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.
