Questions about this trip
Why can’t I book in May and June?
The south-west monsoon brings heavy rain to the west and south coasts, so we don’t offer this route in those months.
Do I need a visa for Sri Lanka?
UK passport holders need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), which you apply for online before travel.
