| Category | Guidance & Details | GOMA HOLDINGS Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Climate & Seasons | Sri Lanka enjoys a warm tropical climate year-round with two alternating monsoons. South/West coast is dry from Dec–April, while the East coast shines from May–September. | Travel is ideal 365 days a year—we route your trip to whichever side of the island has dry, sunny weather! |
| Visa / ETA | International tourists must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) online prior to boarding flights, usually valid for 30–60 days. | Apply only via the official government ETA portal. Our team provides fast verification assistance for booked guests. |
| Currency & Payments | The local currency is the Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR). Major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard) are accepted in hotels and upscale restaurants. | Keep modest cash (LKR 500 & 1000 notes) handy for rural craft stalls, king coconut stands, and temple donations. |
| Temple Etiquette | Modest clothing is strictly required at sacred sites: shoulders and knees must be covered. Shoes and hats must be removed before entry. | We provide clean temple shawls and cotton wraps in all our private tour vehicles for guest comfort. |
| Transport & Safety | Driving standards and mountain switchbacks can be challenging for foreigners. Private chauffeur-guides are the gold standard. | All GOMA HOLDINGS vehicles feature GPS tracking, emergency first-aid, full passenger insurance, and vetted drivers. |
