Preparing for this tour:
Please bring your sunscreens for all tours. While you can buy sunscreen in Sri Lanka, it may not be your brand, or could be a local brand you might be reluctant to use.
It is advisable to bring a waist pack or a money belt to safeguard your valuables during city tours and walking across congested areas.
Longs or a piece of cloth such as a sarong/longi will be necessary to enter sacred areas such as temples. It is wise to keep them ready.
Sri Lanka is a tropical country. Therefore you will need to drink a lot of water. Keep your water bottles ready.
General instructions to follow during this tour:

Customizing this tour
We are happy to customize this tour. However there are some important factors in that regard:
We can add or remove any attraction in this itinerary. But that will either change the order of attractions, or incur extra costs depending on factors such as extra distance added, changes to hotels, and any entrance fees.
If you remove an attraction without a substitute thus removing one day, then we are happy to pass on to you whatever the money saved by that.
Tour customization is only recommended before finalizing your tour and confirmation. We will try our best to accommodate your requests for changes even after confirmation but we have the right to decide how far it could be done, if at all.
Accommodation.
We reserve twin or double rooms for your stay.
You must inform us in advance of any other plans such as triple rooms.
Single rooms can be reserved at an extra cost.
