Sri Lanka has a unique climate, which means that different parts of the island are better to visit at different times. As one of our most popular destinations, we can steer you to the best locations to suit your holiday period. Generally, during Christmas and Easter, we include time to relax on the picturesque southern coast beaches which will be dry and sunny. During the European summer, beach time is focussed on the east coast. For both itineraries, the wildlife of the national parks and the ancient sites of the Cultural Triangle are a must.

However, with an ever changing world climate, it is perfectly possibly to take a scenic train ride through the highlands to the famed tea plantations around Ella in July and August too. Just expect some tropical showers!
