Rules

No alcohol, no smoking, no nudity. Dress code: cover shoulders and knees—long trousers/skirts and full T-shirts (no tank tops), long sleeves are fine too. Since Sri Lankans wear white at temples, it’s ideal to bring a few simple white clothes. Sri Lanka is hot (around 30°C), so come prepared.
