What is excluded from most Sri Lanka tour packages?

You’ll usually have to pay out of pocket for your flights, travel insurance, tourist visa fees, daily lunches, alcohol, and tips for your driver. Extra activities not explicitly listed on the itinerary also cost extra.

Tour companies almost always leave lunch off the bill. People get hungry at different times and want different things, so leaving it open just works better. Keep in mind that expensive entrance tickets—like getting into Yala National Park or the Temple of the Tooth—might also be left out of budget-friendly packages. Always read the fine print before you pay so you aren’t surprised by hidden costs once you land.
