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.

Deepak's 7 days trip to Kandy
Good hotels! Resourceful driver cum guide! My only issue is with the booking process. Travel triangle took 25 days to finalise my booking even though i was instantly getting back to them with updates/changes to my tour itinerary. I am otherwise completely satisfied with the trip.Abhishek Blade

Abhishek's 6 days trip to Kandy
I missed my flight from chennai to colombo due to, your improper connecting flight scheduling, Indigo flight from Delhi to Chennai being delayed and due to reschedule of Indigo flight from 5:55am to 5:40am and by the time I reached the checkin gates were already closed.Due to which I have to book another flight from Chennai to Colombo on Sri lankan Airlines that costed me around Rs. 13794.There is no update from your side that what all are you doing to get my money reimbursed from Indigo because of missed flights as there was no fault of mine for the same and your travel agent told me that they are helpless and you your self need to talk to the Indigo Airlines. Secondly I need a complete distribution of my bills explaining me clearly my flights cost, travel cost, hotels and others which ideally should be done before payment even but I have not received it even after payments and even after my tripShashank Bhatt

Anil's 11 days trip to Kandy
We undertook 11 days tour of Sri Lanka from 29th Feb to 10th March 2020 and visited Anuradhapura, Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara-Eliya, Mirissa, Bentota and Colombo. The entire tour was well planned by the travel agency and it was quite comfortable tour. Taxi driver with luxurious sedan was with us for the entire tour from day one and provided Sim card for connectivity and also worked as guide. We stayed for 2 days at certain places but no local sightseeing on the first day was arranged by the Agency. At some places food was not to our taste. In all tour was very satisfying and comfortable.Sree Karthik Hebbale Somashekar

Sree's 6 days trip to Kandy
I had one of the best experience with SEEMAX Travels. I was on a vacation to Srilanka for 6 days with family and my friends family. Seemax travel arranged each and everything in an organized manner and every thing was up to the mark.Driver Rajakaruna was a very professional and amazing person. He picked up on time from the Airport and also helped us in exploring places in Srilanka. All the Hotels were awesome with all amenities, Food was really great and more than our expectation. They were able to cover all the places as per the itinerary which was requested by us. I would like to thank Dilshan and team for making this holiday an amazing experience. I would also want to recommend SEEMAX TRAVEL FOR YOUR TRAVEL EXPERIENCE. It is one-stop for all your travel info at affordable prices. Seemax Travel is trustworthy.Aatish Arun Dhuri

Ieavinash's 6 days trip to Kandy
Ceyathra Destination had quoted the highest price (about 50-60 USD more) than its counterparts for a 6 day 7 night trip in March 2020. However, we stuck to Ceyathra because Gishan interacted personally and solved each and every query that we had before the trip. He was available 24*7 and was quick with responses and feedback. He showed amazing flexibility in making changes to the tour schedule and made sure we had a comfortable and fun filled experience. He and his driver Chitra had made sure that our 88 year old father who was travelling with us was comfortable too. Right from picking up at the Colombo airport, to dropping us back Ceyathra Destination offered immaculate service which came in form of Chatura the driver. Not only did he took personal care of all of us but also made sure we got the best Forex rates while buying the local currency. He not only drove us safely and showed us a number of places, but also went out of the way to get us good discounts. His wit came as a bonus for all of us. I recommend Ceyathra Destination to all those planning to travel to Sri Lanka ... Please be assured of personal care and promises will be kept. Thank you for reading ... Gishan can also be contacted on +94 76 804 8729 Climbing Sigriya rock, Dambulla caves, elephant safari, rafting, boat ride on bentota river and a swim on the beaches are not to be missedSamhitha Lanka

We enjoyed our trip to Sri Lanka. We were showered with immense care an attention throughout the trip, which made us feel safe at all times. Special shoutout to Ishraq from DirectLink and Vishal for co-ordinating such a wonderful trip.Padmajakonisetti

Padmajakonisetti's 4 days trip to Kandy
We booked our SL trip with Amaralanka Travels . Their service was good. We had Mr. Indica Kumar as our driver and tour guide. He was with us throughout the trip- Quite helpful. We traveled to Kandy, Nuwara Eliya and Bentota. The travel agent didn't realise that we asked for 4 nights. We stayed the 4th night on our own in Bentota and took a trip to Mirissa. All this we did after consulting with our driver assuming that he is in touch with the travel agency. On the 5th morning, when we were supposed to be dropped at Colombo, the travel agency informs that we need to pay additional amount. When asked why we were not informed when we landed at airport and paid the balance amount to the agent or by the agency over message or call in the first 4 days, the travel agency person turned rude and started abusing us that we were making a fuss. We were ready to pay the balance amount but the agency person turned it all bitter for us on the last day. The first hotel in Kandy could have been better. Except the last glitch, their service was good.Property Types in Kandy
