Sri Lanka enjoys tropical weather year-round, but timing your visit right can make a big difference.
West and South Coast (Best: December to March)
The driest and sunniest months along the popular western and southern coastlines.
East Coast (Best: May to September)
When the southwest monsoon brings rain to the west, the east coast enjoys its dry season.
Hill Country (Best: January to April)
The central highlands around Ella, Nuwara Eliya, and Kandy are driest from January to April.
Cultural Triangle (Best: January to September)
Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, and Anuradhapura enjoy favorable weather for most of the year.
Wildlife (Best: February to July)
National parks like Yala are best visited during the dry months.
