Colombo to Kandy: Distance & Travel Time

1. Distance & Route Options

The journey from Colombo to Kandy takes you from the coastal plains into the scenic central highlands of Sri Lanka.

• Primary Route: The journey is primarily on the A1 highway, also known as the Kandy Road. This is a well-maintained but often busy road, especially as you leave the Colombo metropolitan area.
• Expressway Option: A significant portion of the journey can now be done on the Central Expressway (E04). This has dramatically reduced travel times and improved comfort. Your driver will typically take the Outer Circular Highway (OCH) from Colombo to connect to the Central Expressway.

 2. Travel Time

Travel time is highly dependent on the route and traffic conditions.

• Via Central Expressway (E04): 2.5 – 3 hours. This is the fastest and most recommended route. It is a modern, controlled-access highway that bypasses most town centers and heavy traffic.
• Via Old A1 Route: 3.5 – 4.5 hours (or more). This route goes through towns like Kadawata, Warakapola, and Kegalle. It is very scenic but is prone to significant traffic delays, especially during weekends and public holidays.

Pro Tip: Always request your driver to take the Central Expressway (E04). While there are toll fees (see below), the time and comfort saved are well worth the cost.the safest bet.
