Sri Lanka is a year-round destination. However, the best time to visit Sri Lanka is during the dry season from December to April, when the weather is best for exploring the country’s attractions.
Sri Lanka’s architecture spans ancient Buddhist temples, colonial-era buildings, traditional Kandyan structures, Dutch fortifications, and modern innovations. Some of the best attractions to wonder about Sri Lankan architecture are Anuradhapura, Sigiriya Rock Fortress, Temple of Tooth Relic in Kandy, and the stupas of Polonnaruwa.
Sri Lanka’s culture is a fusion of ancient Buddhist traditions, Hindu influences, and colonial heritage, expressed through historic temples, vibrant festivals and exquisite handicrafts. The key festivals celebrated are Sinhala, Tamil New Year, Diwali, Pongal, and Mahashivratri.
Sri Lankan cuisine is inspired by Sinhala cuisine. The cuisine presents an enticing array of spicy curries, aromatic rice dishes, and flavourful seafood. Some must-try authentic dishes are Fish ambul thiyal (fish curry) and Kukul mas curry (chicken curry).
