Things to Look Out For
Two monsoons, two coasts
Sri Lanka runs two opposite monsoons on one small island. The south-west coast and the hill country are dry December to March; the east coast around Trincomalee and Arugam Bay is dry May to September, when the south-west is wet. There is almost always a dry coast. You just have to be on the right one for the month.
The hill-country train
The Kandy-to-Ella line through the tea estates is one of the great slow train rides anywhere. Book a second-class reserved seat in advance, not first class, because the windows and doors open and everyone hangs out for the Nine Arch Bridge. The blue trains are the old ones and the better ride.
Climb Sigiriya at opening
Sigiriya, the rock fortress in the cultural triangle, bakes by mid-morning and the stairs back up out of the frescoes gallery bottleneck with tour groups. Be at the gate when it opens at seven; you climb in the cool, beat the heat and the crowds, and have the lion's-paw summit nearly to yourself.

Plan Your Timing
When to Go
The headline season for the classic south-west-and-hill-country route is December to March, when Colombo, the Galle coast, Kandy and the tea highlands are at their driest and the seas are calm for the beaches. May to September swings the rain to the south-west and dries out the east coast instead. The window for Trincomalee and the surf at Arugam Bay. April and October-November are the inter-monsoon months, hot and prone to afternoon storms anywhere.
