À quelles arnaques dois-je me méfier ?
- Tuk-tuk drivers taking you to gem shops or spice gardens for commission — decline firmly.
- Fake tour guides at temples offering unsolicited tours then demanding payment.
- Overcharging tourists at markets — bargain politely but firmly.
- Hotels or guesthouses not matching online photos — book through reputable platforms.
Quelles précautions sanitaires prendre ?
- Drink bottled water. Food is generally safe — Sri Lankan cuisine is delicious and well-cooked.
- Mosquito protection important — dengue is present, especially during rainy seasons.
- Good hospitals in Colombo and Kandy. Rural areas have limited facilities.
Quelles vaccinations sont exigées ?
- Hepatitis A and Typhoid recommended.
- Hepatitis B and Rabies for extended stays (stray dogs are common).
- Routine vaccines up to date.
L'eau du robinet est-elle potable ?
Do not drink tap water. Bottled water is widely available and cheap. King coconut water is a safe and delicious alternative.
Y a-t-il des avertissements aux voyageurs en vigueur ?
Former conflict zones in the north are now safe to visit but unexploded ordnance may exist off main roads. Monsoon seasons bring heavy rain and flooding. Currents on southern beaches can be strong — swim where locals swim.

- Don't touch monks or hand things directly to female monks — use an intermediary.
