Sri Lanka is a year-round tropical destination, but the best time to visit depends on the region due to two monsoon seasons:

• West, South Coast & Hill Country – Best from December to April
• East Coast & North – Best from May to September

The weather is generally warm and humid throughout the year, with coastal temperatures averaging 27–32°C (81–90°F). The hill country is cooler, especially in places like Nuwara Eliya and Ella. You may experience occasional rain, especially during the monsoon periods, but sunny days are still common even then.

• Last-minute cancellations may not be refundable, especially during peak season.
• Flights: Refundability depends on the airline and ticket type (some are non-refundable, some offer credit or rebooking).
