How much money to take Sri Lanka?

Amount of money to carry when visiting Sri Lanka completely depends on for how many days you are traveling and what are the activites you would wish to roll in.


For a strict budget traveler, around $50 should cover basic costs of a room and three meals per day.


For the moderate range, the combined daily cost could be in total approximately some $60 to $100 for transport, accommodation, food, entertainments, and sundry others.


Should the higher luxury kind be your choice, then you would need somewhere from $150 to $200. This is a general estimate; your actual costs might tally more or match within this figure depending on your exact plans and activities.


Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR) is the currency that is used in Sri Lanka. It is advised to exchange money to LKR or be on the safer side and leave your dollars till the time you get to Sri Lanka when you may withdraw money from the country's ATMs.
