Sri Lanka's tropical climate means the southwest coast is driest roughly December-March, while the east coast is best roughly May-September, so timing a visit around the west side suits the drier months. Meals on the island lean on spice, with rice and curry, fresh seafood and tropical fruit shaping most menus, and Gum Bayya fits that pattern. The island is reached by international flights, and once there, road and rail carry travellers between towns. Sinhala and Tamil are the main languages, and English is widely used, which helps visitors order and ask directions.
