Sri Lanka has two monsoons affecting different coasts at different times, so there is usually somewhere with good weather. In general the south, west and hill country are best from about December to April, and the east coast from about May to September.

Around ten days to two weeks is a comfortable length for a first trip covering the Cultural Triangle, hill country and coast. Shorter trips work well if you focus on one or two regions.
