Getting from Colombo Airport (CMB) to Kandy takes about 2h by car on an empty road (2h – 2h 30min in heavy traffic) over 101 km via A1 and B208. Our private transfer costs €65 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €95 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.
On arrival: The driver waits in the Arrival Lobby of Bandaranaike International Airport, the public area you walk into after immigration, baggage claim and the customs check, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.
Kandy, the last royal capital of Sri Lanka and a UNESCO World Heritage city, sits in the central hills around an artificial lake, with the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic on its northern shore. From the airport the road runs inland through Minuwangoda to the Colombo-Kandy road (A1), then climbs past Kegalle and over the Kadugannawa Pass into the hills. The distance is about 100 km and the trip usually takes two and a half to three hours, as much of the route is a two-lane road through towns.
Central Kandy is compact: the Temple of the Tooth, the lake promenade and the market streets around Dalada Veediya are within walking distance of each other, and many guesthouses and hotels sit on the hillsides above the lake, reached by narrow, steep roads. The Royal Botanical Gardens at Peradeniya lie about 6 km south-west of the centre. During the Esala Perahera festival in July or August, roads around the temple are closed for the evening processions and the town is very busy.
Public transport: There is no direct public transport from the airport to Kandy. The official airport pages list the route 187 bus to Colombo Fort Railway Station (about 50 minutes, Rs 325); from Colombo Fort, Sri Lanka Railways trains on the Main Line continue to Kandy.
