Sri Lanka travel guide
Why Sri Lanka is worth the trip
Sri Lanka is a small island with a lot of variety: ancient temples and the sacred Temple of the Tooth in Kandy, cool tea country in the hills, wildlife, and long golden beaches. For Hindu travellers from Nepal, places linked to the Ramayana, such as the Sita Amman Temple, make it a special trip.
Five days covers Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, a beach and Colombo. With more time you can add Sigiriya, Dambulla, or a few nights in the Maldives, about an hour's flight away.

Before you fly
Nepali passport holders need a Sri Lanka ETA (electronic travel authorisation) before the flight; our packages include it. Your passport must be valid for six months. The local money is the rupee; cards work in hotels and big shops, but carry cash for small places.
Visiting temples
Wear clothes that cover your shoulders and knees, take off shoes and hats before entering, and never pose with your back to a Buddha statue for photos. White clothes are best for the Temple of the Tooth.
Best time to visit Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka has two monsoons, so one side of the island is usually dry. December to April is best for the west and south coasts (Bentota, Colombo) and the hill country. May to September is better for the east coast. Kandy and the tea country can be visited all year, with cool evenings in Nuwara Eliya.
