Notes on Sri Lanka Travel 2 (Security / Shopping)

We will explain in detail the things you should be aware of when traveling to Sri Lanka (security, price circumstances, shopping, etc.).

About security

Sri Lanka is stable and there is no problem with sightseeing. However, there are cases where you may suffer damages such as picking up and leaving, if you are a little bit careful. There are picks aimed at foreigners, so please be careful to avoid acting alone in hotels. Also, avoid going out at night or going to unpopular alleys.

Prices situation

I think that many people feel that prices are cheap in Sri Lanka, but prices vary depending on the location. Things that can be obtained cheaply at bazaars etc. are quite expensive at hotels. It is also different in Colombo and other cities.

About shopping (souvenirs)

Tea, jewelry, lace knitting, batik, silver tableware, handicraft products, spices, etc.

About sightseeing spots

Avoid flashy exposures such as miniskirts and shorts when visiting Buddhist temples. Wearing a scarf or cardigan is convenient, as clothing that shows your shoulders and back is also prohibited. Some temples may be strictly prohibited, so it is convenient to bring a bag to put your shoes in.
