Tuk from the lake to Peradeniya at 11 - still a real hop or the drivers all went inland
We are not sleeping in Peradeniya. We are not comparing a 10.30 overnight to a 7am gardens tuk. Friend's bag is still at a house past the gardens gate. We need a lake-to-Peradeniya hop at 11. Apps looked ordinary half an hour ago for three streets. Is 11pm still a tuk on the lake or did they all go inland when the relic went in.

An 11pm lake pin is a tired-driver problem (1,749). Old Peradeniya Road was a published corridor during the loop, not a promise it is a taxi rank at 23:00. I cannot swear whether any named app still has a car on the lake at 22:52. If a quote appears, pin inland of leftover cones, check the plate, cash as the app says. No invented fare. If nothing comes, the bag waits until morning.
Walk inland one street and hail there if you must. Do not start a hop on a cone line. Loud horns were banned during - still do not horn the precinct.
Lake was empty of tuks at 10.55. Inland had one. We left the bag. Morning was cheaper on the nerves. No invented fare.
Leaving the bag. Not hailing on a cone line. Morning is cheaper on the nerves.
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).
