Traveling is one of the most exhilarating experiences you can have. You will see new lands and cultures, become a new person, learn about yourself and the world in ways you never imagined possible. Travelling can also be overwhelming. You may feel like you’re on your own in an unfamiliar place where you don’t know anyone or have any support system. You might feel nervous about being by yourself, especially if you’re traveling somewhere in a foreign country with language barriers.

Sri Lanka is a beautiful, tropical island with a rich history and culture in the Indian Ocean. The country is a popular tourist destination, with many travelers coming to experience the beauty of its landscape, culture, and food. Sri Lanka has been praised for its natural beauty and its cultural heritage. There are many places to visit in Sri Lanka, including the Sigiriya Rock Fortress, Kandy and its ancient palace, and the tea plantations of Nuwara Eliya. The country also offers lots of cultural sites, including Buddhist temples, Hindu shrines and mosques from across Asia’s different religions.
Sri Lanka’s climate is tropical and hot, with an average temperature of 27°C. The country has clear skies during its winter months from December through February, with temperatures ranging from 16°C to 30°C. In addition to heat and humidity, Sri Lanka also experiences heavy rains during its two monsoon seasons, south-western monsoon (May to September) and northeast monsoon (December to February). However, as the names depict, it rains only in certain parts of the island and the rest of the areas remain hot and humid. Hence, Sri Lanka can be explored throughout the year depending on which part of the island to be visited, regardless of the weather conditions.
