Why Sri Lanka is still one of the best holiday destinations

Martha Hales

Sri Lanka is back on the map as a tourist destination, and we believe that travelling there now is more important than ever. The FCO advice against non-essential travel has lifted and the jewel of the Indian ocean awaits with the same bountiful joys that it offered before. All it needs is you.

Excellent South African self-drive holiday

"TravelLocal was not the first company I came across online. However, from their prompt replies and willingness to alter itineraries or plan based on my budget or other ideas I had soon set them apart from the competition"

Sri Lanka

How does TravelLocal work?

Why should I use TravelLocal?

WHEN TO GO

Sri Lanka’s location close to the equator ensures that you can rely on year-round warmth, but the monsoons complicate the picture as they affect different parts of the island at different times. Locals claim that the sun is always shining somewhere on the island, but for reliably settled weather without excessive humidity the best time to visit is between December and March.
