Want exterior photos at Asgiriya mid-morning. Any restrictions we should know before walking over. Not Temple of the Tooth photo rules inside, and not lake photo spots after a shower.

Exterior photos are usually fine from public pavement if you stay respectful and off restricted gates. Avoid drones and do not block devotees.

Gem Museum Commission ScamVerified

TukTuk or tour drivers take you to "gem museums" or "government-certified" gem shops. They receive huge commissions (up to 40%) on anything you buy. Prices are inflated 3-10x the actual value.

Men approach tourists near Temple of the Tooth offering to be guides. After the tour, they demand large "donations" or guide fees (5000-10000 LKR).
