Best time to visit Sri Lanka
If you are planning a visit to Sri Lanka, you don’t have to worry much about the weather. The country has a tropical climate with warm temperatures throughout the year, where you can enjoy both dry and wet seasons.
There’s this interesting thing about this Island country that it got two monsoon seasons, so keeping this in mind is good to go. On each side of the island, this monsoon takes turn which affects the east and north regions where the sun shines in the south and west regions and vice versa.
The best time to visit Sri Lanka depends on which part of the country you are planning to visit.
If you plan to visit the center of the country to explore the cultural triangle and the magnificent south coast beaches and west coast, then you can visit between October and March.
To explore the amazing east and the north coast, April to September is the most suitable time. December to mid-April is peak season when all the attractive tourist sites are mostly very crowded and the hotels get busier and prices are higher comparatively. But nothing to worry about if you book your accommodations earlier. To get the best price and a hassle free booking contact us at:
