Hi there,

For our trip to Sri Lanka from July 31 to August 21, 2025, we can't seem to find a reliable price range on various blogs for intercity taxi rides without private drivers. We'd like to alternate between trains, buses, and taxis (for 2 people) and would love to get an idea of the going rates for taxis, as well as any company names based on your experiences. I checked out "12Go Asia"—has anyone used this site to book transport in Sri Lanka? Is it reliable? Thanks in advance, Have a great day!

Hi there,

We’re a family with kids aged 10 and 12, and we’ll be in Sri Lanka during the Kandy Esala Perahera. I’d love to know if it’s really worth prioritizing the procession on the final night—is it that different? What do the other nights miss out on? From what I’ve gathered, you can watch for free if you’re okay with sitting on the ground, which isn’t an issue for us. In that case, is it still easy to get a good view? We’ll be coming from Jaffna—are train tickets to Kandy harder to get during the Perahera? Also, August 8th is a public holiday. Do trains still run on public holidays?

Thanks in advance for your tips! !

Hi there,

We’re planning to visit Yala Park for half a day. Could anyone tell me which block is the most interesting to visit, given that we’re coming from Tangalle?

Thanks for your reply.

Hi there. We’re spending a month in Sri Lanka in March, and we’ll have one week left after leaving Polonnaruwa. We’re torn between spending it in the Jaffna region or on the east coast between Batticaloa and Trincomalee. We’re divers, so the east coast appeals to us for snorkeling, beaches, and lagoons—but it seems like late March might not be the best time for that coast. What do you think? As for Jaffna, the culture of the region, its more authentic feel since it’s less touristy, and the offshore islands all appeal to us too—but it seems far from the rest of the country and harder to access. We have to choose because we won’t be able to visit both sides, and I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks, Marie

Hi there, we’re spending March in Sri Lanka, and on several blogs travelers mention they’ve rented scooters or mopeds. On government info sites, it seems they say you need a Sri Lankan license to rent these vehicles. Have any of you run into this kind of issue? Thanks, Marie

Hi there, Back from Sri Lanka, we have some local currency left. This could be useful for you. Here’s what I’m offering: 1 x 5000-rupee note 3 x 1000-rupee notes 2 x 500-rupee notes 3 x 100-rupee notes 2 x 50-rupee notes 6 x 20-rupee notes That’s a total of 9520 Sri Lankan rupees, or 31 €. This way, you can start your trip without having to withdraw money right away at the airport and without paying any fees. For reference, here are some typical costs: Bottle of water: 130–160 Rs, tuk-tuk ride: 100–500 Rs, bus trip: 50–200 Rs, meal with a drink: 1500–2500 Rs. Possible to send in an envelope.

Hi there,

I’ve been reading conflicting info about whether an Indian visa might be required for a few-hour layover in Mumbai.

Do we need anything besides the Sri Lankan ETA if we’re just transiting through India without leaving Terminal 2 at the airport? We’re flying from Brussels via Frankfurt and then Mumbai with Lufthansa.

Thanks so much—I’m totally lost here! 😅

Hi there, We’d planned a hike in the Knuckles at the end of February, but everything I’m reading about leeches is freaking me out—I know I wouldn’t handle having one on me (call me a wimp if you want 😅). Is it really that bad? Plus, it sounds like a lot of tiring road just for a day trip. What do you recommend? Thanks so much! 😊

Hi there, It's really tough to book seats for early February. After trying multiple times on the official online sites, everything seems to be fully booked already. Hiring a taxi is an option, but even then, there aren’t many choices—agencies prioritize tour packages. Do you have any tips for making the trip from Kandy to Ella? Thanks! Have a great day.

Hi, Are 100 € bills accepted at exchange offices in Sri Lanka? Thanks for your replies.

Hi there, we’re heading to Sri Lanka in early February for 15 days. We’d like to do a few days of trekking and thought we’d need an agency and a guide, but we’ve heard about the Pekoe Trail—a long-distance trail that’s supposedly well-marked. Is that accurate? Is it doable on our own? I’d love to hear from anyone who’s familiar with it. Thanks!

Hi there, I have another question: Should I bring dollars since hotels on Booking are listed in dollars... or should I exchange my euros for rupees? Thanks for your experience!

Hi, I already posted an ad for April for Cape Verde, the Canary Islands, etc., but it’s possible I’ll have more time off than expected and could leave for 3 weeks starting April 19. In that case, I’m considering Sri Lanka, which has great weather across much of the country, or New Zealand, where it’s autumn and everything’s cheaper with still-pleasant weather. Nepal could also be an option, even though it apparently starts raining there. I’d be available for 3 weeks starting April 19, give or take. Open to other far-flung destinations with good weather. Looking for a female travel companion. I travel backpacker-style, on a tight budget, using local transport or renting a car (for New Zealand, for example). Feel free to message me privately.

hi there I’m heading to Sri Lanka for a month from January 6th to February 3rd, then I’ve got a flight to the Maldives from February 3rd to 15th, and... I’m coming back to Sri Lanka for one night from the 15th to the 16th to catch my flight back to France. Because my flight ticket is from January 6th to February 16th... I’m wondering about my travel authorization. Will I get a transit authorization for one day to board my flight? Thanks for shedding some light on this!

hi there

I’m planning part of my route: Udawalawe, then Rakwana and Nuwara Eliya. I can’t find a bus connection from Rakwana, so I’d love any ideas. thanks philippe

Hi there,

Need a little help: How do I get from Tangalle (or from Beliatha/Beliatta) to Hatton (I’m staying a few days nearby in Dickoya)?

Thanks! Florent

Bonjour Je prépare un voyage pour 02/2021 (si convid nous laisse tranquille) Ma question est de savoir si il faut faire ces deux sites ? Si la réponse est non : lequel des deux de préférence ? (Je pencherais pour les 2 pour le moment) Et si nous visitons Polonnaruwa peut on avoir comme base Sigiriya et rayonner durant 3 jours (Anuradhapura non inclus dans ces 3 jours, bien entendu) Merci pour vos retours Ericat

Bonjour tout le monde,

Je viens de prendre rdv pour renouveler mon passeport, mais je viens de me rendre compte que j'ai un E-visa pour le Sri Lanka lié a mon passeport et encore valide jusqu'en septembre. Ai-je le droit de conserver mon passeport?

Merci d'avance!

Bonjour, pouvez-vous m'indiquer le moyen le plus judicieux pour se rendre à Batticaloa de la manière la plus "directe" possible d'Europe ? Merci pour votre réponse, 😉
