If you are wondering how to reach Kandy from Delhi, then the best option is to travel through air.

Although Kandy does not have an international airport but it is easily accessible from the well-known Colombo International Airport. It serves as the main airport for international flights in Sri Lanka and is well-connected with Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and more. As the capital of India is linked well with different modes of transport, availing airline services from Delhi to Kandy is not a hassle for anyone nowadays. Since Sri Lanka is a separate island, it is not connected with India via road and therefore it is not possible to reach this country via bus, train or car. Similarly, there are no sea routes available from India to Sri Lanka which makes airways the only option to travel to Kandy.

Covering around 2,404 km from Delhi to Colombo takes approximately 4 hours via a direct flight. From Colombo, Kandy is just a 103 km away which can be easily reached via air or land. When in Kandy, one must explore its rainforests and the famous Kandy Lake which is mostly visited by tourists for a leisurely stroll. Not only this, the city also possesses sacred Buddhist temples and shrines that are must-visit tourist places. Traveling in the city is not an issue as there are different types of mode to explore the city like intercity express buses, local trains, and taxis.

By Air:

One may take a flight from the Indira Gandhi International Airport which is located in Delhi and is easily accessible via car, bus or metro. Several airlines like IndiGo and SpiceJet connect Delhi and Colombo with one or more stops. Apart from this, SriLankan and Air India also provide non-stop flights which are comparatively more expensive. One must choose a flight keeping their budget and time in mind. After reaching the Colombo International Airport, colloquially known as Katunayake Airport, one can book a flight to the Polgolla Reservoir Airport in Kandy which is accessible through Cinnamon Air. Due to rising inflow of tourists in Kandy, the government decided to form a domestic airport in the city which has made it easier for tourists to travel to this beautiful city.
