Transportation
Travel in Sri Lanka can be done by train, especially on the scenic hill country routes. The bus network is extensive but can be crowded. Tuk-tuks (three-wheelers) are common in towns for short trips. For long distances and more flexibility, hiring a car with a driver is a popular option.
Specialty cuisine
Sri Lankan cuisine is famous for its rice and curry combinations, which offer a wide variety of flavorful dishes. Staples include coconut, spices, and chili. Must-try foods include kottu roti (chopped flatbread), hoppers (bowl-shaped pancakes), and a vast array of fresh seafood.
Etiquette and Tipping
- A 10% service charge is often included in restaurant bills. For drivers and guides, tipping is customary for good service.
- The traditional greeting is 'Ayubowan,' said with hands pressed together in a prayer-like gesture and a slight bow. When visiting temples, always dress modestly, covering shoulders and knees.
