Frequently Asked & Question
Sri Lanka experiences two monsoon seasons affecting different parts of the island at different times. The best time for the west coast, south coast, and hill country (Colombo, Galle, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya) is generally from December to March. The best time for the east coast (Trincomalee, Arugam Bay) is from April/May to September. Overall, it's a year-round destination, but check weather patterns for specific regions you plan to visit.
Most nationalities require an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) to enter Sri Lanka for tourism. This can usually be obtained online through the official Sri Lanka ETA website prior to travel. Requirements can change, so it's essential to verify the latest information for your specific passport country well before your trip. Ensure your passport has at least 6 months validity.
The official currency is the Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR). Money can be exchanged at the Colombo airport (CMB), banks, and authorized money changers in major towns. ATMs are widely available in cities and tourist areas. Credit cards are accepted in hotels, larger restaurants, and shops, but carrying some cash is recommended for smaller vendors and markets.
Sri Lankan cuisine is known for its vibrant flavors and use of spices. Rice and curry is a staple, featuring various curries (vegetable, meat, fish) served with rice. Other popular dishes include hoppers (bowl-shaped pancakes), string hoppers (steamed rice noodles), kottu roti (chopped flatbread stir-fry), and delicious seafood along the coast. Food can be spicy, but milder options are usually available.
Sri Lanka is generally considered safe for tourists, and the locals are known for their hospitality. As with any travel, take standard precautions: be aware of your surroundings, secure your belongings, avoid displaying large amounts of cash, and use reputable transportation services. Stick to well-trodden tourist paths and follow advice from local authorities or your tour operator.
