A Classic Sweep Through Sri Lanka's Coast, Culture and Hill Country

Best Time to Visit Sri Lanka
December to March offers the driest, most comfortable weather across Colombo, Kandy and the hill country, with Nuwara Eliya's cool climate at its most pleasant for tea estate walks. April to September remains generally good for the hill country, though the southwest monsoon can bring afternoon rain to Colombo and Kandy, while October and November see the heaviest rainfall across most of the island.
