Temple / kovil / mosque near Kandy: shoulders and knees covered. Shoes on the rack, hats off inside, camera down if signed. Street clothes are mixed; inside is not. A shawl in the bag saves the day. No drone.

If you're tired, stay nearer the bus stand / town centre in Kandy and skip chasing a perfect sunset. Pull cash in Colombo, Kandy, or Galle first — cards are a maybe. Locals will tell you if a ticket is counter-only.
