Accepted practical take for Kandy: Carry small LKR for tickets, shoe storage, and short tuks around Kandy. Cards fail more than blogs admit. Specifically on market shopping bargaining, confirm opening hours and whether you need a guide or ticket-desk cash.

Constraint: backpack only and preferring public transport into Kandy. Does that change the market shopping bargaining advice or is a driver still smarter for that piece?

Also useful around Kandy: For market shopping bargaining, confirm last entry / last jeep / last boat the afternoon before — surprises are common at Kandy.
