Sri Lanka at a glance - as a world renowned tourist destination



Being the pearl of the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka is a splendor of nature with a vast number of tourist attractions. Even though it can be called such a tiny island by the size of the land, Sri Lanka is on the top of the list of the best tourist attraction sites not only in Asia but in the whole world. The country is highly blessed by nature with endless golden beaches, misty mountains, greenish lawns, unique wildlife, preserved culture and tradition plus favorable weather. Further, Sri Lankan people are almost extremely hospitable by nature hence the tourists could enjoy the best hospitality services while vacating in Sri Lanka Travel.  

As a tropical country, the coastal area of the island has a typical hot weather while the central highlands have a cooler weather and high humidity throughout the year.   However, as an overall, the climate is not too hot neither too cold in any part of the country hence travelers don’t need to be specially prepared for any typical weather condition during their Sri Lanka Travel. Preferably you should wear light clothing and it’s advisable to dress conservatively specially while visiting the religious places. 

When it comes to religions and cultures, the main nationality is Sinhalese and Buddhism is the most commonly practiced religion, followed by Hinduism, Catholics, Muslims, Christians etc. Sinhala is the mother language of the country yet Tamil and English languages are also commonly used here. Therefore, a foreign visitor could easily adapt and blend up with the society during their visit to Sri Lanka.

During your vacation, you can easily communicate and keep in touch with your loved ones as anyone can easily obtain a local mobile phone connection to make both local and IDD calls at extremely affordable rates. The telephone recharge cards can be purchased from any grocery store island wide.  Further, you may even purchase mobile phones at cheap prices from here. In addition, there are so many cyber cafes, post offices and courier services as well.

Health care is always a top priority in Sri Lanka Travel for locals and tourists both. Water is good enough to drink but it is advisable to consume bottled drinking water whenever possible. It is always ideal to choose reputed hotels in order to enjoy the standard and hygienic facilities during your stay in Sri Lanka. Medical facilities are readily available in both government and private hospitals throughout the country. Hospitals are well equipped with all modern medical facilities plus well trained and highly qualified staff.

Constant electricity supply is available in almost every part of the island hence you can easily keep up your essential routine tasks such as watching television, charging mobile phone and laptop computer etc. 

The national currency in Sri Lanka is ‘Sri Lankan Rupees’. It’s much better to exchange your own currency in to Sri Lankan rupees during your stay so that it would make your transactions much easier. The currency exchange rates remain quite fair for the customers. 

Moreover, you can easily obtain a visa just upon your arrival which will be valid for 30 days yet could be extended if required by paying a small additional visa extension fee.

Other than sightseeing and relaxing, you would be able to get an unforgettable shopping experience in Sri Lanka, especially gems, tea, spices, batiks, leather goods, ceramics and garments as well.
