Travel to Kandy

Kandy City is a much sought after tourist attraction. However, there are always questions in mind about how to reach Kandy City or most comfortable way to reach the city. If you are planning to travel from India to Kandy City, there is no direct way to reach at the destination. You will first be dropped at the capital city of Sri Lanka, Colombo. From here, you can travel to the Kandy City in various ways. You can take the train, bus or a cab to reach the city.

If you plan to travel by train, deboard your flight and board a train from the Colombo Railway Station and alight at the Kandy Railway Station. This takes approximately 1.5 hours and is a comfortable ride. The view and thrill of riding in a train is completely enjoyable and a must-try. The trains keep running throughout the day but you will need to buy tickets to get an individual seat for yourselves. The bus is a more affordable way to reach the city. So, if you plan to take a bus, it will be a 3 hour bus ride from the capital to the city. There are various intercity buses that run throughout the day. However, you will have to buy a ticket for the bus too so that you can have a comfortable ride to the city. The ticket allows you to reserve a seat for yourself. Booking or renting a cab is a more personal way to reach the city but it takes more time than the other travel options. However, on arrival, from India, at Columbo, you can rent a car or book a cab to the Kandy City. the ride is roughly 3.5 hours. The ride is comfortable and will allow you to make voluntary stops on the way to view and admire famous tourist spots.

The only way to reach Kandy City from India is by air as the sea routes have been cancelled due to security and weather conditions.

By Air

The most comfortable way to travel to Kandy City is by booking a flight. There are flights like Air India, Indigo, Spicejet and Sri Lankan Airways that take you to and fro India and Sri Lanka. You will have to change planes at Columbo. The first flight will take you to Colombo which is a ride of about 2.5 hours. On arrival at Colombo, you can board the Sri Lankan flight to Kandy which takes approximately 1 hour. So, the total time taken to reach Kandy by air is 4 hours. You need to book your tickets in advance for intercity travel too. The timings differ according to the time of purchasing the tickets and the seats available. Since, traveling by air is the only way to travel from India to Sri Lanka, there is a huge demand for numerous ways to travel from Colombo to Kandy City.

Harsh Vanvala

Bengaluru

Harsh's 7 days trip to Kandy

Every thing was good except Hotel at Nuwara Eliya. Service & food was not good. I expected a good hotel there also as I have choosen five star category. Vehicle provided should be better than given.All things are more or less ok. Except the trip advisor Chetana Sharma.She is a newone most probably.

She does not know anything about payment terms.She insisted payment to be done directly for the balance amount in USD cash.I couldn't understand ?It was better for me to pay Travel triangle in India. Hotel location at Colombo.Ofcorse it was choosen by me.

Radha Krishna

Chennai

Radha's 3 days trip to Kandy

Very good collection of travel agencies and experiences. But the number of agencies who are pro active and responsive in discussing the itinerary are lesser compared to the overall number

SIVAPRIYA K

Chennai

Sivapriya's 5 days trip to Kandy

Srilanka is really a good place to visit. We booked the package through Travco Adventures. It was really a pleasant say. The package was also budget friendly compared to other agencies. The rooms were really good. In one of the places we stayed, our room was allocated nearby the river, we had a real

good view. Food was also good in all the places we stayed. A private car was provided to us and it was spacious. However, there are also few cons. 1) Guides will be mostly working with them on contract basis. It's not like they are aware of the full itinerary with respect to places and will be taking us there. We might have to be proactive and tell them these are the places we want to visit, and ensure all the places mentioned in the list is covered. 2) We were told that we would be provided with free sim upon arrival to Srilanka, but the assigned driver was not aware of it, and this lead to a bit of confusion and a delay of around an hour. It would have been good, if all these had been communicated prior. But apart from these, the assigned guide Mr. Thushar Kumar was also really good and was sportive. He was really a kind person and it was nice to chit-chat with him during the journey. He ensured we had a good, relaxing, value for money trip.

Chennai

Saravanakumar's 5 days trip to Kandy

Our trip was really good. The srilankan tour agent helped us a lot 'dilini'. A spl thanks to her and the tour guide & driver. The only one which I don't like is the travel triangle agent, I forgot her name. She was super rude and acting like a PM (no time to speak etc etc). I never had this kind o

f experience with anyone.
