Colombo throughout the year

Colombo is a year-round destination, thanks to the pleasant weather. However, pencil out June until September if you want to avoid the heavy rain in the monsoon season. The period between January and March is typically characterised by sunny days.

Colombo is less crowded between May and September allowing you to enjoy cheaper deals on flights and hotels. The period starting November through to December is a great time to visit because the days are sunny and the Diwali celebrations are held during this time.

Application fees are applicable and children under the age of 12 are exempt from paying for stays of less than 30 days. Check with your local embassy or travel agent for up-to-date information.
