Only one more night in us - last Kumbal Saturday 6.28 or first Randoli Sunday 6.44
We are wrecked. We can pay for one more Kandy night, not two. The earlier thread was is the 5th thicker or skip to Randoli. We are not asking thickness. We are asking energy. Last Kumbal tomorrow 6:28, or sleep Saturday, stand Sunday 6:44 first Randoli, skip the 5th. Which night is the one we actually spend.

Saturday 6:28 = last Kumbal (end of this phase). Sunday 6:44 = 1st Randoli (start of the next phase). They are not the same night with a different poster. If you can only buy one, pick the phase you care about. Randoli is the one people mean when they say "the big nights start." Kumbal Saturday is the last of what you just saw.
Energy-wise, Saturday is sooner. Sunday is 24 more hours of sleep and a town that has already done five Kumbals. Rooms for Sunday may tighten (other thread). Do not invent that Randoli is "twice as long."
We spent the one night on first Randoli after one Kumbal. Did not regret missing the last Kumbal. Someone else will tell you the opposite.
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).
