Frequently Asked Questions About Sri Lanka Tours
What is the best way to tour Sri Lanka?
Sri Lanka isn't a particularly large country, but there is a huge amount to see and do. To ensure you see all the highlights and don't waste any time during your trip, it's best to book a group tour. Whether you're keen to see the cultural attractions, or want an active adventure, a group tour will ensure that nothing is left out.
How many days are enough for Sri Lanka?
We recommend 14 days at least if you're visiting Sri Lanka for the first time. A fortnight gives you enough time to see all the highlights of this wonderful island, and gives you plenty of opportunity to visit different areas and try a mix of activities.
What is the best time to visit Sri Lanka?
The best time to visit Sri Lanka depends on which parts of the island you'll be exploring. High season is December to April, and it's the best time to visit if you want to go to the beach as the south and west of the country are dry during these months. If you want to visit the north and east, visit during low season in May to August fo good weather and fewer crowds.
How much will it cost to tour Sri Lanka?
The cost of your holiday to Sri Lanka depend on whether you choose to stay in budget or luxury accommodation, what activities you'll be doing, and how long you're visiting for. On average, tours with TourRadar start from $100 per person per day.

Tips
- Tamil and Sinhala are the two official languages of Sri Lanka. English is spoken widely.
- The currency of Sri Lanka is the Sri Lankan Rupee. ATM’s are common and credit cards are widely accepted.
- Tipping around 10% is generally expected in Sri Lanka.
- Don’t leave Sri Lanka without an elephant statue, a saris and a wooden devil mask.
- Try one of the many small cafes, confusingly called 'Hotels', for a cheap lunch. Drink bottled water only.
- Sri Lanka is hot! Stick to natural fibres and loose layers. Cover your shoulders when visiting religious sites.
- Never take a photo with your back to a statue of Buddha. It’s considered very disrespectful.
- Sri Lankan police will arrest and may deport people sporting tattoos of Buddha.
Sri Lanka Trip Reviews
"Everything about this trip was perfect. There was a great combination of sights and activities like walking, cycling, dancing, cooking, riding public and private trasnport and visiting coconut plantation. The itinerary includes places that were stunning and we got to see Sri Lanka at its finest and it also gave us flexibility to decide what we wanted to join at certain parts of the tour. Our tour guide (Indika) was also awesome and took good care of us until the end of the tour. All in all it was trip of a lifetime with great location, stunning views, fun activities and an amazing guide. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to have the same fantastic experience as we did."
Best of Sri Lanka"The tour to Sri Lanka was incredible because of our amazing tour guide which gave us lots of information about the culture of Sri Lanka. However, I woud have prefered if the guide took us to places with authentic food considering it's called Spices of Ceylon and there was not enough option given apart from hotel food."
Spicy Sri Lanka"Everything about the tour was well organized from the accommodation, the transportation and the tour guide. The meals were great, the transportation were superb and the tour guide was the best ever. I definitely recommend this trip to everyone who loves to travel and experience the beauty of Sri Lanka."
