Sri lanka discovery - sleeping sheet
Hi, I'm booked on the sri lanka dsicovery tour in april and just reading through the special requirements it says we need a sleeping sheet for camping. Can anyone advise me on what type of mat we need please? Is it a camping mat a kind of foam rolled mat or a waterproof ground sheet? Thanks Sam
Sri Lanka May 2009
Okay I bought all of my tickets, so I am wondering if the May 9th Sri Lanka 14 day trip is guaranteed yet?
Visa
Hi In the Sri Lanka dossier it says that you need to get a single entry visa before your trip. In the list of countries supplied by the visa company you recommend it says that no visa is needed prior to travel as free one will be issued at Sri Lanka airport. Please advise Thank you Julie

I am booked on this tour and wanting to buy my airline tickets as this is part of three months of travel. When will I know if this trip is guaranteed to go? I have already made my flights into and out of Sri Lanka before I was told it was not guaranteed. Please advise on May 9th trip! Thank you.
