A more responsible, tailor-made trip directly with the best local agencies
Welcome to these pages about travelling in Sri Lanka. Picture an island the size of Ireland, at the heart of the Indian Ocean. An island which is a condensed version of Asia, where the traveller would spend time discovering Buddhist archaeological remains, then trekking in the green forests and mist shrouded mountains, and profit from the final days by sunbathing on a beach straight out of paradise... You are not dreaming: Sri Lanka is a travel destination still little known but ideal! A trip to Sri Lanka is suitable for any type of traveller: as a couple or family, for active or cultural agendas, for those wanting to carry out different activities or for those just seeking the simple pleasures of relaxation! Blessed with an ideal size, where it is easy to get from one point to the next, a trip to Sri Lanka combines everything a traveller is looking for in Asia. Explore the Buddhist ruins in all their beauty, lost in the lush greenery, discover alternating landscapes from dense jungle and terraced rice paddies to deserted beaches lined with coconut palms. This unparalleled beauty awaits you during a holiday in Sri Lanka...
Our agencies are truly local. And that changes everything.

Nature lovers will get up early in the morning to walk in the company of the pilgrims of Adam's Peak, the sacred mountain which can be observed from miles around. And finally wildlife lovers will be amazed by the National Park of Uda Walawe: here you will see a large herd of elephants in a sumptuous setting of green marshes on the edge of a mountain lake...

When to go in Sri Lanka?

The best time to visit Sri Lanka is in the dry season, which runs from December to March on the west and south coasts and in the mountains, and from May to September on the east coast. The rest of the year, it's monsoon weather, which makes travelling less pleasant. In Sri Lanka, you'll be enchanted by the many treasures from the ancient kingdom of Ceylan: with ancient cities, amazing beaches and the most beautiful mountains, the Sri Lankan environment is breathtaking.
