You absolutely do not need to convert your British Pounds into US Dollars before traveling. Every single official currency exchange place and major bank in Sri Lanka readily and happily accepts British Pounds GBP, Euros, and Australian Dollars at highly competitive exchange rates. Bringing clean, crisp, untorn GBP notes directly from the UK is the smartest financial choice, as converting to USD first just forces you to pay double conversion fees uselessly.
