| Amidst the azure waters of the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka is, for many visitors, one of Asia's ultimate tropical island paradises. Medieval traders and contemporary tourist alike have been beguiled by the island's endless miles of golden beaches and abundant natural riches, from cinnamon to sapphires, from ancient cities to exhilarating safaris and elephants. Marco Polo declared it the finest island of its size in the world. |

Sri Lanka is not just famous for its beaches but also for its seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites, twelve protected national wildlife parks, tea plantations, Buddhist cave temples, ancient cities, stunning waterfalls, gem mines and more. Also, Sri Lanka is not a small island and its landscape is diverse. Sri Lanka has no motorways - driving 60 miles in certain parts of the island could easily take 2-3 hours. Sri Lanka is multicultural and multi religious so there are many festivals and public holidays every month. Taking all this into consideration, when booking holidays to Sri Lanka makes sure you book with someone who knows about Sri Lanka.

• Best Time to go to Sri Lanka | Sri Lanka Monsoon Season | Sri Lanka Weather
Climatically speaking, the best time to travel to Sri Lanka is the driest seasons in Sri Lanka which is from December to March for the west coast, the south coast and the Hill Country, and from April to September for the ancient cities region and the east coast. Great thing about Sri Lanka weather is even when it is clouded over its still hot and getting tanned. When the rain comes in Sri Lanka, majority of time it's only for couple hours and then the sun shines – this gives a cool breeze and a tropical feeling which is magical. But last few years, as same as rest of the world, the weather patterns in Sri Lanka have change significantly. So be ready to experience dry weather during the rainy season and vice versa.
Sri Lanka's climate means that it is always the 'right' beach season somewhere on the coast. Sri Lanka weather doesn't follow strict rules, though – it often seems to be raining where it should be sunny and sunny where it should be raining. Majority of time it's only for few minutes.
Sri Lanka monsoon season varies for different parts of the country and there are different types of monsoon in Sri Lanka. Southwest Monsoon - arrives in May bringing rains to south and central areas. During this time, temperatures can soar above 35 Celsius in the coastal regions of the south. Northeast Monsoon in Sri Lanka arrives in October and lasts until January. The wet season turns the northern countryside lush green with tropical vegetation and the vibrant colours can make this a wonderful time to visit despite the rain. Inter-Monsoon brings rain and thunderstorms to south and central areas during September and November.

• Getting About in Sri Lanka
Until recently Sri Lanka's main way of getting around is by a vehicle or private helicopter. But today, Sri Lankan Airlines has introduced Air Taxi to Bentota, Koggala, Dickwella, Kandy and Ampara. Currently there are schedule flights to Bentota, Koggala and Dickwella only.
It is possible to rent a car in Sri Lanka but we advise against it as the roads are poor and the driving conditions challenging. There are no motorways to travel in Sri Lanka. Cars, busses, animals and people all use a single carriage road. Moreover, it is very economical to hire a driver in Sri Lanka to travel about in Sri Lanka, allowing you to sit back and enjoy the journey. Our tourist board approved English speaking drivers and not just drivers, they are qualified guides who possess an extensive knowledge of the country enabling them to double up as tour guides. We offer several vehicle types to hire in Sri Lanka for your convenience: a saloon car ideal for 2-3 people; a mini-van ideal for 4-6 people or a 4WD jeep for a more comfortable travel experience.
Also, many of our customers enjoy doing part of their tour by train. The best scenic train journey in Sri Lanka is the train journey between Colombo and Badulla which stops at Kandy and Nuwara Eliya. Most visitors take the Kandy - Nuwara Eliya or Nuwara Eliya - Colombo journey. The train journey from Nuwara Eliya to Kandy or Colombo makes an interesting alternative to the car. The journey time is much the same, but the scenery is even more spectacular. Travel in the 1st class observation car is highly recommended, and if possible on an InterCity Express train. You can reserve seats through travelSrilanka.co.uk and arrange for your driver to follow the train with your luggage so you don't have to worry about hauling it all on board.
