The climate is generally temperate, with temperatures rarely rising above 35? C. The central highlands have a much cooler climate with mean temperatures hovering at a comfortable 16 degrees dition, the final day of the four devales (Vishnu, Natha,
Best Time to Visit Sri Lanka
Fortunately for most tourists (and for the local economy, which is largely dependent on tourism as a source of income!), Sri Lanka’s climate is pretty balmy – cool, pleasant and without the extremes of temperature encountered in countries like India.
Ideally, the best time to visit Sri Lanka is either between December and March, if you’re headed for the highlands or the west and south coasts, or between May and September, if you’re visiting the east coast.
PEAK SEASON TO VISIT SRILANKA
‘Popular speak’, and impacting the weather for tourists, there are four seasons plus two gray areas following the main monsoons. Monsoon is a wind pattern, deciding the waves/currents at sea and until some extent the rains on the land.
Northeast monsoon, mid December-February, meaning bad weather on East coast and good dry weather in Southwest.First intermonsoon, popularly defined as June and first half of July. Metrology defines it a bit differently. Southwest monsoon, second half of July through September. Good weather on East coast; on Southwest it’s still nice sunny mornings, but cloud build-up at some point in the afternoon followed by brief heavy showers. South western sea has heavy currents and waves.Secondintermonsoon, generally from late October until mid December.
Things to do in Sri Lanka for North Indians:-
Trek to Adam's Peak
Adam's Peak, Sri Lanka, Asia
Adam's Peak (Sri Pada) is on the south western edge of the hill country in Sri Lanka. It is a dramatic scene and is a place of pilgrimage between the months of December and May (for Buddhists, Hindus and Christians). You have to climb at night, not only because of the heat, but also in order that you see the sunrise and the legendary sripada shadow (which is a perfect triangle). My partner really wanted to do this, and I have to say I was reluctant (its around 3 hours of gruelling climb and 8000km). However, it really was a highlight of the trip, and definitely worth doing. We stayed at the Punsisi Rest which was clean, safe and spacious accommodation.
Visit Citadel of Sigiriya - Lion Rock
Citadel of Sigiriya - Lion Rock, Sigiriya, Central Province
Sigiriya Rock is to the North of Dam bulla, and is a World Heritage Site. Of all of the Cultural Triangle sites, this is well worth seeing. However, it is worth noting that the entrance fee is steep ($25) and you're pounced on by the eager (and to be fair extremely informative) guides as soon as you arrive (who don't tell you that their cost is in addition to the entrance fee). That said, it really is worth going. Go early, to avoid the heat and take a guide book if you're on a budget. The history and sheer engineering of the place is astounding, and much like the rest of Sri Lanka, the nature in the area is an added bonus. Also, much like Adam's Peak, the sense of achievement once you get to the top makes it all worthwhile!
Visit Unawatuna
Unawatuna, Galle
Unawatuna was perhaps our favourite beach (although Mirissa and Weligama are close rivals). The bay nearest the Dagoba is best for swimming, but it does get fairly crowded on a weekend by the locals (although this in itself is fun). It's close enough to Galle to visit by Tuktuk (and Galle is easily seen in a day or two), and has a nice pace of life. Our favourite hotel there was the Flower Garden (for cleanliness, security, and the wonderful breakfasts). However, we did go elsewhere to try to save some money (Flower Garden is reasonable-around £20 per night...but we were on a tight budget!), and found the Dhammika to also be of a very good standard.
Visit Golden Cave Temple
Golden Cave Temple, Dambulla, Central Province
Again part of the cultural triangle, the Dambulla Caves are full of beautiful buddhist relics, and offer a real sanctuary high up above the bustle. Again the entrance fee is steep (like the steps), but worth it when you're there.
Visit Amaya Lake
Amaya Lake, Dambulla, Central Province
The Amaya Lake Hotel was our first stop in Sri Lanka and a wonderful introduction to the country. It's expensive, but we knew that before we arrived. Nonetheless, it is good value for the money, and a fantastic place to relax. We used it as a base for seeing the cultural triangle, which worked really well, and the pool was a god send when returning from all those climbs
Stay in Ella Village
Ella, Uva Province
Ella is a beautiful little village in the hill country, set amongst the lush green tea plantations. We only spent a night there, and to be honest i don't know that you need that much more, but felt really refreshed by our stay. We spent the afternoon walking along the railway line, through the jungle and along to the waterfall. We stayed at the Tea Garden hotel which had a lovely view of Ella Gap and Ella Rock; and we ate at a local bar (which i can't remember the name of but it had lots of pictures of bob marley), where the rice and curry was wonderful and the games of Karrom and drinks of Arrack went down a storm
Visit Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage
Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, Pinnawala, Sabaragamuwa Province
Pinnewala is an elephant orphanage just close to Kandy. We visited at about 2pm, as it is recommended that you arrive in time for feeding (which predictably is morning, midday and evening). The feeding itself wasn't so captivating-the elephants have to be chained up for this, so its slightly uncomfortable viewing. However, after lunch, the elephants head down to the river, through the village for bathing. This was wonderful-i could have watched for hours.
