Kandy tuktuk scams and temple rules

Question

We arrived in Kandy and tuktuks are asking crazy prices for the temple What are the rules for fair transport

Gayan K. · Accepted Answer

The rule in Kandy is that tuktuks must use meters but many refuse. If you are going to the Temple of the Tooth just walk if you are in the city center or use an app. Never pay more than 400 LKR for a short city trip.
