Have you travelled all across South India and love its culture?
Well, then you would probably adore the feel of Sri Lanka. One of India’s closest neighbours, this country holds unparalleled beauty that you must see to believe, and it now offers visa-free travel for Indians.
But, hold on!
What about insurance for the trip? Stepping out of the country is risky but doing so without proper safety measures is outright dangerous.
Sri Lanka travel insurance can significantly reduce your financial burden in the event of emergencies on the trip. Whether it is a sudden medical need, or you end up losing your baggage in transit, your insurer will bear the cost for all such unplanned instances. Being able to claim such help, especially when you are in a foreign land, can be a lifesaver.
But enough about travel insurance for Sri Lanka for now, let’s learn a bit more about the stunning destination first.
According to recent regulations introduced by the Sri Lankan Cabinet, Indian tourists can now visit Sri Lanka visa-free for a period of up to 30 days. This is a pilot project which will be in effect until March 31, 2024.
