Borella rites 5pm Saturday - Saturday night into Colombo misses the funeral or still a traffic leftover

Asked 27 days agoSeen by 7 travellers

Nanda Malini remains Nugegoda until Saturday 3.30, Borella rites Saturday 5pm. If we go Colombo Saturday night after 6.28 we land after that. Partner still thinks Colombo will be a funeral car-park at 22:00. If we go Saturday afternoon we hit 5pm. Which clock actually eats the road.

Mourning 21-23 Aug; remains Nugegoda until Sat 3.30 PM, Borella Sat 5 PM. That is a Saturday afternoon Colombo problem, especially Borella / inner-south, not a gazette that Saturday 22:00 is closed. Saturday night after 6:28 misses the rites. Saturday afternoon meets them. Mourning is still not a Perahera cancellation and not a liquor gazette we found at 11.

If you must be in Colombo Saturday afternoon, pad time around 15:00-18:00 and do not invent a road closure we have not seen. If you come after 6:28, you are a tired night road (1,749), not a funeral.
