Busses to Kandy run 24 hours per day from the Central Bus Stand in Colombo Fort area, leaving every 15 minutes between 4am and midnight, with a slightly reduced service through the night.

If you’re making the journey from Colombo to Kandy you might find it more comfortable to take the train, in particular the Expo Rail route, which operated air-conditioned carriages with WiFi! You can also book online here  (We have no affiliation to Expo Rail and don’t get any incentive to put this here.. we just think you might prefer to travel that way rather than on the Colombo to Kandy road, which can be an ‘experience’ to say the least….)
