Best time to travel to Sri Lanka

The season other than the rainy season is the best season. In the coastal lowlands, the temperature is high throughout the year, but as the altitude rises, it becomes a Japanese spring-like climate.

Clothes

Sri Lanka can be worn all year round in summer clothes. However, there are places in the highlands where the temperature is low and the air conditioner is too effective. Please note that clothing that exposes your skin is strictly prohibited when you go to the temple.

Spices can be used to break your stomach. Try to avoid hypnosis and hunger, and keep your hands hygienic, such as washing your hands before eating. Also, be careful of colds because there are differences in temperature, such as hot outside and cold indoors.
