Travel to Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka : When to go ?

Between mid-December and mid-March, the island knew its peak of the "Western" tourist Season. Many Europeans then travel to Sri Lanka, particularly on the west and south coasts, to flee the winter and spend the year-end celebrations in the sun. The price of the rooms is increased accordingly, if not multiplied by two or three, especially when in addition to the course of religious, cultural or sporting events (understand: cricket).From June to September, the east coast has a drier climate and this is the right time to go there. Most tourists visiting Sri Lanka at this time of year are taking refuge on this coast when they want to enjoy the charms of the beach.Two parties also attract a large island and expatriate population of Sri Lanka: Sinhala and Tamil New Year in April and the Fête Perahera festival in July-August. The latter particularly concerns Kandy (centre mountains) and Kataragama (south-East coast). It is difficult to stay and the island, like air transport to get there, is experiencing a new price surge.

A warm welcomeWhatever their origins or religion, Sri Lankans cultivate hospitality. All of you, your hosts and your interlocutors will try to help or inform you as much as possible. It is very rare to see someone getting involved or getting angry; Sri Lankans'legendary smile is on all lips. If you organise your stay with a local agency, you will also be able to sleep in the living room, this thriving accommodation is always an authentic experience.An affordable destinationSri Lanka remains one of the cheapest destinations in the market. Even though prices have increased significantly in recent years due to the larger taxes taken by the government.A Culture of CultureThe island abounds in top archaeological sites. Pagodas, monumental dagobas and exceptional sites abound. Buddhist culture has been producing treasures of Architecture and sculpture for over 2 300 years in museums, national parks and sites across the island.A colourful and spicy kitchenSri Lankan cuisine is delicious. It is known for its curries, a mix of vegetables and very refined meats, blending spices and oriental flavours. Accompanied by a guide commissioned by a local agency, you will be initiated to the Sri Lankan gastronomy.Beautiful beachesThe fine sandy beaches bordered by coconut trees are one of the most popular charms of several regions in the south and east of Sri Lanka, but also in Colombo (Mount Lavinia, Negombo) and the Kalpitiya peninsula.

Sri Lanka remains an affordable destination, even though prices have increased considerably in recent years and the costs of entry into major national parks and major sites remain fairly high. It is also certain that you will often pay a higher price than the inhabitants. Clearly displayed foreign rates will make it easy to make a difference.FormalitésSince 1 January 2012, an electronic visa (ETA) is required to visit Sri Lanka.
