Taxi from Colombo Airport (CMB) to Kandy
Looking for a reliable taxi from Colombo Airport to Kandy? Jayasinghe Tours is based in Katunayake, beside Bandaranaike International Airport, so your driver is already close when you land. The distance to Kandy is about 115 km and the journey takes about 3 to 3.5 hours with a short stop.
Kandy is the hill-country capital, home to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, Kandy Lake and the Royal Botanic Gardens at Peradeniya. It is a popular first or second stop for visitors heading into the Cultural Triangle or the tea country.
About the Journey
Much of the route climbs through winding roads, so a professional driver makes the journey far more relaxed than driving yourself after a long flight. We can stop for tea, fruit stalls or a spice garden on request.
Our drivers are local, speak English and know the roads and the best places to stop. The vehicle is air-conditioned and fits your luggage, from a compact car for couples to a minivan for families and groups. See our car rental with driver service if you want the same driver for your whole trip.
