Practical Travel Guide to Sri Lanka From the Philippines

Before you book your cheap plane ticket to Sri Lanka, it's important to know the practical details. This guide will help you prepare for a budget trip to Sri Lanka, from transportation to local customs.

Filipinos traveling to Sri Lanka usually need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before departure. This is an online process that is faster than a traditional visa. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months from your date of arrival. You can apply for the ETA on the official Sri Lankan government website. Although a Visa on Arrival is also available, it is highly recommended to get an ETA in advance to avoid any inconvenience upon arrival at Bandaranaike Airport in Colombo. Also ensure you have proof of a return ticket, which you can get by searching for cheap airfare to Sri Lanka on TICKETS.PH, and sufficient funds for your stay. Obtaining the ETA is an important step for your cheap and easy flight to Sri Lanka.

Getting around Sri Lanka is easy and affordable. Trains are a great way to see the beautiful scenery, especially the trip between Kandy and Ella. For shorter distances, tuk-tuks are popular; always negotiate the price first or use a ride-hailing app like PickMe. If you are looking for a cheap and easy flight to Sri Lanka, remember that transportation from the airport includes buses and taxis. Buses are the most affordable option. If you plan to drive, remember they drive on the left side of the road, opposite to the Philippines. Local buses are very cheap but can be crowded. For longer trips, private cars with a driver are a comfortable choice.

The currency of Sri Lanka is the Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR). It is best to exchange money at the airport or in banks. Using a credit card is common in large cities. Regarding safety, Sri Lanka is generally safe, but be careful of petty theft in crowded areas. When visiting temples, wear clothing that covers the shoulders and knees, and always remove your shoes and hat. Respecting images of the Buddha is very important. Do not turn your back on an image when taking a picture. Understanding these customs will help your Sri Lanka vacation with cheap flights be more meaningful. Always be respectful and ask for permission before taking pictures of people.

Try authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. 'Rice and Curry' is the main meal, with various vegetables, meat, or fish. Don't miss *kottu* (chopped roti with vegetables and spices) and *hoppers* (a type of pancake). Eating in local eateries, or *hotels*, is cheaper and tastier than in tourist restaurants. Drinking bottled water is recommended. Filipinos will easily get used to the flavors because we both love spicy food. Finding a cheap trip to Sri Lanka allows you to spend more on local food. Don't forget to taste their famous Ceylon tea.

Sri Lanka has a tropical climate, so pack light and breathable clothing. There are two monsoon seasons, but the country can be visited all year round because when it rains in one part, it is sunny in the other. Bring sunscreen, mosquito repellent, and an umbrella or raincoat. If you go to high-altitude areas like Nuwara Eliya, bring a jacket because it gets cold there. Packing correctly will help avoid extra baggage fees, which is important when looking for the cheapest flight tickets to Sri Lanka. Be sure to bring an adapter for their Type D and Type G power sockets.
