Last tuk after first Kumbal was a twenty-minute argument - 110 hold for 6:41 or walk to Katukele
Driver last night started at a tourist story after the last elephant. Second Kumbal listed 6:41, same Peradeniya room. Do we pre-agree a 110 hold with a written number, walk toward Katukele until a 90 feels ordinary, or just let PickMe spin.

Write the return fare before you sit in the evening. After the last elephant, numbers get creative. Official hold talk is 110/90 - say 110 first, walk if they laugh. Do not debate in a closed street with tired kids.
Walk off the route first. Katukele or the lake car-park edge. Then pin PickMe. Closed streets make the app spin.
110 hold. Say the number before your bag hits the seat. Screenshot the plate if you pre-agree.
Peradeniya last kilometre crawls. Leave a buffer going in. Coming back, pay the silly last-bit rather than a pavement fight.
Agree both directions at the room in the afternoon with a driver you already like. Night market rates are a different animal.
Lewella is kinder than Peradeniya after drums if your room is that side. Still say 110.
