First-time visitors to Sri Lanka should know the island's tropical climate divides its coasts: the southwest stays driest roughly December-March, while the east coast is best roughly May-September. Sri Lankan cooking is spice-driven, built around rice and curry, fresh seafood and tropical fruit, so a restaurant meal here follows that pattern. International flights serve the island, with domestic transport by road and rail, making Colombo a practical base. Sinhala and Tamil are the main languages, with English widely used, which eases ordering and directions for visitors.
