Leaving Kandy Monday when offices and school traffic restart after the festival weekend. What is a sensible plan — leave before the first wave, or wait until mid-morning when the rush thins.

Leave before the first school and office wave if you hate sitting still. Mid-morning only helps if your bags and checkout are slow.

Build one junction buffer into the plan. Monday after Perahera week is rarely the map ETA.

Agree a flexible pickup window with the driver. Rigid minutes create stress before you even leave town.
