Best time to visit Trincomalee:
December to March (High Season):
- This is considered the best time to visit Sri Lanka. The west and south coasts experience dry and sunny weather, making it ideal for beach vacations and cultural exploration.
- Popular destinations like Colombo, Galle, Unawatuna, and Bentota are at their best during this period.
April to September (Yala Monsoon Season):
- During these months, the east coast experiences dry and sunny weather, making it an excellent time to explore places like Trincomalee, Arugam Bay, and Batticaloa.
- The Cultural Triangle, which includes Sigiriya, Anuradhapura, and Polonnaruwa, is also worth exploring during this period.
May to August (Intermonsoon Season):
