Sri Lanka is a tropical country with almost the same season all year long except for monsoon seasons kicking off at different times during the year, despite showers a warm sunny climate is always guaranteed.
There are lots of benefits in visiting Sri Lanka. First, it is a great place to regroup during the vacation after a very hectic lifestyle. It also provides the best way to be connected with nature with all the eco-tourism going on. Touring Sri Lanka, you can get the first-hand taste in the culture which is very vibrant and most of all awe-striking. These are just a few of the many benefits that I can list.

However, other than that you can wear almost anything that goes with the warm climate, sundresses, shorts, t-shirts and sandals are some of the clothes that you can wear to fight of the heat.
Well the options are endless, there are loads of Archeological sites, ancient ruins, nature reserves, beaches and pleanty more. UNESCO has named many places in Sri Lanka as World Heritage Sites such as Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa. You can also go shopping in the great city of Colombo, where malls and stores are endless.
