Delhi to Sri Lanka Travel Vlog Day 1: Exploring Colombo to Kandy 🇱🇰

Day 1 of our Sri Lanka journey turned out to be an adventure! 🇱🇰 We flew out of New Delhi and landed at Colombo’s Bandaranaike International Airport around 4:00 PM. From sorting out arrival essentials to navigating airport transport, things got chaotic quickly—between overpriced airport tuk-tuk scams and getting completely stuck trying to figure out the local bus route, we ended up having to pivot and hire a cab straight up to Kandy. If you are planning a trip from India to Sri Lanka, this video covers real ground realities: airport arrival, transport options, avoiding scams right outside the terminal, and the night drive into the central hills of Kandy.

Plan transfers in advance if heading straight to Kandy. • Airport Tuk-Tuks: Avoid taking tuk-tuks directly outside the international terminal without agreed metered rates or an app (PickMe / Uber), as prices quoted can be 3x to 5x higher. • Highway to Kandy: The central expressway sections cut down travel time significantly compared to local buses at night. --- FOLLOW THE JOURNEY: 📸 Instagram: ‪@explorewithalpha‬ #SriLanka #SriLankaTravelVlog #DelhiToSriLanka #ColomboToKandy #TravelVlog #SriLankaDay1 #ColomboAirport #KandyVlog #explorewithalpha
