23 Activities For A Month-Long Trip Around Sri Lanka During The Yala Monsoon Season

Temple-studded lands, safaris teeming with wildlife, and lush tea plantations—all these are tucked away in this small, teardrop-shaped island in the Indian Ocean. Sri Lanka’s stunning coastline is also a playground for surfers, and its cricket-loving people are always ready to welcome hungry backpackers with a plate of spicy curry. Arabs named the island “Serendib”—the origin of the word “serendipity”—a fitting term for the unexpected and pleasant experiences I had here. From braving the chaos of Colombo to coming face-to-face with elephants, the trip was chock-full of adventures. My excursion in the country fell during the southwest or Yala monsoon season spanning from May to August, so my travel wardrobe necessarily included a yellow poncho. Occasional downpours were there as I traversed the country's western and central areas but did not deter the fun. If you're planning to visit during the monsoon season, check out these activities for a month-long trip around Sri Lanka.
