What to pay attention to when traveling to Sri Lanka

First, prepare your passport, visa and other documents at least half a month in advance.

Second, Sri Lanka has high temperatures all year round, so you only need to bring summer clothes. It is close to the Indian Ocean and has many beautiful coasts, so you can bring a swimsuit, shawl, and waterproof bag.

If you want to go to a remote place to experience the customs and folkways, you need to first exchange US dollars at a domestic bank and then exchange rupees at the airport.
