Essential Information for your Private Tour of Sri Lanka
The best time to visit Sri Lanka depends significantly on which part of the country you want to experience, due to a unique climate influenced by two monsoon seasons.
It’s best to visit the south and west coasts from December to March, which offers ideal weather for beaches and sightseeing. Alternatively, April to September is a great time to visit areas along the east coast when it’s dry and sunny.
A quick trip of 7 days is enough to fit in the cultural triangle of Sigiriya, Dambulla, and Kandy with a bit of beach time in places like Mirissa or Unawatuna. However, a well-rounded trip between 10 and 16 days allows you to truly connect with the country and its diverse culture.
