At Explore Hidden Sri Lanka, honesty and transparency are important. This Disclosure page explains how I run this website, how I may earn income from it, and what you can expect when reading the content here. By visiting this site, you agree that you understand and accept the following.
Purpose of This Website
The main purpose of Explore Hidden Sri Lanka is to share stories, guides, and cultural insights about Sri Lanka. My goal is to represent the beauty of my country and inspire travelers to discover its hidden gems. While this website is first and foremost a passion project, it may also include ways to support its upkeep through partnerships, advertisements, or affiliate programs.
Affiliate Links
Some of the links on this website are affiliate links. This means that if you click on one of these links and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
These commissions help me cover the costs of running the site — things like hosting, design, and the time it takes to write and maintain content. I only recommend products, tours, or services that I genuinely believe are useful and relevant for travelers.
Sponsored Content
From time to time, I may work with tourism boards, companies, or brands to create sponsored content. This means I might receive compensation in exchange for writing about a destination, service, or product.
Whenever a post is sponsored, I will make sure it is clearly labeled so you can easily identify it. I will never accept sponsorships from companies that do not align with the purpose of this blog.
Advertising
Explore Hidden Sri Lanka may display advertising banners or promotions. These ads are usually served through third-party networks such as Google AdSense. While I do my best to ensure ads are relevant and safe, I do not have full control over what is shown. Please use your discretion when clicking on external ads.
Reviews and Recommendations
Any reviews or recommendations you read here are based on my own experiences or research. I always aim to provide honest opinions, whether positive or negative. However, everyone’s travel experience is unique, and what works well for me may not always work the same way for you.
No Professional Advice
The information on this website is intended to inspire and inform. It should not be taken as legal, medical, or professional advice. Always do your own research and consult with professionals if needed before making travel decisions.
Your Trust
Maintaining your trust is important. I will never promote something I do not believe in, and I will always disclose when there is a financial relationship behind the content. Transparency allows you to make your own informed decisions.
Changes to This Disclosure
I may update this Disclosure from time to time to reflect changes in the way I operate the site. Any updates will be posted here with a revised date.

Final Note
Explore Hidden Sri Lanka is built on passion for travel, culture, and storytelling. Some links or partnerships may help support this project, but they will never compromise the honesty or authenticity of the content you read here.
