Notes on the Geography of Sri Lanka: Mahaweli Ferry A few informal ferries survive on the river, including this one at Paingamuwa, upstream from Peradeniya. Make default image size larger The ferryman owns the dugout, which he says will last only a few years. The charge: 5 rupees or about 5 cents.  People take the ferry because there's a market on the far side. The ferryman's own residence, near the landing. As spare as is conceivable. Another trip. Ready to come ashore.
