Honeymoon Planning Questions
It depends on the region — December to March is ideal for the west and south coasts and the hill country, while the east coast is best from April to September.
Most travelers need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA), applied for online and typically valid for 30 days. Your passport should be valid for at least six months from your entry date — check requirements for your nationality ahead of time.
Being up to date on routine vaccines (MMR, DTaP, varicella, polio, annual flu shot) is recommended, along with hepatitis A and typhoid vaccines. Consult your healthcare provider for advice specific to your trip.
Tap water isn't recommended — stick to bottled water, widely available and affordable, and check the seal before purchasing. Avoid ice unless you're sure it's made from purified water.
The local currency is the Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR). Carry some cash for small purchases and tips — hotels, restaurants, and shops in cities and tourist areas accept credit cards, and ATMs are widely available. Inform your bank of your travel plans beforehand.
