Frequently Asked Questions
Which visas do we need?
<p>The Maldives gives a free visa on arrival. Sri Lanka needs an online ETA before you fly, which is included and applied for by our visa team.</p>
Is the Sigiriya climb hard?
<p>It is about 1,200 steps and takes 1.5 to 2 hours up and down. Go early to avoid the heat. People with a fear of heights may find the upper stairs tricky.</p>
Are flights from Kathmandu included?
<p>No. Most routes to Malé connect once, often in Colombo, Delhi or Kuala Lumpur. We quote the best fare for your dates and add it to the booking.</p>
Can we change the hotels or add nights?
<p>Yes. Tell us your dates, budget and hotel level, and we will change the hotels, add nights or swap activities and send a revised price.</p>
