Best Time to Visit Sri Lanka
Planning a visit to the beautiful island nation of Sri Lanka? Choosing the perfect time to explore this tropical paradise is crucial for an unforgettable experience. Nestled in the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka boasts a diverse landscape, from lush tea plantations to pristine beaches and ancient temples. The best time to visit Sri Lanka depends on your preferences and the kind of experience you are seeking. The island's southwest monsoon, occurring from May to September, brings lush green landscapes and is perfect for exploring the central hill country's tea plantations. In contrast, the dry season from December to March, influenced by the northeast monsoon, is ideal for sun-soaked beach vacations along the southern and eastern coasts. Understanding these seasonal variations is essential while you are planning a trip to Sri Lanka, whether you're seeking ideal weather conditions, vibrant cultural festivals, or wildlife encounters.

Sri Lanka Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our Sri Lanka tours
Alastair | Traveled in December
Good combination of two very different weeks. Good food and interesting and varied sights in Sri Lanka. Well organised and led, in very difficult circumstances during severe flooding and landslides! The boat tour of the Maldives was excellent, by far the best way of seeing this country. The boat was comfortable with great food and attentive crew. The main activity is snorkelling so if this is your thing you will love it!
Mark | Traveled in December
The Sri Lanka tour was excellent. The country offers a great variety of historical sites, wildlife and landscapes. The tour was well paced without ever feeling rushed. It does include a couple of early starts and there is a fair amount of barefoot walking within the temple complexes. Our guide Ash (ably supported by the driver Damit and assistant Harsha) was exceptional. He clearly has a love of his home country and was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history and the significance of the sites we visited. He was a great story teller and brought the past to life. Ash was always very attentive to the group to ensure we had the opportunity to try local foods and drinks and to visit local markets so as to get a greater sense of the life of everyday Sri Lankans. One highlight was a short visit to a family whose livelihood was dependent upon growing and then using every part of the coconut. A cracking trip which I can thoroughly recommend.
Franco | Traveled in December
Awesome tour of the main sites of Sri Lanka through the eyes of cycling the backroads. Definitely recommend this trip. Wonderful insight into the country, people, food, smells and sounds. And a special mention to the tremendous guide Ashan and his support team of cycle guides and drivers. Professional and enthusiastically helpful at all times. 10 out of 10 from me.
Anonymous | Traveled in December
This trip gave a very good insight into what Sri Lanka has to offer. Our guide 'Ash' entertained us en route to our destinations with stories which brought the history and culture to life. His passion for his country shone through every day and his sense of humour was infectious. He was ably assisted by Damith, our superb driver and Hamesh, his assistant, who was always there when we needed him. Our itinerary was varied from temples and wildlife to beaches and a world renown train journey on the Kandy to Ella train. We were very lucky in that we were one step ahead of the cyclonic depression which sadly left so much damage in it's wake.
Michael | Traveled in December
Sri Lanka Explore trip was excellent! Our guide was awesome and went above and beyond our expectations. Je had a vast knowledge of every area visited. Food and accommodation was great . We're going back .
