Srilor is a friendly pocket guide to Sri Lanka. It helps you plan the island town by town, guides you day by day once you land, and tells the stories of the places you see. PLAN YOUR TRIP, FREE • Fill in your ticket in under a minute: when you land, how long you have, your pace and what you love. • Suggest a plan drafts your trip: the towns to sleep in, the nights in each and the places near every one. • Change anything you like. Planning is free for everyone. BOOK YOUR STAYS YOUR WAY • Srilor suggests which towns to sleep in. It does not book hotels. • Book where you like, on any booking site or with the hotel directly. • Add each booking to its night, so the reference is to hand at check-in. HONEST DRIVE TIMES • Typical times by car between towns, so you know what a moving day really means. • Fair estimates for trains, buses and tuk-tuks, with a tip for each. A GUIDE FOR EVERY DAY • Every day gets a word: Easy day, Full day, Moving day, Free day, or Too much for one day. • When a day asks too much, Srilor says so and offers a fix. • On the island, your home shows today's plan and tonight's town. STORIES AT EVERY PLACE • Audio stories told in chapters by a natural voice, in several languages. • The first chapter of every story is free. THE ISLAND PASS • One payment. Nothing monthly, nothing to cancel. • Every audio story in full, in every language we record. • Keep places offline with their stories, for the days without signal. • Planning stays free, with or without the pass. THE GUIDE • Practical chapters on planning your trip, getting around, money, seasons, temples and staying safe. • Emergency numbers one tap away. Works offline. TRAVELLER NOTES • Tips and moments from people on the island. Friendly throughout: Srilor's own pop-ups, clear words, dark mode and larger text.
