Tap a checkpoint to see what you’ll spot from the window.
Your route: Fort → Galle Road → Kollupitiya → Liberty Plaza roundabout → Duplication Road → De Fonseka Road. This matches published reports on Colombo’s one-way (uniflow) plan say Colombo-bound traffic uses Galle Road while buses leaving Colombo use the parallel Duplication Road between Kollupitiya and Dickmans Road, and that De Fonseka Mawatha joins Duplication Road. The alarm needs exact coordinates for Tashan Lounge: open your Google Maps link in Chrome, then paste the full address-bar link or the lat, lng pair in the alarm section below (or use “Use my current spot” while standing there).
