How do I get from Bandaranaike International Airport to Kandy?

The most efficient way to get from Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) to Kandy is to pre-book a private taxi. It is direct, and it usually takes about 2.5 to 3 hours, travelling via the Central Expressway.

Alternatively, you can use a local taxi to Colombo Fort Railway Station and then take an intercity express train to Kandy. Still, after a long international flight, a direct private transfer remains the most reliable choice for bypassing Colombo city traffic and handling luggage more comfortably.