Visit Yala National Park
Yala National Park, Sri Lanka
Yala is expensive. You pay not only to get in, but also for your jeep, and unsurprisingly, a tour guide. However, if you're into animals, which my partner is, it's worth it! We didn't manage to see a leopard, but he was happy with a speckled cobra.
SHOPPING PLACES IN SRILANKA :-
Whether it is gems, handicrafts, tea, spices, batik print or even furniture that you're looking for, Sir Lanka offers everything. This beautiful island country is particularly popular for handloom fabrics, leather, and antiques and ceramic. We give you the top 10 shopping places you shouldn't miss in Sri Lanka.
Shopping in Colombo
Laksala
With a numerous branches all over the country, this state-run handcrafts emporium offers items such as brass and silverware objects, wooden artifacts, buffalo horn, natural fibres, artificial flowers and costume jewellery. They also have products made from coconut shells, cane, bamboos and pottery. Visit the one in Colombo as it is the biggest and best.
Majestic City
This multi-storeyed shopping mall in Colombo is situated on Galle Road. The mall has a variety of branded shops which sell everything from clothes, linen, books, stationary and more. Majestic City also has a cinema and internet cafes.
Odel
Odel is located at 5 Alexander Place on Lipton Circus in Colombo. This mall is a haven for fashionistas as it has the best-known branded garment factory outlet. You'll find clothes, accessories, shoes, bags, cosmetics, home décor, chocolates and toiletries from international labels such as Gap, DKNY etc. You can't miss this one.
House of Fashion
House of Fashion in Colombo is for serious shoppers as the three-storey outlet offers branded clothes at a hugely discounted price.
The Barefoot Gallery
Barefoot Gallery is located at 706 Galle Road and offers a variety of handloom products. You can pick up toys, notebooks bound in handloom fabrics, hand-painted boxes, tote bags, clothes, costume jewellery, linens in vibrant colours and designs.
Galle Shopping
When visiting Sri Lanka, you cannot miss out Galle Fort. Besides the scenic beauty, Galle also offers antiques, lace and souvenirs which you can pick up at little shops and stalls. You can also pick semi-precious stones in silver and beautiful laces here.
Gingota Silk Factory
Gingota Silk Factory in Galle has good quality and reasonable Sri Lankan silk. You can also pick up batik, leather products and spices around the area.
Waruna Antiques
If you want to pick up ancient temple painting, statues or even replicas, then Waruna Antiques is your best bet. Located at Peradeniya Road in Kandy, the store offers masks, jewellery, textiles and more.
Shoba Display Gallery
Beautiful lacework made right here. The shop teaches local women dying crafts and ensures them a fair price for their work. Even if you’re not buying, pop in to witness the process of making lace. Ask about the excellent lace- and paper-making classes. The small cafe is a treat.
Paradise Road
In addition to a variety of colonial and Sri Lankan collectables, you’ll find a good selection of original homewares and designer items in this high-style boutique from famous designer Shanth Fernando. Elsewhere, the Paradise Road Gallery Cafe shop adjoins the noted restaurant and is tightly packed with small, artistic goods. Both are excellent places to look for small gifts to take home.
Buddhist Publication Society
The Buddhist Publication Society, on the lakeside 400m northeast of the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, is a nonprofit charity that distributes the Buddha’s teachings. Local scholars and monks occasionally give lectures, and there is a comprehensive library. See online for free information downloads. It’s a good place to ask about meditation courses.
Sri Lanka Cashew Corporation
Cashews were brought by the Portuguese to Sri Lanka from Brazil in the 16th century. They’ve clearly found the climate agreeable as the nuts are now a major export item. This small shop is packed full of fulsome cashews of a size and quality that are usually hard to find, especially in that dodgy bag of mixed nuts.
Shopping in Bentota
Bentota Bazaar Overview
Situated in the middle of the town of Bentota, this local market has quite a few shops where you can shop for a variety of articles. These include Batik textiles, mementos and gift items made using decorated and carved wood and brassware. Prices are genuine as most of the shops are government approved, and there is also a post office in close proximity to the bazaar from where you can pick up stamps and postcards.
Hotel Gift Shops
You will find most of your shopping needs fulfilled within the premises of your hotel/resort. Most of the hotels have a gift shop/souvenir shop from where you can buy mementos and handicrafts, making it very convenient to take back home a little bit of Bentota.
Meetiyagoda
An important attraction for shoppers, Meetiyagoda is an important area in Southern Sri Lanka which is extremely famous for its moonstone treasures. Known for its soothing powers, moonstone is a semi-precious gem that is widely used in making jewellery. Meetiyagoda is one of the best places to shop for moonstone jewellery in Sri Lanka.
Shopping in Kandy
Kandy’s got quite enough to see and do, and if you want to shop or get steeped in culture, make your way to the Kandyan Art Association & Cultural Centre, next to Kandy Lake. You will find plenty a good selection of local lacquer work, brassware and other craft items in these centres. Antique jewellery, silver belts, elephant figurines, ceremonial masks and elegant home furnishings and textiles are the other items that can be found in Kandy. Kandy is also a notable gemstone producing area offering rubies, sapphires, beryls, zircon and quartz.
