LK / FIELD NOTES

OVERVIEW

The lay of the land

Sri Lanka touches 1 country by land, and that changes the planning: flying in and out of the same airport is a choice here, not an obligation.

STAYING CONNECTED

Data the moment you land

The eSIM installs at home, on wifi, with no rush, and switches itself on when you land. Plans run from 1 GB to 20 GB, valid up to 30 days, with unlimited day passes for longer stays. It’s the difference between walking off the plane looking for a counter and walking off the plane ordering a car.

WHEN TO GO

Timing your trip

Sri Lanka sits close enough to the equator that the year is measured in rain, not seasons. The dry stretch is the comfortable one for moving around. The wet one doesn’t cancel the trip, but it does soak it.

MONEY

Paying your way

Tipping is a local custom, not a universal one: in some countries it’s built into the bill, in others it’s an insult, and in others it’s how the staff actually get paid. Ask once when you arrive and you’ll stop guessing at every table.

ENTRY

Documents & cover

Some countries ask for a yellow fever certificate depending on where you’ve been, not where you live: a layover can be enough to trigger it. Check the requirement against your actual route, stopovers included.

LANGUAGE

Getting understood

Learn four words: hello, thank you, please and sorry. They’re not for communicating, they’re for something else: people’s faces change when you try, and that opens more doors than any app.
