These budget itineraries in Sri Lanka are built by consultants who sell the destination regularly and know which routes hold up in practice. Each one publishes the duration, the cities, the inclusions and the hotel category — and no dates, because we operate them when it suits you.

An island that changes every two hours. Every itinerary below can be adjusted: extend a city, change the hotel category, add a private guide or merge two routes. Send an enquiry and we will re-cost it and reply within a working day.

Best time to visit Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka has two monsoons affecting opposite coasts, so somewhere is always in season. December to March suits the west and south coasts and the hill country; May to September suits the east coast around Trincomalee and Arugam Bay. The cultural triangle around Sigiriya and Kandy is reasonable year-round.
