Travel Tips/Essential Information of Mount Lavinia, Sri Lanka
Best Time to Visit: The ideal time to visit Mount Lavinia Sri Lanka is from November to April, when the weather is dry and perfect for the beach. Avoid the monsoon season from May to October as the sea gets rough and outdoor activities are limited.
How to Reach: The easiest way to get to Mount Lavinia from Colombo is by train or tuk-tuk. Trains are frequent and cheap, while tuk-tuks offer a more flexible ride. If you’re flying in, Bandaranaike International Airport is around 45 km away.
Where to Stay: Options range from budget guesthouses to luxury hotels like Mount Lavinia Hotel. For Indian travelers, food won’t be an issue—many restaurants serve vegetarian and spicy dishes to suit Indian tastes.
Local Etiquette: Dress modestly while visiting religious sites. At the beach, swimwear is fine, but avoid being too revealing when walking around town.
Currency: Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR) is used. Most shops accept cards, but keep some cash for tuk-tuks and local stalls.
