Cheap Air Tickets to Sri Lanka

Polonnaruwa, which is more than 1,000 years old, was populated in its day by many civilizations and was once a regal city. It is known for its 55 meter high Rankot Viharaupa and Buddhist shrines such as the stunning Atadage Temple, also known as the Temple of the Tooth. Sigiriya, another must for lovers of historical interest, offers a fantastic view of the Sri Lankan rain forest from its striking 180 metre high location on the lion's rock.

Colombo, the Sri Lankan capitol, has a proud kosmopolitan feel with a variety of excellent dining options. Horton Plains National Park, home to some of Sri Lanka's highest peaks, is appreciated for its stunning scenic vistas and includes luxuriant forest, tranquil seas and beautiful falls.

If you are looking for a more sophisticated experience, you can choose to spend time at the Centara Ceysands Resort & Spa Sri Lanka in Bentota, the enchanting Jetwing Beach or the Royal Palms Beach Hotels in Kalutara. Further cheaper accommodations are the romantically decorated Vivanta by Taj in Bentota, the magnificent Mermaid & Club in Kalutara, the inexpensive Aliya Resort and Spa in Sigiriya and the very relaxed Cinnamon Citadel in Kandy.

When thinking about when to make a flight to Sri Lanka, you should consider a visit during the dry period. Usually this takes place from November to April on the western or southern coasts and from April to September on the eastern coasts. They can also get away from the sweltering temperatures by setting off for Tea Country, high up in the mountain range and much colder, though more humid, than the lower areas of Sri Lanka.
