Indian passport holders travelling on a Srilanka tour package from Kochi must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before departure. The ETA is issued online by the Sri Lankan immigration authorities and is the quickest way to receive permission for short-term tourist visits.
The application generally takes only a few minutes to complete online using your passport details, travel information, and accommodation details. Once approved, the ETA is electronically linked to your passport, so there is no need for a physical visa sticker. It is advisable to apply at least 3–7 days before your departure to avoid any last-minute delays.
The standard tourist ETA allows a 30-day stay from the date of arrival with double entry, making it suitable for most leisure itineraries. Your passport should be valid for at least six months from the date you enter Sri Lanka, and travellers may also be asked to show a confirmed return ticket, hotel bookings, and proof of sufficient funds during immigration checks.
Since visa regulations and fees may change periodically, we recommend checking the latest requirements before your journey. Thrillophilia also assists travellers with the required visa documentation and travel guidance, helping ensure your Sri Lanka trip from Kochi begins smoothly.

However, the east coast destinations of Trincomalee, Nilaveli, and Pasikudah enjoy sunny skies, calm seas, and excellent beach conditions, making this a great time to explore that region.
With temperatures between 25°C and 30°C, these months mark Sri Lanka's inter-monsoon or shoulder season.

If you choose a connecting flight, the total travel time can range from 4 to 8 hours, depending on the layover duration and airline.
Yes. A 5- to 6-day itinerary is ideal for covering Sri Lanka's classic tourist circuit, including Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Bentota, Galle, and Colombo. It gives you enough time to experience cultural attractions, tea estates, beaches, wildlife, shopping, and local cuisine while keeping travel time between destinations comfortable.
The official currency is the Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR). Indian Rupees are generally not accepted for regular purchases, so it's advisable to exchange currency at Colombo Airport or authorised exchange centres after arrival. International debit and credit cards are accepted at most hotels, restaurants, and larger shops, but carrying some cash is useful for local markets, cafés, and tuk-tuk rides.
When visiting Buddhist or Hindu temples, you should wear clothing that covers your shoulders and knees as a sign of respect. Shoes, hats, and sunglasses must be removed before entering temple premises, and some sites may also ask visitors to avoid revealing clothing. Carrying a light scarf or shawl is useful if you're sightseeing throughout the day.
Yes. Indian passport holders must obtain a Sri Lanka Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before travelling. The online application is straightforward and is usually processed within 24–72 hours. A tourist ETA generally allows a 30-day stay with double entry, making it suitable for most holiday itineraries.
For travel between December and April, it's best to book your package 6–8 weeks in advance, especially during Christmas, New Year, and school holidays when flights and hotels fill up quickly. Travelling during the shoulder season can often help you find better hotel rates without compromising much on the experience.
Yes. Finding vegetarian food is usually easy in major tourist destinations such as Colombo, Kandy, Bentota, Nuwara Eliya, and Galle. Many hotels offer Indian breakfast options, while local restaurants serve vegetarian rice and curry, dosas, idlis, rotis, and North Indian dishes alongside authentic Sri Lankan cuisine.
Most 5 to 6-day packages include Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Bentota, Galle, and Colombo. Longer itineraries may also cover Sigiriya, Mirissa, Yala National Park, Ella, Trincomalee, or Pasikudah, depending on the duration and the type of holiday you choose.
