r/kandy

Guys, I've few foreigners staying with me and they want to get some liquor, but seems like all pubs are closed in Kandy, any place outside kandy which we can try?

I am visiting with a few friends, and want tickets for the Perahera, everywhere I ask I am being offered them at prices above Rs. 15 000, I was hoping for a recommendation where I can hope to get 4 tickets for a better deal. I will be traveling through the city on the 20th of August. Appreciate any assistance, thanks!

Does anyone have any idea where I could sell them?

Please means alot…. And also Mod pls dont remove this.

Are there any parks in or around Kandy to do pullups and bodyweight workouts?

Hi all, hoping some locals or nomads can help me out.

I'm a tourist travelling in Sri Lanka and have an important job interview via video call this Wednesday at 13:30. I'm currently in the hill country (Haputale) where the connection has been unstable, calls drop every few minutes, so I need to move somewhere with a proper line. I'm weighing up Kandy or Colombo.

I don't need anything fancy, just one hour where the connection absolutely does not fail, ideally somewhere quiet and private enough that I'm not sitting in an open room with people walking behind me.

A few questions:

1. Kandy: how bad will things be with the Perahera starting on the 18th? I'm mainly worried about the mobile networks being overloaded and rooms being scarce. Are there coworking spaces there with a private booth or meeting room? I've seen Office One and ARCADE mentioned.
2. Colombo: which space would you actually trust for a call that can't drop? Likuid, Co Spaces, Catalyst by HUB9, Hatch, anyone used their booths or meeting rooms or One office in Kandy?
3. Any budget hotel or guesthouse in either city where the in-room wifi is genuinely solid? Under about 30 EUR.

Grateful for any advice. I have Tuesday free to go test whatever i ook.

Thank you!!

Looking for recommendations for a good makeup artist in Kandy for party/event makeup.

I’ve Googled a few places, but most seem to have mixed reviews. I also recently saw a salon with 4+ Google ratings getting quite a bit of criticism on social media, so I’d rather hear from people who have personally used and had a good experience with a makeup artist.

It’s for an evening function, and preferably somewhere around Kandy city centre, as the event is near Radisson Kandy.

Please share your recommendations and, if possible, your experience with them. Thanks! 😊

Has Kandy got an equivalent to Colombo's liberty plaza?

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to meet my girlfriend in Kandy and I’m looking for a safe, clean, and affordable place to stay near Kandy Railway Station.

Ideally, I’m looking for somewhere that:

• Is close to the railway station or easy to reach
• Is in a safe area
• Is clean and well-maintained
• Has reasonable prices
• Has helpful/reliable staff
• Budget less than 5k for a day

If you know any good hotels, guesthouses, or other accommodation around Kandy that you’ve personally had a good experience with, please recommend them.

Also, are there any areas or places around the railway station that I should avoid?

Thanks!

Not very cheap and not very expensive

I don't got money for a cafe tho.

I'm 26 M, about to graduate from uni and working full time as well. I'm a bit of an introvert, but I'd like to meet some new people around Kandy.

Looking for something where people can meet up, have good conversations, talk about interesting or random topics, get to know each other and maybe do some fun stuff together too, like games, outings or casual meetups.

Not really sure where to find something like this around Kandy, so thought I'd ask here.

Had an eye contact with a beautiful girl dark skin accompanied with a muslim girl near queens hotel and raja veediya. I was wearing a black hoodie and a puma cap. Well in case if you happen to see this 👋

Hello everyone,

Are there any reliable sites for booking private buses or shared tax from Sigiriya to Kandy?

Also, I'll need to go to Mirrisa from ella so looking for shard taxi or minivans.
