Sri Lanka Travel Advice

Sri Lanka is a year-round destination, but the weather varies depending on which part of the island you’re visiting. We’ve put together a handy guide to the different seasons, so you can work out the best time to visit the beaches, wildlife parks and cultural sights you’re most interested in.

Before you head off, there are a few practical things to sort, from checking your passport and visa requirements to working out how much cash you’ll need. We’ve gathered the key information about visas, passports, currency and paying for things in Sri Lanka, so you can get the admin out of the way before you go.

We think one of the best ways to experience Sri Lanka is by travelling with your own private driver. It gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace and stop for a chai, a viewpoint or an unexpected roadside attraction whenever you fancy it. You can also travel by train, tuk-tuk and other local transport, so take a look at our guide to see what works best for your trip.

We can arrange your international flights as part of your Sri Lanka holiday, taking one more thing off your to-do list. If your itinerary includes domestic flights, we can arrange those too, so your whole trip is planned and booked in one place.
