Sri Lanka, despite all the war and conflict that tore it apart for a time, remains one of the most colourful and beautiful countries full of culture and history. Here are some important pointers to consider before you visit so you can make the most of your trip.
1. It takes a lot of Time
Despite being just 430 km in length and 220 km wide, travelling within Sri Lanka due to the continuously changing landscape is rather time-consuming. Keep this in mind when you are planning trips and always ask about the possible timeframe it may take, not just the distances.
2. There’s So Much to See and Do
There is so much to see and do despite it being such a small country which would end up being quite a dilemma for you. Which is why it’s always recommended to investigate Sri Lanka travel packages.
3. It’s Completely Safe
Sri Lanka came back swinging after a very long civil war and despite the occasional political unrest, tourists are very rarely in any danger. If you go deep into areas that are not popular tourist haunts you will find the people friendly and helpful.
4. It’s Cheap to Travel
Public transport in Sri Lanka is very cheap and you can take a bus anywhere in the country. If you want to hire a car it might cost you more, so be sure to ask about transport at SoulTrek Sri Lanka or any other tour agency you are going with.
5. Many Climates and Two Monsoons
Sri Lanka’s climate pattern changes dramatically depending on where you are in the country. There are also two monsoons during which there’s quite a lot of heavy rain. Read up on the weather before you make your plans.
