Sri Lanka Adventure

Is there WiFi throughout the trip?

WiFi is available at all accommodations during the trip.

Is there a dress code for entering the temples and other religious sites?

Yes, the dress code is seen as a show of respect to the culture, temple and monks that often live in the temples. Men should wear long pants and no cut-off sleeves. Women should wear trousers, a long skirt, or dress that extends fully below the knees and covers their shoulders - the knees should be fully covered. Tank tops and low cut shirts should also be avoided by both genders.

Can I skip parts of the itinerary?

Yes! This is your own time to explore Sri Lanka as you please. If you want to stay back at the hotel to relax or want to explore a bit on your own, just let your tour guide know.

Do you offer vegetarian options for included meals?

Vegetarians will be happy to know that Sri Lanka is very accommodating for vegetarians. Your tour guide can instruct any kitchen to create a local dish without meat. The meals will always have a vegetarian option. Please note vegan diets may not be available for some included meals.

Do I need a visa for the Sri Lanka trip?

Yes, you will need a pre-arranged visa to enter Sri Lanka. Most all passport holders - with at least 6 months validity remaining on their passport - will be granted a 30-day e-visa that is very simple to arrange online. You can find the government website for this process by clicking here. The cost of the visa upon arrival at either airport is $20 USD. Please allow at least three days for the evisa to process. If you have any questions about the process, we’re always here to help!

Do I need to submit the full payment to reserve my spot on a tour?

Not at all! The deposit confirms your place on the tour. We kindly ask that you provide the remaining balance no less than 60 days before your tour begins.

Can I pay off my tour in installments?

Yes! After placing your deposit, you can pay off the tour in installments of your choosing and at your convenience. The final remaining balance is due at least 60 days before your tour is set to begin.

What should I bring with me?

We recommend the following: - 1 pair of long trousers - 1 light but waterproof jacket (Nothing too thick!) - Simple padlock to lock up your belongings - 1 long sleeved top - 1 electrical converter (to avoid blowing out that hairdryer or beard trimmer) - Shoes that are suitable for hiking - Waterproof shoes if you have them - Shoes that are easily removed. (Upon entering temples and many buildings you will be expected to remove your shoes as a sign of respect. The easier, the better.) - Swimwear - A camera is highly suggested to remember your experience! - Insect repellent - Sunscreen. Lots of sunscreen And of course, the usual: passport, spending money, adventurous curiosity, positive attitude, etc!

Does it matter if I arrive before my starting date?

No problem at all - just make sure to arrive at the hotel for the starting date of the tour! We can arrange early night’s accommodation at the hotel and airport transfer or provide easy-to-use directions for getting from the airport to our hotel where there are many other accommodation options if you prefer to shop around for pricing.

Do I need travel insurance for the tour?

We strongly advise obtaining travel insurance during your time abroad. It is an affordable way to ensure peace of mind during your trip. Travel insurance covers potential medical emergencies and the loss of personal belongings. After receiving your booking confirmation, we will provide you with a recommendation on where to purchase travel insurance.

How does the payment system work?

Your deposit secures your place on the tour. This holds your spot on the tour up until 60 days before your tour is set to begin when the remaining balance is due in full. If payment is not received by this point, your spot on the tour will be cancelled and the spot will be offered to another potential group member. The remaining balance is displayed in your account. Several reminders will go out before this date to remind you of when your payment is due!

Must I pay for the tour in full to confirm my place?

Not at all! A small deposit will confirm your place on the tour. We ask that you please provide the remaining balance no less than 60 days before your tour begins.

Which airport should I book my flights to?

Please book your flights into Siem Reap International Airport in Siem Reap (REP) on day 1 and out of Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH) in Phnom Penh on day 11!
