List of top 5 things you must know about Sri Lanka



Prior to you decide to invest your vacation in Sri Lanka there are very important things to know:

Sri Lanka currency

Sri Lankan rupee (LKR) is a currency formally utilized however United States dollars are also typically accepted. Entry tickets to numerous historical websites are very often priced quote in dollars-- as they are relatively high. We found the best method of getting currency in Sri Lanka was simply by withdrawing Sri Lankan Rupees from an ATM-which are situated at the airport, in a lot of cities and towns. It's very useful to have small change helpful for bus and train tickets, tuk-tuk flights etc.

Sri Lanka language

There are numerous languages spoken in Sri Lanka however Sinhala and Tamil are official ones. It's reasonably easy to interact in English-- particularly in hotels and around touristy locations. In fact many people will approach you and attempt to speak English as a way of practicing and enhancing their language abilities. Bus chauffeurs and tuk-tuk owners normally don't speak much English-it helps to compose down the name and address of the place you desire to get to prevent any confusion.

Sri Lanka religion

Sri Lanka is among the most religious nations worldwide. Around 70% of Sri Lankans are Buddhist. Other religions include Hinduism, Islam and Christianity, respectively. You can truly notice that when checking out Sri Lanka on your vacation - many traveler attractions are places of praise for regional individuals. Especially during among the many religious holidays. When we were there in June, Poson Full Moon Poya Day (commemorates intro of Buddhism) was celebrated so there were crowds of worshippers, whole households at the spiritual sites and on the streets-- it seemed like it's a big thing for everybody in Sri Lanka

Precautions against malaria in Sri Lanka

From the map you can see that there is 'variable risk of malaria' only in the far northern part of Sri Lanka and 'no to really small threat' in other places. During our 15 days backpacking journey we didn't travel that far north so we decided not to take any antimalarials. We signed in various places we went to, and were informed that there had been no reported cases of Malaria. Instead we took a couple of precautions: brought with us Malarone tablets simply in case (as our trip around Asia was in overall over 3 months long); used mosquito repellents; wore long pants and sleeves whenever possible to protect from mosquito bites.

At the end we hardly got any mosquito bites on our holiday in Sri Lanka in June, but mosquito prevalence may differ depending on the time of the year. We also chatted to lots of fellow visitors that we satisfied, and the majority of them did not take any antimalarials.

Hotel scheduling in Sri Lanka

We tended to discover the finest deals on great hotels with Swan Tours - frequently booking the day previously as we decided our plans. If you plan to stay in one location, or are visiting Sri Lanka in peak season then it may be recommended to book even more ahead. We have the tendency to speak to other travelers and change our strategies as we find out more about a place, and carry on when we are prepared.

Stone carving, textiles, printing, silverware and wood and metalwork of a sophisticated quality were all produced for the pleasure of the elite.

Two things strike you in Jaisalmer, the colour and richness of garments worn both by men and women and th
