It's important to know

What currency should I carry during the tour, and are credit cards widely accepted?

The local currency in Sri Lanka is the Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR). While credit cards are accepted at many hotels and restaurants, it's a good idea to carry some cash, especially for smaller purchases and in more remote areas.

Is there a dress code for visiting temples or religious sites in Sri Lanka?
What should I wear for the wildlife safari in Yala National Park?
