Local Tips
Carry cash for small purchases, as many establishments don't accept cards. Public buses and tuk-tuks are the most common ways to get around. Expect early closing times in local shops.
Cultural Etiquette
Dress modestly, especially when visiting temples or rural areas. Tipping (around 5-10%) is appreciated but not obligatory in restaurants. Remove shoes before entering someone's home or temples.
Safety Warnings
Hatton is generally safe, but be cautious with valuables in crowded markets. Night travel is limited due to winding mountain roads and limited lighting. Beware of aggressive tuk-tuk drivers overcharging tourists.
Hidden Gems
Explore Laxapana Falls for breathtaking views, visit lesser-known tea factories for tastings, and stroll the forests around Norwood for birdwatching away from the crowds.
