How did you take the drone to Sri Lanka ? What was the process ?

[@DaveMani]

You have to register online, its pretty easy but can be a bit expensive depending on how many place you want to fly.

[@Lanzeberg12]

⁠@@DaveManiwhat do you mean you have to register? That means I can’t simply take my drone to Sri Lanka and fly it around? Or this just applies to the official objectives like the one you visited… I am confused because I thought I am free to do it wherever I want. I’ve been last year to Sri Lanka because my husband is Sri Lankan and we visited some places but I haven’t had my drone with my but this year I want to take it with me and what you said just confused me because it never crossed my mind that I might have to ask permission/register/be allowed to fly it.

[@matheesha-ls]

Here's a way to calculate the three-wheeler fair (this is how the meter calculates the price), the starting price is rs.100 so even if you are travelling 100m you should pay rs.100 it is the minimum price. After the 1st kilometer rs.10 will be added to the total after every 100m, so if you traveled 2.4km you would have to pay rs.250. (it's rs.250 because rs.10 will be added after hitting the 1km mark) Hope this helps 🙃

[@NishakaWickrama]

Hey mate, don’t let the tuk tuk drivers from the 9 arch bridge get to you. They’re just leeches. Instead, take a step forward. Once you do, the tuk tuk drivers will start trying to bargain. If you’re happy with the price, you can take the tuk tuk. But if not, you can always walk that short distance. They take a long way to get to your destination to show you that the ride is worth it, but it’s not. They shouldn’t do it, but unfortunately, they’re doing it the wrong way. Sorry about that. It’s definitely an expensive ride, with a maximum price of 1500, which might be worth it depending on your budget.

[@Elsa_Jennifer]

Absolutely correct. I was shocked hearing 3000 rupees, it was a 1.5km ride.

A little correction Rs,3000 is a fixed bothways, even you do one part of the journey hike, I have seen 100s of video states this price, so pretty sure that driver done you a favour. Thanks ❤

I believe that yes but at the same time, 3000 is very high for the distance. It's a high tourist area and that's why which is fine.
