Terms and Conditions: AboutCeylon
Last Updated: November 3, 2026
Welcome to AboutCeylon.com. This page lays out the ground rules for using our website, so it’s worth a quick read before you dive into our Sri Lanka travel guides.
By using AboutCeylon.com, you’re agreeing to these terms. If any part doesn’t sit right with you, please stop using the site.
1. About AboutCeylon
AboutCeylon is a travel and tourism website built to help people discover Sri Lanka. We write travel guides, destination overviews, itineraries, and pieces on tourist attractions, transport, culture, and wildlife, plus practical tips we think travellers will actually use.
Our aim is simple: give you useful information and a bit of inspiration while you plan your trip to Sri Lanka.
2. Accepting These Terms
When you visit AboutCeylon.com, you’re confirming that you’ve read and understood these terms and that you agree to them. They cover every visitor, reader, and user of the site.
We may update, change, or replace any part of these terms at any time, without telling you first. Changes take effect the moment we publish them here. If you keep using the website afterwards, we’ll take that as your acceptance of the new version.
3. Website Content and Information
Everything we publish is meant for general information, education, and travel planning. Our content may cover:
- Tourist attractions and destinations in Sri Lanka
- Travel itineraries and holiday planning
- Hotels and accommodation
- Transportation and travel costs
- Cultural traditions and historical sites
- Wildlife and national parks
- Travel advice and practical recommendations
We work hard to keep our information useful, accurate, and up to date, but travel details shift. Prices, opening hours, transport schedules, entrance fees, visa requirements, and local regulations can all change without warning. So we can’t promise that everything on the site is always complete, accurate, or current.
Before you make any travel decision, check the important details yourself with official authorities, service providers, and the relevant organizations.
4. Travel Advice Disclaimer
Nothing on AboutCeylon counts as professional, legal, medical, financial, or official travel advice. Your travel decisions are yours to make.
Before heading to Sri Lanka, check the following:
- Passport and visa requirements

- Weather and seasonal conditions
- Transportation arrangements
- Local laws and regulations
