Sri Lanka has a tropical climate with two monsoon systems bringing rain to different coasts at different times, so the south and east receive their wet seasons in different months. The island was known as Ceylon until 1972, gained independence in 1948, and has ancient cities at Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa. Theravada Buddhism is the main religion, and full-moon Poya days are public holidays. A stay at Governors Camp Yala fits naturally into a wider tour of the island's parks and heritage sites.
