What are the pros and cons of vacationing in Sri Lanka?

Sri Lanka has several significant drawbacks that may disappoint unprepared tourists. Main disadvantages include:

• Lack of developed resort infrastructure — no promenades, shopping malls, or familiar entertainment
• Transportation issues — buses and trains are often overcrowded, no affordable group transfers
• Dirt everywhere — even in national parks and sacred places
• High prices for attractions — visiting Sigiriya costs $30, Polonnaruwa — $25
• Monotonous cuisine — mainly rice with curry, little variety
• Few exotic fruits — mostly bananas, coconuts, and pineapples

It is also worth noting the absence of affordable group tours, the intrusiveness of locals in non-tourist areas, and the large number of stray dogs and crows.
