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.

Elangumaran Bangalore

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'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

Radha Krishna 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.

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 of experience with anyone.
