You will need to consider budgeting for the following:

Professional Guides-To get the most out of a safari or a visit to any of the historical or religious sights we can arrange for you to meet a local guide with specialist knowledge who will accompany you and provide you with a comprehensive tour. You can agree a price in advance and if you are satisfied with the service you might want to add a tip

Entrance Fees-These may be included in the price quoted for your tour. Where not these will have to be paid for separately. Note: the entrance fees for foreigners are usually substantially higher than the price for Sri Lankan nationals

Food and Drink-Breakfast is normally included in the room rate for hotels. All other snacks, meals and drinks must be paid for separately (to include your driver/guide)

Spa Treatments-During your stay we can arrange for you to experience luxurious ayurvedic spa treatments ranging from a basic one hour body massage to a full day of pampering

Tipping-Sri Lanka has a low wage economy and payment of a gratuity for good service is always appreciated (and expected)

If you require more detailed information about the current costs of everyday items in Sri Lanka we have a fact sheet which can be purchased for US$5.00 or will be sent to you free of charge on confirmation of a tour booking
