We returned from Kalutara two weeks ago. We went by bus to the market for 40 rupees with 4 people !!!!!!!, while for a tuk-tuk they paid 400 rupees (round trip). There are phone numbers of local guys. Call, negotiate and in 15 minutes there is a tuk-tuk near the hotel, and fruits will also help you choose!

Tikka is a local guy who owns a restaurant near Tangerine. 077-619-40-59, he can send a guy. Say hello from Larisa and Katya!

Thanks for the answer. But he wants to go on his own - without helpers.

a week since they returned from the "Sands". without assistants - only on foot or by bus. immediately to the left of the hotel along the beach - a restaurant, there are local boys - Ricky, Fernando, Randy. tuktuk to Kalutara with a stop anywhere (shops, alcohol shops, bazaar) - 300 rupees, they can make a discount. representatives of their "firm" always graze behind the fence. I do not advise buying clothes in Kalutara, in duty free they are cheaper and better

If you are in Galle, there is a jewelry store "Douglas and Suns" near the bus station, you can bargain there for 100-200 rupees on a tuk-tuk. They have good prices and they don't pay interest to tuk tukers! We bought there a bracelet and a ring with rubies and diamonds for 950 USD. True, it was 4 months ago, but I think the prices there have not changed much.

I can advise you to leave early before flying and stop by Colombo at the Petah market. If you bargain to the last, then the prices and choice will surprise you very much. But tuk-tukers do not like to take tourists there, stand your ground!

And what are the prices for bags in Petah? And where is the best place to get silver with stones?

Everything is at least twice as cheap (from the named price, drop 50% and stand your ground). But do not forget that jewelry and stones definitely need checks for customs. And my opinion is that the best gift from Sri Lanka is still tea, it is better to buy it at a tea factory (real quality and good price).

I haven't seen Callipso in a dutik. you can carry as much as you want. a bottle of 0.375 in the alcohol shop costs 700 rupees, 0.7 - 1350, this is slightly higher than the recommended price, but it's worth it

Who faced - suitcases can be scotched? They said that when leaving the train it is impossible, as they check the suitcases.

What about fruits? For some reason it is written that pineapple cannot be taken.

How much does tape cost? And what about overweight? We collected all sorts of knick-knacks, I'm afraid we won't fit into 20 kg in person.

scotch tape - 800 rupees. We recommend that you weigh yourself in advance and shove the excess into your hand luggage.
