What to Pack

• Pack for heat and humidity. Cotton clothes are useful at any time of the year but you will need light woolen for the Hill country and waterproof clothing or an umbrella.

• Long-sleeve shirts might be advisable after dusk because of mosquitoes.

• Daytime coastal temperatures generally range from 27-32C (81 -90 F), slightly cooler in the hill country, especially Nuwara Eliya (AC; Temp: 59F), where a light sweater is frequently required at night.

• As you are visiting the cultural and religious sites, it is a must that you wear appropriate clothing. Gents are required to wear trousers to cover their knees or a "sarong" with a shirt or T-shirt. Ladies should ideally wear decent attire such as a trouser or a skirt to cover the knees and a blouse or t-shirt. It may not be advisable for ladies to wear deep necked or a sleeveless top during visits to religious places.

Electricity

• Adapters: As Sri Lanka uses a range of sockets, so your full range of travel adapters may come in useful. Specialized Sri Lankan adapters can be bought in major hotels and many shops. US sockets tend to be used, although older hotels, especially in the hill country, may use UK sockets.

• If you travel with a laptop computer bring a stabilizer.

Medical Facilities

Communication

• If you carry medicine use during your holiday, Always keep sufficient amount for a week in your hand luggage as it helps you in case if your luggage is misplaced.

• If you have a Camera/iPad or a tab please take pic's of your baggage before it is handed over to the counter as it helps you in case of a claim.

• If you have cloths with a Buddha image printed or Pendants please don't bring or use during your stay in Sri Lanka. In case you have a tattoo of Buddha image please make sure you cover it all the time as it is an offence in my country.

* Please make sure that you bring some shirts in white color to wear during visits to the temples! Especially during the visit to tooth relic temple of Buddha! At least avoid using bright colored tops during visits to religious places.
