Travel Tips

Sri Lanka – Sri Lanka, officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, is an island nation in South Asia. It sits in the Indian Ocean, just southwest of the Bay of Bengal and southeast of the Arabian Sea. Known as “the pearl of the Indian Ocean” for its shape and setting, it blends British colonial heritage, lush scenery and very friendly people. Since the 26-year civil war ended in 2009, this tropical isle has attracted many more travellers.

Entry and Exit Formalities:

Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date. Some visitors can get a visa on arrival; others should apply in advance. For requirements and applications, visit the official Sri Lankan ETA website: www.eta.gov.lk.

Deciding how to travel around Sri Lanka is a major choice before you go. Our holiday experts can guide you on trains, buses, cars or tuk‑tuks based on your itinerary. You’ll also find many practical tips for getting around smoothly.

Money:

Use your funds smartly. Learn when to pay with cash or card, and how to avoid extra fees. Don’t forget to follow local tipping customs.

Phones and Technology:

Smartphones and gadgets can save time or drain your budget. Check our advice on using tech abroad, including calls home with or without your own SIM card.
