Sri Lanka, which is one of the destinations that has been increasing in popularity among travelers recently, brings to mind the questions of Where and how can I go to Sri Lanka as it is a little far from Turkey. In this article, in addition to the most well-known alternatives for how to get to Sri Lanka, I will also share my experience and advice on how to travel in Sri Lanka (transportation within Sri Lanka).
How to Get to Sri Lanka – Flights to Sri Lanka
Istanbul There are many different airlines operating from Colombo to Colombo Bandaranaike Airport (CMB) in Sri Lanka’s capital city, Colombo.. Although one of the most important things for long distances is cheap airfare, you can plan to see another city by leaving the transit time long so that I can see it while you are here.. So let’s see which of the airlines that go to Sri Lanka the most and where they transfer (The information is valid as of now, the airlines may have made changes).
The hero of our Sri Lanka trip is with our driver..
After sharing some basic information with the driver, you can finalize your hotel reservations according to the course of the conversation and the man’s route recommendations.. The driver can go and negotiate with the hotels and book the nearest hotel at the last minute, wherever you are at that moment; but this method can be a bit risky. For example, when we saw that there was not much to do in Colombo, we agreed to burn our Colombo reservation and decided to continue, and the driver arranged the hotel where we arrived.. It was a little more affordable than what we had reserved (about 10 dollars cheaper) but there was no limit to the bugs that entered the room If we were to keep it ourselves, I’m sure we would see the pictures of the old building of the hotel or read about this insect in the comments and look for other alternatives. The decision is up to you, for those who want to review and decide for myself where my reservation will be, which is the method I recommend, Sri Lanka hotels (eg Colombo) are here.
Sri Lanka’ Prices of Drivers and Guides
Let me talk about the terms and prices of this chauffeur service, which sounds very nice.. You do not interfere with any of the driver’s needs such as car, gas, accommodation, food; all accepted in the agreed price. Depending on the length of your itinerary, the daily fee will most likely start from $70. If you prefer to set it up from scratch instead of the driver I use, do not forget to be sure of the services included in the price and the driver’s knowledge of tourist attractions and to keep your route flexible so that it does not change the mileage, in order to avoid any bad surprises.

We don’t need to do anything extra because our driver is a super uncle no more; but in case your driver doesn’t know or forgets, let me touch on an important issue that you can benefit from the man: Before entering a place, always ask the man how much is that thing or job.
Sri How Does Price Negotiation Happen in Lanka?
After the price is discussed, the driver will no longer be able to interfere, because when he prevents the tourist from being ripped off, those opportunistic scumbags become hostile to the man.. For example, are you going to do an elephant safari, before you get out of the car, find out the answer to the question ‘how much should I pay’.
Ours gave the critical information beforehand: “Normally, it should be 2000 rupees per person. bargain until the price drops, but don’t say it’s 2000 directly so they don’t understand what I’m saying.” Then we went in pure tourist mode and asked the price, what would you like the man to say? 3500 rupees! Normally, yes, I know that I have to bargain, but when I didn’t know the point I had to reach, I would have thought what a good bargain I had made even when the man reduced it to 3000, but how well I would have been staked When he went down to 2500, he already put his feet ‘I don’t do it to anyone, for your sake’, and I was so annoyed. I offered 1800 so we could meet in 2000. He made ‘what else’ trips by raising his eyebrows, but they won’t eat. When I did the “Look, I’m going then” trilogy, I finally got what I wanted.. I’ve had similar price fights elsewhere, that ‘bargain with everyone every minute’ thing in Asia is sometimes really tiring…

Unfortunately, as we are used to, there is no screen where the daily rates are written; on the contrary, there is an exchange rate according to his man. Don’t be that ‘man’, give the money (dollar) to the driver so he can change it (take rupees). Of course, if he has earned your trust, he can pocket the difference by buying high and saying low, but we trusted him because ours was so good.. Seeing that we were waiting outside and realizing that we were tourists after telling the man exchange rate, the foreign exchange agents tried to lower the prices they first said, it was bad.. He even asked the driver, “Your money or their money?” they asked, he will give a price according to it, so the scum. If you are going to exchange on your own, be sure to check the daily rate online and then go to the exchange office.
