Camping & Hiking Adventure Booking in Sri Lanka

Staying the night in a campsite rather than a typical hotel has many inherent advantages. There are plenty of eco-friendly campsites in Sri Lanka. They are completely eco-friendly and have built into the core of the diverse ecosystem of Sri Lanka. If you are a nature lover and someone who loves simple living, and supporter of eco-friendly tourism, our recommendation is to try one of our recommended campsites. Please read the experience described later in the article, to make your decision. Some of the advantages are,

  • Very attractive to landscape photographers and drone photographers.
  • Campsites are mainly built close to waterways like lakes, rivers and streams which are attractive to animals especially in the dry season.
  • You can experience real Sri lankan tasty meals cooked by your team, and also get some cooking experience yourself.
  • Overall feeling of a campsite stay in the countryside is quite different to a hotel experience, many people would love that feeling.
  • Fresh air to refresh from busy life.
  • Feeling of isolation from the busy life is another factor, many campsites are even isolated via mobile connectivity, so you will have completely offline life to regenerate your life, and rethink.

What to Expect in a Camping & Hiking Adventure in Sri Lanka

Knowing what to expect is great, and you can prepare well for your great adventures. Campsites are of limited facility and hence you need to prepare well for your basic needs during your stay.

  • Most Campsites are completely out of power, hence camping touch, other lighting options should be prepared. 
  • You will not have facilities to charge your devices for the whole duration. Hence you need to bring your own power backups, or extra batteries.
  • Campsites may only have basic toilet facilities, or may not have any facility. You must take your own toilet papers, separate mobile toilet equipment.
  • Basic bedding facilities should be arranged by yourself like Sleeping bags, portable mattresses, pillows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Usually a traveller will get a 30 day single entry visa online or on arrival at the airport. You can apply online via the official government website.

Simple answer is No. But we recommend to book a tourist board authorised guide or an authorised driver for your visit to get the best experience in Sri Lanka. This way you improve your safety, trust, and experience overall as they are trained to perform best.

Ideal group would be of 6 travellers or more. Transportation cost and safari ticket/jeep costs would be shared across the team, so the price would be less per individual. If you can group more than 6 people, that would be even better.

You can buy a sim card at the airport itself by producing your travel documents for few bucks. Internet packages are very cheap in Sri Lanka and they will active the card for you. Refer 4G coverage maps of Dialog and Mobitel internet providers.

All transactions are done in LKR in Sri Lanka, other than few tourist hotels and restaurants accepting foreign currencies. Alternatively you can pay by your credit or debit card at some places. But we highly recommend to exchange some of your currency to local currency at one of the airport exchange counters. 

Please contact us via WhatsApp with your email, group size, arrival and departure dates. We will find matching teams at possible services such as transport sharing and safari pooling.

You can report either to nearest Sri Lanka police station or tourist police of any incident in Sri Lanka. 

You might encounter mosquitos at some places in Sri Lanka. You can buy a mosquito repelant from a super market in Sri Lanka.
