THE CLIMATE

We could experience a period of drought in Sigiriya despite having monsoon rains in Kandy with a difference of 70 kilometres from one location to another.

The question is to know that the monsoons come from the south-west in the months of May, June, July, August, September and October, giving the opportunity to visit areas such as Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya, Trincomalee, Pasekudah, Arugam Bay and others without fear big rains.

Similarly, the north-east monsoon we have in November, December, January, February, March and April can experience rainfall in the areas mentioned, yet we will quietly visit the entire Colombo area, much of the west and south coasts. , Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Yala in this country the rains alternate with the sun at any time of the year.

This is why we have this spectacular nature that dazzles everyone.
