The south-west monsoon brings rain from about May to September, and the north-east monsoon from October to January, which shapes when Hikkaduwa's breaks are at their best. Blue whales and dolphins are seen off the south coast, and sea turtles nest on several beaches. Pidurutalagala is the highest peak in the country, and Adam's Peak is a pilgrimage site climbed in season. Sri Lanka is a major producer of tea and cinnamon, and Jaffna cooking uses its own blend of spices.
