Frequently asked questions about short term rentals in Sri Lanka

  • What attractions should you visit during a week-long stay in Sri Lanka?

    A week in Sri Lanka is a fantastic starting point! You could focus on the cultural triangle, visiting ancient cities like Anuradhapura with its magnificent Ruwanwelisaya stupa and Polonnaruwa, known for its Gal Vihara Buddha statues. Sigiriya's Lion Rock is a must-see, offering breathtaking views. Consider adding a visit to Kandy, home to the Temple of the Tooth Relic, and perhaps a tea plantation tour in the hill country for a taste of Sri Lankan high-grown tea.
  • What are the best short term rentals in Sri Lanka?

  • What attractions should you visit when you spend a month in Sri Lanka?

    A month gives you time for a more in-depth exploration. Start with the Cultural Triangle as above, but extend your stay, exploring more temples and ancient ruins. Then, head south to explore the beaches of Unawatuna or Mirissa, perhaps going whale watching. Consider visiting the hill country, exploring towns like Ella and Nuwara Eliya, with their stunning scenery and tea plantations. You could also venture to the north, visiting Jaffna and its unique cultural heritage, or even explore the wildlife in Yala National Park, hoping to spot leopards.

  • What currency is used in Sri Lanka, and how easy is it to find ATMs?

    The Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR) is the currency. ATMs are readily available in most towns and cities, even smaller ones, making it easy to withdraw cash using international cards. However, it's always wise to have some local currency on hand, especially in more rural areas.

  • Is Sri Lanka safe for solo travellers, including women?

    Generally, Sri Lanka is considered safe for solo travellers, including women, but as with any destination, it's wise to take standard precautions. Being aware of your surroundings, avoiding walking alone at night in less populated areas, and letting someone know your plans are recommended. The local people are generally very welcoming and helpful.
  • Which region of Sri Lanka is most popular for its pleasant weather?

    The hill country region, encompassing areas like Nuwara Eliya and Ella, is known for its cooler, more pleasant weather throughout the year, providing a welcome respite from the heat of the coastal regions.
  • What do you do if you lose your passport or documents in Sri Lanka?

    Report the loss to the nearest police station immediately and contact your embassy or high commission. They will guide you through the process of obtaining emergency travel documents and help with replacing your passport. Keep copies of your passport and other important documents separately from the originals.
  • What seasonal celebrations make Sri Lanka special?

    Sri Lanka has a vibrant calendar of festivals. The Sinhala and Tamil New Year is a major celebration, usually falling in April. Poson Poya, commemorating the arrival of Buddhism, is another significant event. Many local festivals are also celebrated throughout the year, often involving colourful processions and traditional performances.
