Flight or coast connection after the parade. Better to hold a private van outside the barrier ring tonight, or overnight in Kandy and move to Negombo or CMB Monday.

Overnight Kandy is calmer unless your flight forces a night move. If you must leave tonight, pre-agree a pickup outside the ring and walk out to the driver — do not expect them inside the barriers.

Post-parade Grab surge is real. A pre-booked van with a clear outside pin beats app roulette.

Solo travelers especially should prefer the overnight unless the flight is immovable.
