Small and friendly, Polgolla Reservoirâs seaplane terminal offers basic first aid from on-duty staff during flight hours, while full-service pharmacies and 24/7 hospitals are a short ride away in Kandy.

Polgolla Reservoir Airport (IATA: KDZ) is a small regional airstrip in central Sri Lanka that was established in the 1970s and operates with a single modest terminal, serving mainly light aircraft and charter operations. Although limited in size, itâs an important gateway for scenic flights and local charters serving nearby hill-country resorts, lying roughly 30 km from Kandy with road connections and limited shuttle or taxi options rather than frequent public transit. Travelers will find fees and fares generally affordable compared with larger Sri Lankan airports, and while KDZ is not a hub for scheduled carriers, it is commonly used by regional charter companies and private operators.
