Have you traveled all across South India and loved its culture?
Well, then, you would probably adore the feel of Sri Lanka. One of India’s closest neighbours, this country holds unparalleled beauty that you must see to believe, and it now offers visa-free travel for Indians.
But hold on!
What about insurance for the trip? Stepping out of the country is risky, but doing so without proper safety measures is outright dangerous.
Sri Lanka travel insurance can significantly reduce your financial burden in the event of emergencies on the trip. Whether it is a sudden medical need or you end up losing your baggage in transit, your insurer will bear the cost for all such unplanned instances. Being able to claim such help, especially when you are in a foreign land, can be a lifesaver.
No, Sri Lanka does not mandate travel insurance for individuals travelling from India. Nonetheless, it is a wise move to opt for such policy coverage on your travels to the island nation. As a traveller, you may face several serious issues, leading to increased financial liability during the trip.
