Sri Lanka Money

What is the local currency?

The Sri Lankan Rupee is the local currency.

Should I change money before I go?

It is best to change your money before you leave in order to secure a good rate.

However, it will be possible to change your money locally either at the airport or in town. Do let the pack leader know if you would like help with this.

How much should I budget per day for extras?

Around £10 a day should be plenty, but this is guidance only as you know your spending patterns better than we do.

Is it customary to tip?

For everyday life, we recommend between £4-8 a day which you can give to your guide to distribute equally.

Then for your guide and driver, it is customary, though not compulsory to tip them around £5 a day, this would normally be given at the end of the adventure and is completely up to you and whether you feel they have earned it.
