Visiting Religious places When entering religious places your dress should cover minimum up to your knee levels & sleeve less tops are not allowed (you have an option to get a rap around cloth & cover yourself but chargeable) Taking Photographs In general Sri Lankans love having their picture taken, but it is common courtesy to ask for permission. Taking photographs of dams, airports, road blocks or anything associated with security is forbidden. Do not pose beside or in front of a statue of the Buddha as this is considered extremely disrespectful. Food & Hygiene As a leading tourist destination, Sri Lanka holds one of the best hygienic records in Asia, where stomach complaints are not common. Nevertheless, it's good to comply with the following guidelines: - Most importantly use bottled water for drinking or rinsing your mouth. To avoid inferior quality water, it is recommended that the water bottles are purchased from supermarkets or recognized shops only. - Coconut water is renowned as a settler for a queasy stomach. - Using the fingers for eating is a norm in Sri Lanka and certainly not considered un-etiquette.
