Within a mere area of 65,610 kilometres lie 8 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, 1,330 kilometres of coastline - much of it pristine beach - 15 national parks showcasing an abundance of wildlife, nearly 500,000 acres of lush tea estates, 250 acres of botanical gardens, 350 waterfalls, 25,000 water bodies, to a culture that extends back to over 2,500 years.

This is an island of magical proportions, once known as Serendib, Taprobane, the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, and Ceylon.

Getting Around

Rail

Trains connect Colombo with all tourist towns, but first-class carriages, air conditioning and dining cars are available on only a few. Fast services operate on the principal routes, including an intercity express service between Colombo and Kandy, other journeys are fairly leisurely.

Bus

An extensive network of services to most parts of the Island is afforded with reasonable quality by the Sri Lanka Central Transport Board (website: www.transport.gov.lk). Long distance services are operated from Colombo at the Pettah Central Bus Depot. There are two services, one operated by the Sri Lanka Transport Board and the other operated by private bus companies. The private bus station is located close to the Central Depot. Most of the buses have air-conditioning. Buses to coastal towns depart every ½ an hour while Kandy is every 15 minutes.

Air

Charter flights can be arranged to some destinations in Sri Lanka.

Road

Traffic drives on the left.

Taxi

In Colombo, taxis are metered but it is advisable to agree a rate before setting off. Uber and the local substitute for Uber, known as Pick Me are efficient and price friendly taxi services to use.

Trishaws (Tuk tuks):

Ideal for short journeys within towns and cities, and for short excursions, the country’s many trishaws would be happy to offer you a ride. Most trishaws are not metered. Always agree on a fare beforehand. Most drivers offer a decent fare, charging approximately Rs. 50 per kilometer.

Car hires:

This is available from several agencies. Air-conditioned minibuses are also available. Motorized rickshaws are also readily available for hire in towns and villages. Chauffeur-driven cars are less expensive and recommended.

Regulations / Documentation

Most roads are tarred, with a 56kph (35mph) speed limit in built-up areas and 75kph (45mph) outside towns. The minimum age for driving a car is 18. In order to avoid bureaucratic formalities in Sri Lanka, an International Driving Permit should be obtained before departure.

Travel & Health Tips


Sri Lanka's Currency

The local currency is the Sri Lankan Rupee, divided into 100 cents (you rarely come across scents today). Currency notes are Rs. 5,000, Rs2,000, Rs1,000, Rs500, Rs100, Rs50, Rs20 and Rs10. Beware of mistaking the Rs500 note for the somewhat similar Rs100 one. To check whether notes are genuine when not given at a bank, look for a lion watermark. Coins, should you have received them, will be in denominations up to Rs10. Ensure you have plenty of lower denomination notes (Rs50, Rs100, Rs500), especially when travelling and you need to buy small items, fruit, and eat cheap meals, because change is often hard to come by apart from at hotels and big shops.

 

Banks

Banks are open from 0900 hrs. to 1300 hours Monday to Friday. Some city banks close at 1500 hrs., while some are open on Saturday mornings. It’s easy to withdraw money across the island at ATMs using international credit cards or debit cards.

 

Credit Cards

Most hotels, restaurants and shopping centers accept credit cards.

 

What To Wear

Cotton clothes are useful at any time of the year but you will need light woolens for the hills and waterproof clothing or an umbrella. Modest dress for women is advisable especially off the beach and when visiting religious sites. Don't forget comfortable shoes, sandals or trainers and cotton socks. If you are planning to trek and climb go prepared with suitable gear. Water sports enthusiasts would do well to take their snorkels and diving equipment along.

 

Time Difference

Sri Lanka Standard Time is five and a half hours ahead of GMT. (Allowance should be made for summer-time changes in Europe.).

 

Electricity

230 . 240 volts, 50 cycles AC. If you travel with a laptop computer bring a stabilizer

Health Tips


Water

Tap water is generally not safe to drink.

 

Sunburn

When you flop onto the beach or poolside lounger for a spot of sunbathing, always remember to apply a sunscreen product with a sun protection factor of at least 15. Remember you are just 600km from the equator.

 

Heatstroke

To avoid heatstroke, take plenty of bottled water to the beach, or buy a thambili (king coconut) from an itinerant seller.

 

Prickly Heat

Prickly heat rash occurs when your sweat glands become clogged after being out in the heat for too long or from excessive perspiration. The rash appears as small red bumps or blisters on elbow creases, groin, upper chest or neck. To treat it, take a cold shower, clean the rash with mild soap, dry yourself, apply hydrocortisone cream, and if possible, a product that contains salicylic acid. Repeat every three hours.

 

Local Health Care

Minor health problems can always be treated by doctors with practices in the resorts and elsewhere in the country. If you have a more serious problem, Colombo now boasts a selection of modern, well-equipped private hospitals offering the latest in conventional medical and surgical therapies. A growing number of foreigners are taking advantage of affordable, high quality private healthcare in Sri Lanka, and combining it with the chance to take a holiday. Though the medical tourism industry in Sri Lanka is still in its early days, a number of private hospitals in Colombo are geared to provide advanced surgery and other treatment to international clients.

Tourist Attractions

Hambantota was the centre of a flourishing civilization and hive of cultural and economic activity around 200 BCE. The area was renowned for its natural harbor where travellers from China, Siam and Indonesia sought safe anchorage. The large boats in which they travelled were called ‘Sampan’. With the addition of ‘thota’, which means harbour in Sinhalese, the area came to be called Sampanthota, which evolved into the current Hambantota. The district has a tropical savannah climate, with an average temperature of 26.6 °C/79.9 °F and annual rainfall of 1,045 mm/41.1 inches. Hambantota is home to many wonders of nature and culture.

Blowholes or marine geysers are a rare phenomenon worldwide. They are likely to occur along the coastline where there are crevices with vertical shafts. The hydraulic compression of sea waves, bursts forth at the top of the crevice, resulting in a spectacular shower of water accompanied by a loud noise. Hummanaya is the only known blowhole in Sri Lanka, which is also considered the second largest in the world. Seawater is forced upwards for about 40 meters through a fissure in the rock, after which it shoots out to a height of about 30 metres into the air.

The hot springs are located in the Madunagala hermitage. According to legend, around 5th century BCE, Buddhist monks from a nearby temple were told in a dream about the hot springs whose waters could heal them of their incurable rash. This site consists of six hot springs, which derive their temperature due to heat from the earth’s mantle – scientifically called geo-thermal heat. The temperatures range from 34º C to 46º C. Water from these hot springs, believed to have healing powers, contain 22 minerals, including sulphate, nitrate, sodium, calcium, chloride, etc. Separate changing rooms are available for males and females.
