Hi, 1. If you are not used to cold climates avoid Nuwaraeliya, since very cold climate there bellow 10C. only April can be recommended to visit there since temperature is bit high in april. 2. You can find a cab service yourself or ask the hotel you staying,they will find one. and I don't think you would need a tour operator. ask the hotel about attractions around the area. or buy a guiding book. 3. Your longest trip is Nuwaraeliya to Trincomalee, it would cost around 20000 Srilankan Rupees.(guessing) about 75000 will be enough for all trips and foods. 4. No idea about this. 5. wear modest dress on sacred places. and don't take pictures posing your back to the Buddhist Pagodas. That's all and have fun !
