What is the standard deposit for a Sri Lanka tour?

To get a customised private tour in Sri Lanka confirmed, the usual deposit that they ask for is about 20% to 30% of the full package price.

That first payment gets used right away by the operator to lock in non-refundable room blocks at sought-after boutique hotels and to obtain high-demand train tickets. After that, the rest is commonly paid 14 to 30 days before your arrival, but in a few more flexible agreements, the balance may be paid straight in cash once you land at the airport.
