Earlier, the government had barred 39 countries from the earlier scheme of visa-free arrival and added more countries in the list on 1st August 2019. The list included Indian citizens being allowed to travel to Sri Lanka without a visa till 1st February 2020, which has now been extended, read a report. 

India is major for Sri Lankan tourism which is the reason why the stay has been extended and so that Indians can plan their travel. Other countries who can enjoy this benefit include  Denmark, Russia, China, England, and Sweden.

There is loads to see in Sri Lanka and when it comes to food, the country has a lot to offer. The currency of Sri Lanka is way cheaper for Indians, as well as the current conversion rate is 1 Sri Lankan Rupee equals 0.40 Indian Rupee, which may vary so do check. In fact the best time to visit the south and west coasts is from December to March, while the east coast is from April/May to September.
