Worth agreeing on before you meet
Temple Etiquette
Remove shoes and hats before entering any Buddhist temple. Dress modestly: cover shoulders and knees. The Seetha Amman Temple near Nuwara Eliya is a Hindu site sacred to the Ramayana. Follow the same respectful dress code and remove shoes before entering.
Respect Tea Workers
Tamil tea pluckers earn modest wages for demanding physical work. Do not photograph workers without asking permission first. If visiting a plantation, buy tea directly from the estate. This supports the community far more than buying from middlemen in tourist shops.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Nuwara Eliya travel guide.
