Sri Lanka in November 2025 – Where is it better to relax? Weather and reviews, air and water temperature, beaches without waves, airline tickets and hotels. What to look at Sri Lanka in November than to do, says Eurotraveler.
If by November you have exhausted the reserves of complacency and even the forces accumulated over the summer, then … in our time – this is normal. In the sense that there is no reason to fall into depression – sooner or later a bad period will end, and the best times will come.
Moreover, how quickly this happens, sometimes depends only on you – you just need to choose the correct development vector. To begin with, for example, you can fly somewhere south-in the same Sri Lanka in November, everything is just beginning.
In the most comprehensive sense – comes as if a new life. The rains gradually stop, the dry season enters its rights, and the Indian ocean, if the waves rolled, then Ponaroshka At times, he still admits swim.
Tourists, those who were sufficiently transmitted to go on a vacation to Sri Lanka in November, quite a bit. This is because most wishes firm guarantees (they do not exist) of a serene vacation. And he believes that in certain months of the year he simply cannot be overshadowed by some climatic cataclysms there.
Weather in Sri Lanka in November
It depends on what place on the island you will go. If somewhere on the east coast, then you have to experience Many unpleasant moments.
But in the south-west of Sri Lanka, even in early November, there are several drier and much less windy. So yes – during this period it is best to rest in Bentot and Hikkaduva, Unavatun and Mirissa.
The air temperature on Sri Lanka throughout November will not cause fears-even in the theory of a chance will not freeze! Since during the day the atmosphere is heated to +27-30 ° C, and at night the air cools up to a maximum of +24-25 ° C, no more.
As for the rains, the situation with them is not so unambiguous. Almost certainly during your trip you will find not one, but A few inconspicuous days. This is at best – it is quite possible to capture frank rain!
And in theory, the average monthly rainfall in November even in the southwest of Sri Lanka is impressive-statistics promise from 150 to 190 mm per month!
Again – throughout the overwhelming segment of the vacation, you will observe mostly a cloudy sky above your head. At a minimum, during the first half of November, the sun that is in Hikkaduva, in Unavatun, It is in no hurry to show your clear face. And often tourists have to sunbathe on the beach and swim in the ocean under the sky of gray shades.
Which, however, does not cancel the opportunity to burn out very much-to use sunscreen with a Sri Lanka from much colder regions, citizens are recommended throughout the entire period of stay. And regardless of the time of the year!
But the wind in the southwest of the island at the end of autumn greatly reduce their activity. So you can swim in Sri Lanka both in early November, and-especially-its end.
Actually, in order to additionally assure what it will be, read a review or several. From those who got to Ceylon at this time of the year and turned out to be kind enough to write about their experience …
Water temperature
Lakkadivo Sea, that is, the Indian ocean, on the threshold of winter is heated to +28-29 ° C. And in general, in order to choose the optimal bathing time, you can only focus on the current weather forecast.
The best beaches of Sri Lanka without waves in November are: Mirissa and Veligam, Unavatun, Hikkaduva and Bentota. That is, exactly those places that we (and many others) mean as Optimal for winter holidays On the island.
Counting on the fact that no one will happen to the “sea” on the “sea” is a little naive. They will be, and more than once! Including strong!
Another thing is that to swim – it will work. Yes, and children (under the supervision of adults) will receive their “piece of happiness”, gloating next to the edge of the surf and erecting sand castles.
The reviews are reasonably advised do not joke with the ocean And do not get away from the shore too much. Since there are hazardous chips on Sri Lanka-you can encounter it even on Unavatun.
What to take with you
Free (by the time you read this review, it may well become paid-warnings on this topic constantly appear and disappear) Russians can receive a visa in Sri Lanka directly on the island, at the airport. To arrange in advance electronic, thereby avoiding the queues upon arrival, (temporarily?) It will not work.
Visa in Sri Lanka is issued for a period of up to 30 days. It is allowed to enter the Asian country by passport, which expires no earlier than 6 months after the estimated departure date.
First of all, you need to take a carefully collected camping first -aid kit with all first aid drugs. It is not worth neglecting this item in any case, since the assortment of pharmacies on Sri Lanka Frankly not rich.
