Sri Lanka is an island in the Indian Ocean with a central highland mass and coastal plains all around, so conditions vary between the interior and the coast. Sinhala and Tamil are the official languages, and English is widely used in administration and tourism, which helps visitors get by. The southwest monsoon brings rain from about May to September, and the northeast monsoon from October to January, so timing a visit matters. Getting around the island relies on a mix of buses, three-wheelers for shorter hops, and roads where traffic keeps to the left.
