Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Kadugannawa?
The best area to stay in Kadugannawa is generally within the town centre or slightly elevated areas offering views of the surrounding landscapes.

It's where you'll find the local market, small shops, and eateries, giving you a sense of daily life. The main road, A1 (Kandy Road), runs through here, making it easy to access. While not a bustling metropolis, it provides direct access to local transport and services.

Couples looking for a more tranquil experience with scenic vistas might prefer accommodation a little outside the immediate town centre, often found on hillsides overlooking the Kadugannawa Pass.

This period is particularly good for couples or solo travellers who enjoy hiking and sightseeing without the interruption of heavy downpours.
