Discover the ideal time and essentials for your Sri Lanka adventure.
The best time to visit Sri Lanka is during the dry season, which runs from December to April. The weather is warm and sunny during this time, with average temperatures ranging from 25 to 33 degrees Celsius. The southwest coast is trendy during this time, as it is the country's driest region.
If you are looking for cooler weather, you can visit the east coast or the hill stations, which are best seen from May to September. The northeast is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit is from February to September.
Please note that this is just a general guide, and the best time to visit Sri Lanka will vary depending on your personal preferences and the activities you want to do.
What should you pack for the Sri Lanka tours?
Humidity: Sri Lanka can be very humid, making you feel sticky and sweaty. Packing waterproof dry bags, phone covers, insect repellent, and other items is important to protect your belongings and yourself from the elements.
Rain: Sri Lanka can experience sudden changes in weather, with it boiling one minute and pouring rain the next. Packing a waterproof jacket that is not too thick is important so that you can stay dry and comfortable even in the rain.
Water: There are many waterfalls and island hopping activities in Sri Lanka, so it is a good idea to pack a GoPro or waterproof camera to capture your adventures.
