Bags mostly packed. Final Kumbal just ended on the official streams. Can we roll toward Colombo tonight, or will the exit roads stay clogged another hour after return.

Doable if you leave from an open approach and accept slow first kilometres. Not a Sunday-morning station story - this is tonight after the end.

Another full hour of total lock is unlikely once the cortege is back, but expect sticky junctions near town.

If anyone is exhausted, sleep and leave at dawn. Pushing tired drivers into post-festival traffic is the real risk.
