Sri Lanka has two monsoons that hit different coasts, which is why the island works all year. The south-west monsoon brings rain to the west and south from May to September, while the north-east monsoon soaks the east from November to February. For the classic route through the Cultural Triangle, hill country and southern beaches, December to April is the sweet spot.
