Best time to travel
Sri Lanka is an all-year-round holiday destination, but there can be mild to heavy rains from time to time. The usual best time to visit is between December to March especially if you plan to hit the beaches in the West and South coasts. The sunny weather makes it ideal to visit the hill country too. But traveling during the other months isn’t bad either since airfares and accommodation are cheaper.
Note- Check the weather if you plan to do specific excursions like hiking, surfing or whale watching because that’s when you would really need to be concerned about the weather.
Here are a few more tips…
- Do carry mosquito repellent as there can be nasty mosquitos be it night or day.
- Wear sunscreen as it can get pretty sunny outside.
- Carry small cash with you especially when traveling outside of Colombo because most shops/restaurants will not welcome large notes and may not have card machines.
- Beware of your belongings at all times. The country is generally a safe place to visit, but use your common sense and be alert.
- Sri Lankans use their hands to eat so do try this because only then can you can truly indulge in the flavors of their tasty food 🙂
- Tuk-tuks are a good way to travel about but make sure you ask the driver to switch on the meter or negotiate a price beforehand. Uber is widely available too.
- Avoid drinking tap water and stick to bottled water which is widely available.
