Finding sober tuk tuk drivers for early morning Ashtanga in Mirissa
5 Answers from travellers
It is very difficult to find a random tuk-tuk on the street at 5:30 AM unless they are waiting outside a club for drunk passengers. To guarantee a safe, sober ride, ask your guesthouse owner the night before to pre-book a driver from their village. They have trusted contacts who will wake up early specifically for your trip.
PickMe rarely works that early in the deep south. Pre-booking is your only reliable option.
If you are staying near Mirissa beach, you can probably just walk to the yoga shala. Most places are within 15 minutes walking distance.
I pre-booked a driver and he was waiting exactly at 5:30 AM. Cost me 500 rupees extra for the early call, totally worth it.
Do not get into a tuk-tuk parked outside the clubs at 5 AM. Those drivers have often been awake all night and are exhausted.
