I want to spend most of my time in the Cultural triangle area(Kandy,Anuradhapura,Polonnaruwa,Ella). I'm hoping to go from CMB straight to either Kandy or Anuradhapura (I arrive CMB at 11:50am). Taking advantage of the Hilton January sale and staying at the Hilton Colombo my last night.

If anyone has recommendations for places to stay in the area, experience with hiring a car & driver, I'd love to hear from you.

Also, if you took anti-malaria medication, what did you take?

Thanks
We stayed at the Freedom Lodge... basically a family's home in Kandy for well under $20/nt a few years ago. Just got a taxi from CMB to Kandy after arriving about 8am. We based ourselves there for lots of trips around the country... they arranged a driver. We took Doxycycline for malaria.
