Thoughtful travel begins with noticing where you are and who shares the place with you. Sri Lanka’s towns, villages, heritage sites and wildlife habitats are more than stops on an itinerary.
Respect living places
Follow instructions at cultural and religious sites. Ask before photographing people, and keep noise low around homes and places of worship. Use marked visitor routes at heritage sites.
Let wildlife stay wild
Choose experiences that give animals space. Do not feed, handle or chase wildlife. Before a park visit, confirm current rules and ask how your guide approaches responsible viewing. A sighting can never be promised.
Ask before you book
For a guide or rental, clarify what is included, who will provide the service and the cancellation terms. Check relevant registration and insurance directly. A directory profile is a starting point for a conversation.
For official park information, consult the Department of Wildlife Conservation.
