IMPORTANT NOTES

  • Your accommodation, meal plan and transfers are tailored to your preferences & budget
  • Bring cool & comfortable clothing!
  • Sunscreen, flip flops, walking shoes and insect repellent will always come in handy!
  • At all religious sites in Sri Lanka everyone is expected to dress respectfully in modest light coloured clothing, with shoulders & knees covered. No hats or footwear are allowed inside temples, so flip flops (which you would have to leave at the entrance) and an extra pair of socks are a good idea so you do not have to walk barefoot on the hot ground.
  • Beach destinations may vary based on time of travel.
