Travel advice for Sri Lanka and the Maldives
TRAVEL ADVICE UPDATE
YALA AREA OPEN ONCE AGAIN!
On 03 July 2009, the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) relaxed
the restrictions on travel suggested in the advice given to British visitors to Sri Lanka.
This means we can offer once again jeep safaris in Yala West National Park to spot leopards,
elephants and sloth bears, and abundant bird life in Bundala National Park, visit the sacred
Kataragama pilgrimage site, and provide accommodation in Yala, Tissamaharama and Kataragama.
For more details, please go to
FCO Press Release
EAST COAST NOW AVAILABLE, TOO!
New Year 2010 has heralded the most relaxed restrictions on travel within Sri Lanka by the FCO
this millennium! We are now able to visit the east coast and so Nilaveli beach is available once again.

SRI LANKA - A NEW PEACEFUL AND UNITED ERA DAWNS
Sri Lanka officially declared the end of nearly three decades of internal conflict between
government forces and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in May 2009, hailing a new
peaceful era for a united island. We wish Sri Lanka and its people all the best in uniting
and developing the country, and we look forward to introducing more travellers to the traditional
and generous Sri Lankan hospitality!
