SIM Card: Purchase local SIM cards at the airports in Dhaka and Colombo upon arrival for convenient internet access and local calls. Safety: Both countries are generally safe for tourists, but it's advisable to be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded areas. Use reputable transportation services (e.g., ride-sharing apps, hotel taxis). Keep valuables secure. Packing: Pack light, breathable cotton clothing suitable for warm, humid weather. Include modest attire (covering shoulders and knees) for visiting religious sites. Comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a universal travel adapter are essential. Culture Tips: Be respectful of local customs and traditions. Learning a few basic phrases in Bengali (Bangladesh) and Sinhala (Sri Lanka) can enhance your interactions. Politeness and a friendly demeanor are highly appreciated.
