We are going to Sri Lanka in six weeks time from the uk and i was wondering what would be the best currency to take?Would it be possible to take sterling or would i be better off with travellers cheques?

I would take a small amount in Pounds cash, and change some into Rupees on arrival at the airport. Travellers cheques are useful from a security perspective, but can only be changed at banks, which might be a hassle. Have you considered using a Visa card and drawing cash from ATMs when you need it? Commercial bank has many ATMs around the country, although your bank may charge you a percentage transaction fee.
