The Pearl of the Indian Ocean — ancient ruins, tea hills, wildlife and pristine beaches
Sri Lanka is an island that has everything — ancient civilizations, wildlife, pristine beaches, misty hill country with tea estates, and a warm Buddhist culture. In a country just 2.5 times the size of Kerala, you can see wild elephants in Minneriya, climb the Sigiriya rock fortress rising 200m from the jungle, sip tea at a colonial plantation in Nuwara Eliya, go whale watching in Mirissa, and surf the waves at Arugam Bay. Sri Lanka is one of Asia's best value destinations and offers an extraordinary range of experiences in a compact package.
December to March is best for the west and south coasts (Colombo, Galle, Mirissa) — dry and sunny. April to September is best for the east coast (Trincomalee, Arugam Bay). The Hill Country (Kandy, Nuwara Eliya) is pleasant year-round. Minneriya elephant gathering is peak July to October.
