What, besides tea, would you advise to bring from the country?
My first time in Sri Lanka. What exotic fruits would you recommend to bring as a gift to your relatives? What else can you see from spices. Where is it better to buy: in the bazaars (are they there?) or in stores? If you are short of money, then which tours to buy and where on the street or in a hotel?

There are good gems in Sri Lanka, I advise you, there is still a very large selection (and cheap) of things (t-shirts, trousers, jackets, shorts, etc. for everyone (men, women, children). Depending on the store - price and quality ( the difference is small.) Almost all of Columbia is made in Sri Lanka. Take more money and a minimum of things, you need to buy it on the spot. Spices - went to the store, bought a package of spices (mix) - liked it. There are bazaars, I don’t remember, I saw if there are spices, we bought in the store. I won’t answer about the tours, because excursion + rest was paid in Kyiv. Ask - I’ll answer ....

thanks. Do you take reperents, or do they give them at the hotel? In general, there are a lot of insects?

Take it, we didn’t give a guest, still take external ones with you (what is applied to the skin, clothes). In the evening there are especially many midges, one might say invisible, but tangible. I myself am allergic, but they didn’t bite me, but my husband suffered a lot from them. The main thing I can advise is not to comb the bites !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, there are bite scars. Advice from the locals: carry out manipulations through the fabric - it is easier to tolerate, and more correctly - to endure. Another tip is to look under your feet, because. in Sri Lanka, a lot of unpleasant things crawl, run, my husband is delighted, I am in suspense all the time. Looking at all of the above, the impressions are only positive !!!!!!!!

Sorry, I forgot to ask. Do you bring your own beach towels or are they free? We were also told that you have to pay for sunbeds daily. How much is it? That's why I ask so scrupulously, because. I am a pensioner and these trips of mine are the long-awaited little money collected during the year. This is an outlet that I can afford only once a year. Thanks again for the very detailed answers.

It's like in a joke: The husband is going to the sea. He asks his wife:
- Dear, what do you want to bring from the south?
Wife (thoughtfully):
- Yes, bring what you want, now they are treating everything.
On topic... What I would try is mango. In India, in particular in Sri Lanka, there are a lot of different types of them. Knowing that my friends have a lot of unnecessary crap at home, I definitely wouldn’t take figurines of a Buddha or an Indian woman in a lotus position, a snake or an elephant. I would bring 10 pieces of the most delicious mangoes and give them away, because many have never tried this yummy in their lives

I do not advise you to take precious stones away: the quality of cutting is low. The jewelry did not impress me with its design, high quality, or attractive price... Therefore, I didn’t buy anything like this for myself and I don’t advise you at all, seriously.
It is better to buy high-quality clothes made from natural fabrics. Therefore, I advise you to get into the shops of the city of Colombo: "House of fashions" (there is good quality, and especially low prices - because they go mostly local) and "Odel" (worthy price-quality).
From fruits, I will add, very tasty: breadfruit, mangosteen, of course - the sweetest pineapples, the exact opposite of those that are on our shelves. Papaya is too big, in my opinion, for transportation, although tasty.
