Start early for wildlife
Safari windows at Kaudulla and Yala are richest at dawn and late afternoon; plan departures accordingly to beat midday heat and maximise sightings.
Dress for temples
Wear shoulders and knees covered and carry a lightweight scarf; shoes must be removed at most religious sites.
Water and heat management
Carry 1–2 liters per person during day trips, and replenish in towns — bottled water is widely available.
Cash for small purchases
Many local stalls, tips for guides and minor entrance fees are easiest to pay with cash; ATMs in smaller towns can be sparse.
Sturdy walking shoes
Grip for wet stone paths and plantation tracks is essential for Sigiriya and tea-hill walks.
Light rain jacket
Afternoon showers in the highlands are frequent; a packable jacket keeps you comfortable.
summer
Sun protection (hat & SPF)
