Kandy lies roughly 130 km inland from the airport, a three-and-a-half hour climb into the hills. It is the most requested long transfer we run.
Many travellers turn the drive into a half-day by adding Pinnawala and a Matale spice garden.

North-east through Kurunegala or via the expressway and Kadawatha, then a winding final climb. We keep the pace easy and stop when you need to.
Four or more travellers with luggage should take a van for the hill section.
