SRI LANKA TRAVEL ADVICE
THE BEST TIME TO VISIT
Sri Lanka is a year-round destination but the best time really depends on which coast you're heading to. The west and south coasts shine from December to March, while the east coast peaks from April to September. The central highlands are gorgeous almost any time of year, just pack a light rain jacket!
FLIGHT & TRANSPORT
Sri Lanka's train network is one of the most scenic in the world; the ride from Kandy to Ella is seriously bucket list. Tuk-tuks are everywhere and great for getting around towns, and apps like PickMe make it easy to book a ride. On our tours, all transport between destinations is sorted for you!
CUISINE & FOOD
Sri Lankan food is next level. You have to try a proper rice and curry, kottu roti, and hoppers - a crispy bowl-shaped pancake that'll change your life. Fresh coconut everything is also a highlight. If you can handle the heat, go local over tourist menus every time!
VISA ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Most nationalities need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before arriving in Sri Lanka, which is easy to apply for online. Entry requirements and fees vary by nationality, so make sure to check your government's travel advice and apply well ahead of your trip!
FAQS
When is the best time to travel to Sri Lanka?
The best time to visit is betwen December to March for the south and west coasts, the temperatures are cooler then and this makes exploring so much more comfortable! However, anytime of year is great to visit Sri Lanka, if you like the heat, June-August are perfect for that and often have slightly reduced crowds too.
Is Sri Lanka expensive to visit?
Sri Lanka is a very affordable travel destination. It is a great option if you are travelling on a budget and want your money to stretch far! Booking a tour with TruTravels is also a great way to pay for the essentials in advance so when you arrive you only have to pay for the odd meal, drinks and any souvenirs you might want!
How much time should I spend in Sri Lanka?
We recommend 10–14 days to really get to know Sri Lanka. However, it is possible to see a huge amount of the country in 10 days, that's one of the benefits of joining a tour!

Yes! ATMs are widely available in cities and towns, though rural areas may have fewer options. Visa and Mastercard are usually accepted (especially at bank ATMs), but cash is still king, especially at markets and local stalls. Your Tru Leader will be able to help you with finding the best atms with the lowest charges.
