Recommended Travel Adaptor for Kandy
After extensive testing on the road and careful checks on safety, durability, functionality and cost, this adaptor proved to be the most reliable choice.
Didn’t pack an adaptor? You can still grab one when you arrive. Still, it’s better to bring your own than risk paying too much for something unreliable.
Kandy is often combined with regional travel to India and the Maldives. It’s a good idea to check the adaptor info — standards can differ slightly.
Sockets in Kandy
The plug types you’ll find in Kandy are Type D and G plugs and sockets.
Type D
Type D sockets have three large round pins in a triangular shape. Unlike Type G, they lack a fuse and the pins are round rather than rectangular.
Type G
Type G sockets have three rectangular pins arranged in a triangular pattern, with a built-in fuse for safety. They are the standard used in the United Kingdom.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Voltage converters are only necessary if there’s a mismatch. In Kandy the mains supply is more or less the same as in the UK, so you’re fine.
Always check the voltage label before you plug in abroad. If it reads ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, your kit will work just fine without a converter — most modern laptops, tablets and chargers already do.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
Travelling can be unpredictable, but these little items give you peace of mind. A luggage scale means no nasty shocks at the airport desk, a power bank saves you when plugs are nowhere to be found, and packing cubes stop your things from getting muddled. We’ve used them on plenty of trips and can vouch for them.
