Do not attempt to drive into the Kandy city center during the Perahera days. The entire lake road and Dalada Maligawa area are heavily barricaded by police starting at 3 PM. Park your tuk-tuk at your guesthouse in the hills (like Hanthana or Ampitiya) and walk down, or take a local bus. The traffic gridlock is unimaginable.

Even if you find parking, getting out after the parade ends at midnight takes hours. Walking is the only sane option.
