Sri Lanka Tour Packages
Sri Lanka is an island nation in the Indian Ocean, just off the southern tip of India. In one short trip you can climb an ancient rock fortress, ride a train through tea country, spot leopards on safari and relax on palm-lined beaches.

Why Visit Sri Lanka?
Sri Lanka is a small island with a lot to see. In one week you can climb an ancient rock fortress, take a scenic train through tea plantations, go on a leopard safari and relax on palm-lined beaches. Distances are short, so you experience a lot in a little time.
Nepali travellers will find plenty that feels like home: Buddhist and Hindu temples, rice and curry that tastes a lot like dal bhat, and a relaxed pace of life. Buddhism links the two countries closely, and Kandy's Temple of the Tooth is one of the holiest Buddhist sites in the world.
Passion Tour And Holiday Service can plan your hotels, private car and driver, train tickets and safaris to suit your dates, interests and budget.

Sri Lanka Travel Guide for Nepali Visitors
Prepare the essentials before departure and check current official requirements close to your travel date.
Entry and Visa
Since 25 May 2026, Nepali citizens can get a free 30-day, double-entry tourist visa (ETA). You still need to apply online before you travel. The scheme runs for one year and is being reviewed by the government in November 2026, so we confirm the latest rules when you book.
Weather and Timing
The coast is warm all year, around 27 to 31°C, and the hills are cooler. December to March is best for the west, the south and the hill country. May to September is best for the east coast, such as Trincomalee and Arugam Bay. With two monsoons, there's always a good side of the island to visit.
Money and Getting Around
Cards work in hotels and larger restaurants. Keep cash for tuk-tuks, small shops and temple entry, and ATMs are easy to find in towns. Most visitors hire a private car and driver, the most comfortable option, and tuk-tuks are great for short trips.
Temple Etiquette
Wear white or modest clothing at temples, and remove your shoes and hats. Never pose for photos with your back to a Buddha statue, and keep any Buddha tattoos covered.
Plugs and Packing
Sri Lanka mostly uses Type D and G plugs at 230V. Type D is the same round three-pin plug used in Nepal. SIM cards are sold at the airport. Pack light clothing, a light jacket for the hills and white clothes for temple visits.
Food Tips
Sri Lanka is great for vegetarians, and dhal curry comes with almost every meal. Try hoppers, kottu roti and pol sambol, and finish with watalappan and fresh Ceylon tea. Food can be very spicy, so ask for less spicy. A lunchtime rice and curry buffet is the best-value meal of the day.
