Tools
Plan smarter, not harder
Five interactive tools we built because nobody else had — calibrated to 2026 reality, no plugin bloat, work on phones.
Travel Essentials
Plugs, voltage, adapter check, tap water, emergency numbers & tipping.
Best time to visit, by region
Sri Lanka has a split monsoon — south-west wet May-Sep, north-east wet Dec-Feb. Pick a month, see what's open and what to avoid.
Scenic train comparator
Kandy ↔ Ella, all classes, all four trains/day, with photo spots and 30-day-out booking strategy.
Daily budget calculator
Backpacker, mid-range, luxury — calibrated to 2026 prices in LKR + USD/EUR/GBP. Save your scenario locally.
ETA visa checker
Pick your nationality, see the current ETA / VOA / e-Visa rules, costs, processing time, and the official link.
Trip duration planner
Tell us your priorities; we tell you whether 7, 10, 14 or 21 days makes sense — and which of our itineraries fits.
What makes our tools different
Most Sri Lanka travel sites stop at static text: "the best time is December to April" (false — it depends on the region). "Budget LKR 5,000 a day" (since when?). "Visa rules vary by nationality" (which? what cost?). Our tools do what static text can't: they ask you the right two questions and give you a calibrated answer.
- No JS framework — fast to load, fast to use.
- Mobile-first — works on the phone you'll have in Colombo airport.
- Saved locally — no account, no email capture.
- Updated annually — every page carries a date stamp.
