June is an invitation to look further.

When the southwest turns greener, another side of Sri Lanka begins to shine.

The eastern and northern parts of the island become increasingly attractive for travellers seeking sunshine, beaches and a more off-the-beaten-path experience.

June is ideal for building a journey around contrast: combining culture and wildlife with warm eastern shores, atmospheric highlands and vibrant local communities.

June is for exploring further.
