3. Walking Shoes

The island of Sri Lanka is best discovered slowly, and that absolutely means walking. Much better if the shoes are light and also breathable since it can get hot and humid. Flip flops are also practical if spending quality time on the beach. If you prepare to go hiking, then consider those shoes of footwear that are full surface, like Keens. Remember that your shoes will splash, either by obtaining caught in the rain or stepping in a pool, or on the beach etc.

4. A Reliable Power Bank

Sri Lanka can be a crazy place to get around and also as a result, you’ll spend a lot of time looking out maps attempting to work out the very best route to your next destination. A few hours on Google Maps is a sure means to drain your phone battery, alas, a power bank is a necessity for me. This year I started utilizing an Anker Power battery and it was a life-changer. It stays billed when I have actually billed it, is extremely reliable and also gives me 3-4 cycles of phone fee or camera battery charge.

5. Selfie Stick

Pack yourself a robust selfie stick long enough to get the whole crew in the shot. Don’t be ashamed of using your selfie stick. They capture some of the best and most engaging angles. I utilize the Sandmarc GoPro pole due to a couple of reasons. The Sandmarc pole is longer than the default stick GoPro sells and also it additionally doesn’t have the three arms bend. It is for holding up during a cliff jump, on a moped. It does not flex or need changing simply whip it out, get the shot and put it away before anyone notices!!

6. Waterproof Dry Bag

You obtained it, another tropical essential. When you’ve viewed as lots of people shed their phones or camera gear to water damages as I have, you’ll comprehend why I position so much value on a water-proof dry bag. A top quality completely dry bag will certainly do as it recommends by maintaining your personal belongings air-tight even if the bag happens to end up being fully involved in water during snorkeling, a boat trip or waterfall experiences.

7. Mosquito Net

If you do not intend on spending a great deal of time in the more remote jungle areas an insect internet is not as critical but still is a good thing to think of bringing. I brought the Sea to Summit Nano Insect Net on my journey; I never ever ended up utilizing it as meant but did use it as a screen for the place we remained in Kandy where the home window really did not close. I such as the quality of the Sea to top one I acquired as well as its portable packaging dimension make it worth the little of area it takes.

8. A Pair of Sunglasses

Having a quality pair of sunglasses with you all the time can help you feel more comfortable in strong sunny weather. Especially when you are visiting beaches.
