Traveling with elderly parents or mobility needs — any practical tips for Sri Lanka?

Choose accommodations with ground-floor rooms or elevators, and easy access to attractions. Private drivers are often more comfortable than public transport for longer journeys. Allow extra time for everything and plan shorter, less intense days. Some hotels and attractions have limited accessibility, so checking in advance helps. Tuk-tuks can be bumpy; cars or vans are usually more comfortable. Heat and humidity can be tiring, so plan indoor or shaded activities during the hottest part of the day. Many older travelers enjoy Sri Lanka with proper pacing and comfortable transport. Some hotels cater specifically to seniors or have experience with mobility needs. Asking about accessibility features when booking is worthwhile.
