Summer or High Season
Best Time: December - April
This is the best time to visit the southern and western parts of the country such as Colombo, Bentota, Kalpitiya, and Galle. This is also a great time to explore the beautiful Yala National Park, without having to worry about getting stuck in the rains. January to April is perfect for the cultural triangle tour (Anuradhapura, Sigiriya, Dambulla, etc). You can also experience Duruthu, a Sri Lankan full-moon festival that happens in January, or Avurudu, the Sinhalese New Year, on April 14.
