The best time to visit Sri Lanka is from December to April, since these are months when Sri Lanka experiences the lowest rainfall. However, the climate plays a major role in deciding the best time to visit Sri Lanka.
In Sri Lanka, two distinct monsoons hit the country at different times of the year and in different regions. That means, while there is rainfall on one side of the country, the other is best to spend hours on beaches.
Since December to April marks the months with high tourist arrivals, you can opt to visit Sri Lanka during the months of May to August to avoid the crowds. No matter which month you choose, Sri Lanka has a lot of vibrance and charm to offer during each month of the year.
