Rain reaches Sri Lanka's coasts on two separate monsoon schedules, so the island rarely dries out everywhere at once. The southwest and west coasts are driest from December to March, while the east coast is best from May to September, which shapes when visitors move around the island. Sri Lankan meals centre on rice and curry, with hoppers, string hoppers and kottu roti as everyday dishes, and the capital is an easy place to try them. Sri Lanka was known as Ceylon until 1972, gained independence in 1948, and has ancient cities at Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa.
