Surrounded by the blue waves of the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka is attracted by its beautiful landscape, rich cultural heritage, and historic sites. This island country has plenty to offer every traveller, from the tea estates of Nuwara Eliya to the busy streets of Colombo. However, before you start to trip to Sri Lanka, here are some insider tips to make your journey even more enriching
Consider the dry season (December to May) for sunshine and beach pleasure, or chase waterfalls and landscapes during the monsoons (June to November).
Obtain your Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) online for an effortless arrival.
Carry Sri Lankan Rupees (LKR) and consider pre-ordering some currency. ATMs are readily available in most major towns.
Pack lightweight, loose-fitting clothing that covers your shoulders and knees when visiting temples and religious sites.
Prepare for cobbled streets, sandy beaches, and treks with versatile shoes and sandals.
A reusable water bottle, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a universal travel adapter are all deemed necessary.
Remove shoes and headwear before entering religious sites. Be mindful of noise and respectful towards devotees while exploring.
Simple Sinhalese greetings like "Ayubowan" (hello) and "Istuti" (thank you) go a long way.
Look for small shops, homestays, and family-run restaurants for authentic experiences and ethical tourism.
Savor the fiery flavors of Sri Lankan cuisine, but start mild and adjust to your tolerance.
