Safety in Srilanka

At present Sri Lanka is country filled with peace and prosperity. Despite 30 years of civil war now the people here help each other and have no conflicts between ethnic groups. Unfortunately scams and aggressive touting are widespread especially in town areas along with pickpockets in crowded areas and in buses (Public transport). Though pick pockets are reported often theft in hotel rooms are reported very rarely. And also its better for a single traveler to avoid dark beaches and lonely streets at late night because there’s a chance of getting robbed or being assaulted by thugs. For tourists if they face some trouble like losing the wallet, mobile phone or something as mentioned above you can always go to the tourist police for help. Though it is not very active it’s reliable. However, its better to be safe when crossing roads and when driving as there are reckless drivers who doesn’t properly obey road rules.
