It is located along the Kandy-Jaffna A9 highway approximately 4 km (2.5 mi) from the city center of Kandy. Katugastota is one of the three main entry points to the city of kandy. Two major Highways (A9 and A10) meet at the center of the city which makes Katugastota one of the busiest suburbs in Kandy district.
