How to travel from Kandy to Kadugannawa easily by bus.
1 Answer from travellers
Traveling from Kandy to Kadugannawa by bus is incredibly easy and cheap. Simply go to the Kandy Goods Shed bus terminal and hop on any bus heading towards Colombo. Literally every Colombo bound bus must drive directly through the Kadugannawa pass. The journey takes only about 30 to 40 minutes, and you can just ask the conductor to drop you off right near the Dawson Tower.
Scam Watch: kandy
TukTuk or tour drivers take you to "gem museums" or "government-certified" gem shops. They receive huge commissions (up to 40%) on anything you buy. Prices are inflated 3-10x the actual value.
Men approach tourists near Temple of the Tooth offering to be guides. After the tour, they demand large "donations" or guide fees (5000-10000 LKR).
