What is the entry fee for Nil Diya Pokuna?

There isn't any official government entry fee for Nil Diya Pokuna, but visitors still have to pay the local guide who guides the tour and helps with the route. The guide fee usually sits around 3,000 to 5,000 Sri Lankan Rupees (LKR) per person. 

This payment is necessary. It funds the guides' careful knowledge, safety gear rentals such as head torches and ropes, and the passage through private village pathways. Costs can shift a bit depending on your group size and which access point you use, so it is smart to discuss it ahead of time and confirm the exact rate before you go.
