  • Bring USD; new, crisp $100 bills with blue security lines often fetch favorable exchange rates. Converting currency to Rupees upon arrival remains highly convenient.
Weather & Packing
  • Coastal averages stay around 26-32°C, but hill country spots like Nuwara Eliya can drop down to 10-15°C.
  • Pack warm layers/jackets for the mountains, and high-factor sunscreen, hats, and glasses for sunny zones.

  • Waiters: At least 500 rupees, or 250 rupees if a standard 10% service charge is pre-applied.
