Every year, through August and September, up to 300 Asian elephants gather at Minneriya Lake. They are not having a party! These guys are looking for food and water, and Minneriya Lake offers the best chance for them in their search. August and September is the dry season. The Lake is man-made, meaning it is a reliable source of water. Thus, they come back every year. Witness the natural phenomenon that opens up the mysteries of these big animals’ behaviour.
We would recommend anyone wanting to see the Sloth Bear to let us know as June usually offers the best time of year to spot these shy, retiring mammals. They have a passion for the fruit of the Palu tree which comes at this time and as the fruits are mildly intoxicating, the bears tend to saunter around without fear. As well as Sloth Bears you may also spot leopards in Yala – with the National Park boasting one of the highest leopard populations anywhere in the world.

The native people of a country can make or break a holiday, as talking to the locals, visiting villages and markets, walking the locals walk and talking the locals talk, is very much part of an interactive holiday.
Sri Lanka is one of the friendliest nations in the world. The laid-back lifestyle of the locals, their willingness to help and the smiles on their faces will make your holiday unforgettable and memorable.
The Sri Lankans have so much time to spare and they can afford to stop and talk to strangers and welcome them to their land. They are such a gentle and courteous bunch of people.
Having over 35 Public Holidays a year helps the people to live a very relaxed life. The influence of Buddhism has turned the people of this Island into calm, generous and helpful people.

The North-east monsoon will be active in Sri lanka around November. This is not nearly as heavy as the South-West monsoon in May and June.
During the North-east monsoon the dark clouds gather in the afternoon and usually the showers come down in the late afternoon.
If you are planning your holiday during the monsoon, you will still have dry mornings and the early afternoons to do things and visit sites. You can start and finish the days early and watch the downpour over a bottle of beer.
These heavy rains are welcome by the local farmers, the animals & the vegetation. The farmers start their work in the fields, the animals tend to come out to the water wholes and trees turn dark green.
his is a very pleasant sight which could only be seen during the monsoon, a bit like your spring. People think that during the monsoon it rains all day and all night which is furthest from the truth.
On the other hand Rainfall in Sri Lanka has multiple origins. Monsoonal and Convectional rain accounts for a major share of the annual rainfall along with depressions in the bay of Bengal. The main annual rainfall varies from under 900mm in the driest parts (south-eastern and North-western) to over 5000mm in the wettest parts (western slopes of the central highlands). The conventional rains occur in the hill country and the depressions could happen at any time of the year.
