How much do Kandy Perahera tickets cost for foreigners.
We want reserved seats to watch the massive elephant parade. What is a fair price.

Reserved seating for the Kandy Esala Perahera is highly commercialized. Official balcony seats along the main parade route usually cost foreign tourists between 50 to 100 USD depending on the specific night and the view.
If you do not want to pay you can technically watch for free from the pavement but you must claim a spot sitting on the hard concrete by midday and wait in the scorching heat for eight hours before the parade actually begins.
The final Randoli Perahera night is always the most expensive and sells out months in advance. You must purchase tickets through reputable travel agencies or directly from major hotels along the route to avoid getting scammed.
