who to contact about a cheap guesthouse??
I'm 22.... I'm alone, a little scared, but I really want to go to Sri Lanka, I'm flying at the end of November, since the budget is not big, I would be grateful if you advise an inexpensive shelter, I do yoga, so the apartments can be very modest..ah and is it possible to contact the locals in English??
Thanks in advance Sasha)

Almost everyone knows English and quite well. Regarding the guesthouse - google the MyLanka website there are different options, we booked guesthouses with them last year.

belousova7, online application - are you filling out to open a visa? Getting a visa at the airport is also not a problem, you just have to stand in line!

At Colombo airport, a visa is opened without problems and queues, only it is 5 dollars more expensive than on application.

kuzneczov8, this is not true. When I flew to Sri Lanka in February of this year, I read reviews that it was cheaper to open a visa upon arrival. I decided to save money))) Arriving there, I stood in a huge queue (maybe it was a coincidence) and paid the same money as on the application!

When you completely go through passport control and customs, change the currency, get your luggage and at the exit from the airport a corridor is lined up from meeting tour operators with signs. You are looking for your operator and then according to the plan. And if you want to go faster and without queues, then look for a companion and take queues for passport control and for a visa together, it will be faster. There were 12 foreigners on our plane and the rest were Sri Lankans (they pass through a separate corridor), so we had practically no delays.

belousova7 I will give you a link to the page in contact http://vk.com/akilapunchihewa. We traveled with him for 5 days in Sri Lanka, his name is Akila, he lives in Balapitiya, near Bentota. If necessary, Akila will be able to help with guesthouses and, if necessary, meet him, his prices are very low, we have been looking for a guide for a long time and are very pleased that we met him.

He is just a decent and good guy, sometimes he helps just like that (his family is quite wealthy and he can afford it), I advise you to contact him in contact and ask about everything. If necessary, I will write his phone number. Have a good rest, it's a pity that you eat a month later than us, we would be happy to keep you company.

Everything is not so bad. We really didn’t eat at roadside cafes, but we were happy to buy food in supermarkets, there are quite enough of them, FoodCity and KillSuper are especially common. They are absolutely safe, the products do not differ much from ours and you can cook absolutely calmly. In every town or village there is also a fish market where they sell freshly caught fish, if you like seafood, you can safely buy and cook, a lot of fruit, the price is quite affordable. You definitely won't be hungry. We took a whole bag of various medicines with us, but nothing but sunblock came in handy. Do not worry if there are problems or questions (in Sri Lanka) - contact Akila, he will consult for free and, if necessary, show and tell everything.
