✓Accepted Answer

Unlike some of the strict northern temples in Jaffna, men are generally not required to remove their shirts to enter the Hindu temples in Kandy. However, both men and women must dress conservatively, ensuring their shoulders and knees are completely covered, and footwear must be removed.

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.

Unofficial Temple Guide ScamVerified

Men approach tourists near Temple of the Tooth offering to be guides. After the tour, they demand large "donations" or guide fees (5000-10000 LKR).
