✅ Dos for Indian Travelers

• Respect religious customs: Remove shoes at temples, dress modestly, and avoid selfies with Buddha statues.
• Use your right hand: Especially when eating or exchanging items—left hand is considered unclean.
• Try local cuisine: Enjoy rice & curry, hoppers, and seafood. Indian options are widely available too.
• Hire certified guides: Especially at UNESCO sites like Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, and Dambulla.
• Support local artisans: Shop for handlooms, batik, and Ceylon tea from community-run outlets.

🚫 Don’ts to Keep in Mind

• Avoid public displays of affection: Holding hands is fine, but kissing or cuddling in public is frowned upon.
• Don’t touch monks or sit at their level: Always sit lower and never initiate physical contact.
• Don’t drink tap water: Stick to bottled or purified water.
• Don’t take photos inside religious spaces: Especially with your back to statues or altars.
• Avoid climbing Adam’s Peak during pilgrimage season: It gets crowded—opt for quieter months.
