Sri Lanka



Sri Lanka lies just 27 kms off the southern tip of India. The only international airport is in Katunayake, 38 kms from Colombo which is the commercial capital. The main tourist areas are The South Coast with some of the finest beaches in Asia.
The fascinating attractions are in the island interior, The Cultural Triangle of world heritage sites of the ancient kingdoms; Sigiriya, Dambulla, Polonaruwa and Anuradhapura as well as the Hill Country where Kandy is the Hill Capital. There are the national parks such as Yala on the South East Coast. You can also now visit the East Coast at Trincomalee.


Sri Lanka has it all. You can have your dream holiday here whatever your requirements- wide soft palm-lined beaches for lazing, plantations to canoe or drive through, cool plains, lush forests, ancient temples, colourful festivals enhanced by smiling friendly people welcoming you.

Its compact size enables you to cover many experiences in a limited time and though an established tourist destination, remains largely unspoilt.We love Sri Lanka and have chosen to share with you the best and most beautiful hideouts for your holiday and help you explore your favorite places your way.

When to go?

The general year-round temperature does not vary much. The two monsoons...
  • South West: May/June and October / November
  • North East: November to March
...are distinct, meaning there is always a sunny beach. For more weather details see the climate review. Global warming has affected Sri Lanka too and the weather patterns are unpredictable at times. Monsoons can be short heavy showers or light drizzle all day.



December to March is the busiest season, ie more crowded, more expensive and liveliest atmosphere. For diving here, the water is calm and clear during this period. The Central Highlands – walking, cycling, bird watching etc –are cool and mainly dry Dec-April.

July to September are perfect months for those who don’t like intense heat and humidity but enjoy the odd day sunbathing. After the Spring monsoon, the plant life and white water rafting are also at their best.
The South East Coast now offers good beaches, diving and surfing from May to September.
