May I look up official sources (airport website / government records) on the web to verify and provide the exact, official address for Polgolla Reservoir Airport (KDZ)?
Arrive prepared: this tiny seaplane base has no exchange counters or ATMs, with the nearest machines and bank desks in central Kandy about 10–15 minutes away. You’ll get better rates in town than at hotels or big airports, so withdraw from major-bank ATMs or change cash at a city branch to save fees and time.
Small and straightforward, Polgolla Reservoir Airport has no duty‑free, so plan your shopping in Kandy or at Colombo’s main airport if you’re connecting. You’ll find the best tax‑free picks—perfume, liquor, chocolates, and tea—at the duty‑free in Colombo.
Think small seaplane stop: a tea-and-snacks counter and a simple kiosk serve Ceylon tea, bottled drinks, and Sri Lankan “short eats,” while proper sit-down meals are better found in Kandy a few minutes away. Prices are close to town, so it’s easy to grab a quick bite without paying a big airport premium.
Small and friendly, Polgolla Reservoir’s 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. Assistance for minor issues is free; medications, tests, and clinic visits are paid at city rates.
Lockers aren’t installed at Polgolla Reservoir Airport, but staff can sometimes mind a small bag during flight hours. For day or overnight storage, head 10–15 minutes into Kandy for the railway station cloakroom or a hotel concierge.
Settle into a simple lakeside pavilion by the jetty—the airport’s single waiting area—with shade, benches, and serene water views. There are no formal lounges; Wi‑Fi and outlets are limited, food and showers aren’t available, and hours follow flight schedules rather than 24/7.
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, it’s 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.
