Traveling to Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka definitely has its challenges making it unfit for travel for periods, but we have been lucky enough to visit the southern half of this stunning country without a care in the world. Not only did we spend time at some of the most beautiful beaches we have ever experienced, but we also met lovely people everywhere. This country quite literally has it all; lots of history, amazing wildlife experiences, and beautiful nature unlike anything else. If it is safe to go then go – if our experience says anything then you will not regret it.

Currency

The Sri Lankan currency is called Rupee (LKR).

When to visit

The best time to visit Sri Lanka is in the dry season (December to April).

Language

The official language in Sri Lanka is English.
