2 Nights 3 Days Sri Lankan Essentials Tour

Sri Lanka offers significantly lower entrance fees for citizens of SAARC countries (including India).

• Requirement: Your guests must carry their original Indian Passport to every ticket counter.
• Savings: At sites like the Temple of the Tooth or Pinnawala, they can save roughly 50% compared to standard foreigner prices. Your chauffeur will handle the communication at the counters to ensure they get the correct rate.

Yes! Sri Lanka has a large Hindu population, especially in the Hill Country (Kandy and Nuwara Eliya).

• Options: You will find many “Pure Veg” restaurants serving South Indian staples like Dosa, Idli, and Sambar.
• Budget Tip: Instead of expensive hotel buffets, ask the chauffeur to stop at “Hela Bojun” outlets. These are clean, government-run stalls where fresh vegetarian snacks and meals are available at very low, fixed prices.

The weather changes drastically on this specific route:

• Kandy: Warm and humid; light cotton clothes are best. Note: Shoulders and knees must be covered to enter the Temple of the Tooth.
• Nuwara Eliya: Much cooler (10°C–15°C) in the evenings.
• Essential: Guests should pack at least one light jacket or sweater and a small umbrella, as misty rain is common in the mountains.

Yes, that is the benefit of a private tour!

• Flexibility: Unlike a bus tour, guests can ask the chauffeur to stop for photos, a quick coconut water break, or a specific shop.
• Shopping: For budget-friendly souvenirs, the driver will prioritize government-owned shops like Laksala (fixed price) or the local markets in Pettah, ensuring guests avoid overpriced “tourist shops.”
