Common questions
How many days do you need in Sri Lanka?
Ten days covers the classic highlights plus beach time; two weeks lets you slow down and add the east coast or more beach. We'll suggest the right length for your interests.
When is the best time to visit Sri Lanka?
It depends on the coast. The south and west (and hills) are best from December to April; the east coast, including Arugam Bay, shines from May to September. We plan around the weather you'll actually get.
Do I need a private driver?
For most trips, yes - a private chauffeur-guide is the most relaxed and flexible way to see the island, and it's more affordable than many expect. We include it in almost every journey.
How does planning with CeyRoutes work?
Tell us your dates and travel style, we send honest advice and a first-draft itinerary, then we refine it together until it's right. There's no charge or obligation to plan.
