Taking a local bus from Kandy to the ancient Gadaladeniya Temple

Question

We want to visit the Gadaladeniya temple ruins outside Kandy but tuk tuks are charging 4000 LKR. Is there a public bus that goes near it.

Kamal S. · Accepted Answer

Yes! Go to the Kandy Goods Shed Bus Stand and catch the Kadugannawa bus (Route 644 or 652). It costs about 100 LKR. Tell the conductor you want to get off at the Gadaladeniya junction. From the main road, it is a pleasant 1.5 km walk uphill to the temple. It is a fantastic, cheap way to see the 14th-century ruins.

How long does the bus ride take from Kandy center.

Amali T. · Answer

You can also catch a local three-wheeler from the junction to the temple gates for about 300 rupees if you do not want to walk.

Sophia M. · Answer

We did this exact route. The walk uphill is totally fine, just bring water because it gets hot.

Kamal S. · Answer

About 30 to 40 minutes depending on the traffic leaving the city.
