✓Accepted Answer

Yes, you absolutely must remove your shoes before entering the Kurinchi Kumaran Temple in Peradeniya, just like any other Hindu shrine in Sri Lanka. There is a designated area near the entrance to safely leave your footwear while you explore the beautiful hilltop grounds.

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.
