Sri Lanka Can Be Visited At Any Time Of The Year. However, Yala National Park Closes In September And Part Of October Of Each Year Due To Drought.

The South West And Deep South Beaches
The Beach Season Is Between November And April. It Is Also Possible To Visit During The Summer, As Visitors Benefit From Highly Discounted Hotel Rates But The Seas May Be Choppy With Some Rainfall.
