Tuk tuk speaker bans near open air Yoga Shalas in Hiriketiya

Question

We are renting a tuk tuk in Hiriketiya. We were told we are not allowed to play music on our vehicle speakers near the yoga shalas on the hill. Is this a real rule.

Kamal S. · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is a very strict community rule. The inland hills of Hiriketiya and Dikwella are home to numerous open-air yoga shalas and meditation centers. Blasting bass from a passing tuk-tuk completely shatters the peace. Local guesthouses and expats have heavily petitioned to keep these zones quiet. Please turn your music off when driving away from the main beach.

Sophia M. · Answer

The locals will literally step into the road and wave you down to turn it off if you are too loud.

Emma R. · Answer

It is just common courtesy. Those shalas are entirely open to the jungle so every sound carries.

Noah K. · Answer

Even the bread vans (choon paan) lower their volume when driving past the retreat centers there.