Experienced travelers advise to issue tourist medical insurance with full coating. In case of a disease of some dangerous infection like Denge’s fever.
Also put in the suitcase:
- clothes covering their arms and legs (both to protect from burns and for entering the temple)
- The usual hygiene products
- baby food
- Accessories for beach holidays: circles and sleeves, inflatable mattresses, glasses and masks for scuba diving, etc.
- adapters and adapters for sockets.
Fumigators and various sprays from mosquitoes in principle can be captured. But in the reviews there are opinions that they are against the Lanka Moshkara relatively useless. In any case, such funds can be purchased on the spot.
Naturally, do not forget to take cash currency with you (optimally US dollars). Since the cards are far from everywhere on Sri Lanka (even if you have a “plastic”, valid outside of Russia).
Prices 2025
In the last month of autumn, Sri Lanka is just In the high beach season. As a result, you can buy a tour, book a hotel room at a real but not very high cost.
We cannot call low prices for flights, sorry. For for flights in early November from Moscow to Colombo and vice versa (transit, and not straight by flights) you will have to pay from 600 € for the passenger and its baggage.
Tours are sane. For a week’s vacation for two in mid-November 2025, a couple of Muscovites will pay from 160-170 thousand rubles (about 1,500 €) in Mirissa or Hikkaduv. Flights and insurance, accommodation and even breakfasts are included in the indicated amount!
The hotel for this money, of course, will be modest. However, hotels at Sri Lanka at the finish line of autumn, in principle, take a little-in the popular unatun, for example, for 250-270 € per week (for two) you can choose an simply excellent option.
Naturally, when choosing an independent vacation option, you can plan it at your discretion. Providing not only the beach part – whom today you will surprise – but also excursion. Many, by the way, are doing this this way today: First go to Sigria and Dambulla And only then – at sea!
What to do
Again, and look in Sri Lanka in November, when the intensity of rains is declining, there is something. Since this country is sufficiently Original and originalto arouse interest in a curious person.
That’s just public transport in it is not yet sufficiently developed. Yes, and he will call the rejection of the relative comfort of the Russian, he will cause a “one-or two”.
And acquired the corresponding infrastructure. For example, tourists can observe giant mammals, sitting at the lunch on the terraces of the best, although not to say that especially expensive local hotels (Hotel Elephant Park “Grand Royal Pinnalanda).
Also, among the obligatory visits to the places of Ceylon belongs Sigiria rockon the top of which are the remains of the royal palace. Definitely deserves walks and The city of Dambulla With the cave temple of the pre -Christian era.
IN The city of Kandy In the center of the island they go in order to visit the temple where the main religious shrine of local Buddhists is stored: Buddha’s tooth. Probably, the travelers will be interested in seeing the well -preserved royal palace, the last of the Lanka built on Sri in the pre -colonial era.
Close from Kandy is the center of 4 religions of an outpatient clinic in the form of a 50-meter tower, from the sightseeing site of which wonderful views are opened. Opinions about whether it is worth going there, they differ: from “necessarily” to “nothing special”.
There are much fewer contradictions, but it is found in the reviews of the Small Adam Peak in the town of Ella. There you can admire the colorful railway arched bridge built in the British colonial era.
Near Ella settled down and Nuvara Eliyathe tea capital of Sri Lanka and a very comfortable town, which has retained a lot of colonial time. In its vicinity, several beautiful waterfalls live.
In the National Park Yala
You can observe the life of wild animals (leopards, elephants, buffalo, monkeys) in a natural habitat. To do this, you will have to dwell on the night in Tissa (Tissamaharam), and the next day to take part in one -day safari.
“Not Tanzania, of course” – noticed in one of the reviews, but also the price of entertainment – much more humane
Dutch Fort in the town of Galle On the coast is especially well known to beach tourists relaxing on (former) Ceylon. Since he is not only unique (UNESCO is included in the list of the World Heritage Heritage – Whc.nesco.org/en/list/451/), it is also conveniently located – quite recently from Veligama, the popular surfer village.
Another entertainment, the season of which begins on Sri Lanka in November, is an exit at sea to meet with blue whales. It is in the period from November to April that a chance will meet a chance near the southwestern coast of the island with these sea giants growing to a maximum!
