Overview

The jade pendant of the Indian Ocean was dubbed by Conde Nast Traveler in 2017, as the 12th best country in the world to visit. Discover Sri Lanka and its tranquil charms with experts in the field; walk through ancient cities, hike to the tallest peaks, and embark on adventures of love, nature, and culture. Esna Holidays believes in an extraordinary quality of life, where every journey should be a story worth telling. Our specialist travel agents in Sri Lanka are equipped to provide you with a tour of the island to suit your needs, whether you choose one of our pre-designed tours or like to craft one yourself. Highlights: WEATHER & BEST TIME TO VISIT The weather in Sri Lanka is dictated by two monsoon seasons which bring rain to the west and south-west coasts from May to September and the east coast and northern region between October and February. The rest of the year is sunny and dry. Temperatures are constant year-round, with coastal regions enjoying average temperatures of 25-30C and the highlands 15-18C on average. Sri Lanka is a year-round destination since there is something for every discerning traveler. From pilgrim experiences to adventure, culture, honeymoon, or even special interest experiences, there is something you can do in Sri Lanka anytime of the year. With recent weather pattern changes, it is hard to predict when it would rain and when the sun is out, however, making a note that Sri Lanka is a tropical destination and rain is to be expected anytime of the day, any time of the year; always helps.

Know Before You Go

Before starting your adventure trip across Sri Lanka, ensure your passport has a minimum of six months' validity and that you obtain a valid visa.

Be prepared for diverse climates as you’ll be exploring beaches, hills, and forested areas, so pack accordingly with breathable clothing, a light jacket, sturdy shoes, and swimwear. Keep sunscreen, mosquito repellent, and personal medication handy. Sri Lankan culture values modesty, so dress respectfully, especially at temples. Respect wildlife and local customs during your journey. ATM availability is limited in remote areas, so carrying some cash is advisable. Travel insurance covering medical and activity-related incidents is highly recommended.
