March is Sri Lanka's tropical season, with strong and persistent sunshine, so sunscreen is our primary protection. 📓 Second, identification documents, such as your passport and driver's license. Although Sri Lanka is visa-free, your passport is an essential document for travel and should be brought along. A driver's license is necessary if you plan to rent a car and drive yourself. 📱 Third, an international phone card and travel insurance. You can purchase a phone card on the plane to Sri Lanka or at the airport upon arrival to stay connected. Travel insurance is a must-have for any trip, especially for adventurous travels. 🔌 Fourth, a plug adapter, as Sri Lanka uses three-pin power outlets, which are different from most countries. Without an adapter, your electronic devices will be left powerless. 👒 Fifth, because Sri Lanka is a low-latitude country with strong sunlight, you'll need a hat or parasol for sun protection. A hat can also effectively prevent sunstroke from prolonged sun exposure. 🎒 Finally, lightweight outdoor gear is also essential. If you plan to venture into Sri Lanka's jungles or stroll along the beaches, lightweight outdoor gear will allow you to enjoy the natural scenery while minimizing fatigue. In short, Sri Lanka is breathtakingly beautiful! Come join us, friends! Beautiful scenery, delicious food, and great company. Bring your good mood, and let Trip.com take you on a journey through Sri Lanka!
