However,  if your transportation is arranged in Sri Lanka, you won&#8217;t have to worry about buying your tickets. Moreover, the drastic drop of LKR against USD and INR makes things affordable for all kinds of travelers now in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong>The best way to help Sri Lanka at this point as a traveler is to plan your trip with a local DMC or tour operator.

I had taken. In addition to having an unforgettable trip, I was also introduced to the country&#8217;s rich cultural heritage. Moreover, while on a road trip in Sri Lanka, I had the first-hand experience of seeing how the locals are living a sustainable life by adopting various effective means to survive the chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"HOW_TO_PLAN_YOUR_TRIP_TO_SR_LANKA_IN_2022_CONSULT_A_REPUTED_LOCAL_DMC_OR_TOUR_OPERATOR\"><\/span><strong>HOW TO PLAN YOUR TRIP TO SR LANKA IN 2022?

It would be hassle-free. Everything related to your trip will be handled by them. Whether you are a high-end or budget traveler, Sri Lanka has something for you. Fuel shortages, however, limit solo budget travelers&#8217; ability to use public transportation independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Therefore, it is highly recommended that you plan your trip to Sri Lanka in 2022 meticulously. Before sketching your travel itinerary, route, province, and accommodation in Sri Lanka consult with a local tour operator. It helps immensely to plan everything in advance.&nbsp;<strong>It is currently only possible to visit the island nation with the help of a tour operator.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ESSENTIAL_TRAVEL_TIPS_FOR_SRI_LANKA_IN_2022\"><\/span><strong>ESSENTIAL TRAVEL TIPS FOR SRI LANKA IN 2022<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Habarna_SriLanka-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Habarna_SriLanka.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The captivating lakeside in Habarana\" class=\"wp-image-54766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Habarna_SriLanka-980x735.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Habarna_SriLanka-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The captivating lakeside in Habarana<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Sri Lanka known as the \u2018pearl\u2019 of the Indian Ocean, is a paradise for travelers across the globe. Times have changed due to the current state of affairs in the country. It requires scrupulous planning before booking your tickets to Sri Lanka. Here are some practical and essential&nbsp;<strong>travel tips for Sri Lanka 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">To start with, you need to have&nbsp;<strong>a fully vaccinated certificate<\/strong>&nbsp;to travel to Sri Lanka. So, make sure that your passport is updated with the vaccination details. You can link your passport with your vaccination certificate for hassle-free international travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Lotus-Tower_SriLanka-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"716\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Lotus-Tower_SriLanka.jpg?resize=1024%2C716&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Lotus tower in Colombo\" class=\"wp-image-54763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Lotus-Tower_SriLanka-980x686.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Lotus-Tower_SriLanka-480x336.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lotus tower in Colombo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visa\"><\/span><strong>Visa<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Unlike other countries, you don&#8217;t need to queue up for a VISA ON ARRIVAL at Bandaranaike International Airport. You must apply for ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) for entering Sri Lanka. It takes less than 24 hours to obtain an ETA. You can get ETA by applying online. It is valid for 3 months with a maximum stay of up to 30 days.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Travel_Insurance\"><\/span><strong>Travel Insurance<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Like any international destination, you need travel insurance to travel to Sri Lanka as well. It is highly recommended to have your travel insurance in place before packing your bags. Travel insurance is one of the top essentials a traveler must have to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hotel_Accommodation\"><\/span><strong>Hotel Accommodation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Pre-booking your accommodation saves a lot of stress. So, don\u2019t forget to book your accommodation before your trip. Due to the crisis in Sri Lanka, the five-star hotels are giving up to 50% discounts. It simply makes everything very affordable for tourists. Now, you can have a luxury travel experience at a very affordable price compared to earlier times.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Travel_with_a_local_DMC_Travel_Agent\"><\/span><strong>Travel with a local DMC \/ Travel Agent<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">&nbsp;The role of a local tour operator and DMC has become increasingly significant. They are the ones who can help you with your travel arrangements. For your accommodation, ground arrangements, internal transportation, sightseeing, and getting the right information about the current ground realities in Sri Lanka, you should consult a resourceful and reputed tour operator to plan your trip to Sri Lanka.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Must_have_sufficient_USD\"><\/span><strong>Must have sufficient USD<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Don\u2019t forget to carry sufficient USD with you while traveling to Sri Lanka. You can exchange your currency into LKR at your hotels (Mostly Five-Star hotels) as well. It is always better to carry local currency to any destination and Sri Lanka is not an exception. Considering the current financial situation, it is highly recommended that you should exchange your currency either in your home country at the airport or hotel. This is before starting your trip to Sri Lanka.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dress_moderately_during_your_temple_visit\"><\/span><strong>Dress<\/strong><strong> moderately during your temple visit<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Follow travel etiquette when visiting sacred places in Sri Lanka. One should dress moderately during temple visit. Temples and Buddhist Stupas require both men and women to cover their shoulders and knees before entering. Just like in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/2022\/04\/phuket-old-town-itinerary.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Thailand<\/a>, one should follow the rules in the island nation as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Being a responsible and sensible traveler, you must adhere to the rules in a foreign land. You cannot wear a hat on the premises of their religious places. Also, avoid making noise at these religious places as you will find locals praying or chanting on the premises often. Make sure that you don\u2019t hurt the sentiments of the people while visiting temples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Also, do check with the authority before taking photos at sacred places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CLOSING_NOTE\"><\/span><strong>CLOSING NOTE<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Galle-Green-face_SriLanka-1-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"837\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Galle-Green-face_SriLanka-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C837&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54762\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Galle-Green-face_SriLanka-1-980x801.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Galle-Green-face_SriLanka-1-480x392.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong>After exploring this captivating country for the very first time, I must confess that Sri Lanka is undoubtedly one of the finest Asian countries and irresistible.
