If you're adventurous, try white-water rafting on the Kelani River. Exploring the tea plantations in the hill country, perhaps visiting a tea factory like Pedro Tea Estate, is another popular activity. And don't forget to take a train journey through the hill country – it's scenic.
  • What are the best luxury hotels in Sri Lanka?

    Riff Hikkaduwa, Marino Beach Colombo and Elegant Hotel are among the best luxury hotels in Sri Lanka.

  • When is the ideal time to visit Sri Lanka?

    The best time depends on where you plan to go. Generally, December to March is the peak tourist season, with dry weather across much of the island. However, the south coast is best visited from November to April, while the cultural triangle is good year-round, though it can be hot. The southwest is best avoided during the monsoon season (May to September).
  • What are the best family friendly hotels in Sri Lanka?

    The best family friendly hotels in Sri Lanka are Il Frangipane, Chill Ville - View Point Hotel and Karpaha Sands.

  • Which neighbourhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Sri Lanka?

    A week allows for exploring different regions. For a balance of culture, history and nature, consider basing yourself in Kandy for a few days, then moving to the cultural triangle (Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, Dambulla) and finally relaxing on the coast at Bentota or Unawatuna. Alternatively, explore the hill country, focusing on Nuwara Eliya and Ella.

  • Which parts of Sri Lanka are perfect for a weekend getaway?

    Good Karma, Karpaha Sands and Marino Beach Colombo are the best hotels with a jacuzzi in Sri Lanka.

  • Is renting a car recommended for exploring Sri Lanka?

    Renting a car offers flexibility, especially if you plan to explore beyond main tourist areas. However, driving conditions can be challenging, and traffic in cities can be heavy. Consider using a driver if you're not comfortable driving on the left. Public transport, including trains and buses, is also an option for travelling between cities.

  • What are the largest airports in Sri Lanka?

    Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) near Colombo is the main international airport. Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport (HRI) is another international airport, but it serves fewer international flights.
  • Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Sri Lanka?

    Sri Lanka is a predominantly Buddhist country, so dressing modestly when visiting temples is important. Removing your shoes before entering homes and some temples is customary. Showing respect for Buddhist monks and elders is also appreciated. It's polite to use your right hand for eating and exchanging money.
  • What local specialties should you try in Sri Lanka?

    Sri Lankan cuisine is delicious! Try kottu roti, a stir-fried dish made with roti, vegetables and meat. Rice and curry is a staple, with many variations. Don't miss out on string hoppers, a type of rice noodle, and various curries, including dhal curry and fish curry. For a sweet treat, sample kiribath, a milk rice dish.
  • Where are the best shopping spots in Sri Lanka?

    Colombo offers a range of shopping options, from high-end boutiques to local markets like Pettah Market. Nuwara Eliya is known for its tea shops, while Galle Fort has many souvenir shops and art galleries. Barefoot Garden Cafe in Colombo is also a great place to find unique Sri Lankan crafts.

    Sri Lanka hosts many vibrant festivals. The Kandy Esala Perahera, a spectacular procession with elephants and dancers, is a highlight. Sinhala and Tamil New Year is a major celebration, and the Poson Poya, a Buddhist festival, is also significant. These are just a few of the many festivals throughout the year.
  • What’s the best place in Sri Lanka for mild and comfortable weather?

    The hill country, particularly Nuwara Eliya, offers milder temperatures year-round, making it a good escape from the heat of the lowlands. The average temperature is around 16-20°C.
  • What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Sri Lanka?
