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.

Saravanakumar Kumarasamy

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.

Our holiday with trip travel hub was good. Efficient service for people in our group wanting a change in itenary at last moment. Travel agent was very accommodating. Gave us good car with driver. Only at Mirissa the room given to us was on 4th floor but no lift facility.

Moushumi Ghosh

Hyderabad

Moushumi's 6 days trip to Kandy

I would say my overall trip was fine but there is scope of improvement when it comes to itinerary and planning. We could not cover a lot of points irrespective of the fact we started everyday as early as 9am. We barely got any time to shop in Colombo, in fact Lotus tower was the only place we could

vidit after our arrival to Colombo and the cab driver didn't let us shop the next day or on our last day when we headed 5-6 hours early to the airport. The hotels were good except for the fact that two of them had no lifts but we had to climb stairs which was not beforehand. In fact the hotel which had a great view in Kandy, I requested the agent if we could stay there instead of going to Nuwara eliya but since it was last minute it was not acceptable. I would give 3 out 5 as there is scope of having better experience. My best memory is the time we spent in the Millennium elephant orphanage where we fed and bathed the elephant and walked with one.

Vipul Jain

Chennai

Vipul's 8 days trip to Kandy

Trip Travel Hub provided what they promised, good car, good driver which is the most important aspect of the tour. Sachini from Trip Travel hub was in constant touch with us before the journey started, share the details of the vehicle before hand. Doshan during the whole trip was very helpful and gu

ided us through out the trip. Trip travel hub is an agency which can be trusted for Srilanka tours.
