    Asked on September 1st, 2023

    What are the best network connections in Sri Lanka covering all locations ?

    Transport
    • showlanka toursOperatorWritten September 2023

      To name a few of the network providers in Sri Lanka, Dialog, Mobitel, Airtel and Hutch are well known. Sri Lanka's most popular and largest network providing partner is dialog. But what is more appropriate for a traveller, as of the best coverage is Hutch. On arrival, travellers can buy sim cards from the counters in the airport according to their preference.

    How much does food cost and is it too spicy?

    Meals
    • showlanka toursOperatorWritten September 2023

      From a standard restaurant, lunch/dinner buffet or an ala carte can be bought for around 10$-12$. Rice along with Sri Lankan cuisines are available in plenty of shops much cheaper than standard restaurants but those are too spicy.

  • M

    Maria

    Asked on September 1st, 2023

    Can I pay foreign currency for archaeological sites and national parks entrances?

    Payments
    • showlanka toursOperatorWritten September 2023

      Major archaeological sites such as Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, Anuradhapura accept foreign currency and all national parks only accept Sri Lankan currency. So you can avoid inconveniences by having both currencies with you.

  • M

    Marilyn

    Asked on September 1st, 2023

    What is the best place to change my foreign currency?

    Other
    • showlanka toursOperatorWritten September 2023

      Mainly you can change from any bank at the airport arrival terminal and authorized agencies in major cities.

  • L

    Liam

    Asked on September 1st, 2023

    Can I use my credit or debit cards for local sites?

    Payments
    • showlanka toursOperatorWritten September 2023

      It is very difficult. Card payments cannot be made at any local sites controlled by the government agencies. For example, Elephant Orphanage/National parks, Sigiriya fortress etc. Card payments can only be made at certain stations for tourism activities promoted by private agencies. The best way is keeping cash on hand.
