THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU TRAVEL TO SRI LANKA:

• You need to get an online-visa before travelling to Sri Lanka
• There is no ferry available that takes you from India to Sri Lanka. You need to get into cruise for that.
• International Colombo Airport is not exactly in the city of Colombo. It is one hour away from the city.
• Don’t worry about language and translation issues. Mostly, English is used everywhere and you can communicate in this language to people.
• Do not order the western menu as it is very different from what you could ever imagine. Go for local food dishes of Sri Lanka, they are very tasty and must-have cuisine while you visit there.
• Respect the culture and beliefs of people and so do not speak anything against their culture as they can get offended by it.
• Do not forget to have the rice and curry of Sri Lanka that has an amazing spicy taste. They are world-famous.
• Plan before getting out of hotels. If you plan for the day, it would be easier to know how and when to travel with most comfort and less rush.
• Book your tickets way in advance if you are planning to visit any such place that needs pre-booking tickets. If you leave it for last minute, they charge high.
• Crowds and loud music are two things you will find almost everywhere. So research and then visit.
• Dress decently before visiting any prestigious places or holy places as you may not be allowed to enter in shorts or revealing clothes.
• Prefer tuk-tuks (known as auto-rickshaws in India) over taxi as they charge considerably less.
• Tea in Sri Lanka are often too sweet.
• There’s not an exciting night-life in Sri Lanka except for some of the night pubs and bars.
• The weather is hot and humid most of the time in the year so you do not need to carry any warm clothes.
• Sri-Lankan trains are fun and affordable. So travel by them as and where possible.
• You cannot get your Indian Rupee in Sri Lanka so get them converted before leaving for the trip.
