara Eliya have been severely affected.

The Kandy-Gampola-Ramboda-Nuwara Eliya road has been the worst affected and may take some time to repair.

I personally visited Colombo on Monday (1 December) via the Wadawata - Kirindiwela - Ruwanwella - Ginigathhena - Hatton road and came back to Nuwara Eliya on Tuesday (2nd December). By now the Kaduwela -Avissawella road too is accessible. Although you will see a lot of rubble on the way, all kinds of vehicles like big fuel bowsers, container carriers, public buses, tourist buses, lorries and all kinds of other vehicles travel on this road. This is a perfectly good road to travel to Nuwara Eliya.
