How many days do you need in Sri Lanka?

What travellers should know

For a first visit, 7–10 days can cover a compact selection of the Cultural Triangle, Kandy or hill country and one coast. Around 12–14 days gives more breathing room for additional regions and experiences. Three weeks allows a broader circuit. Actual driving times vary with road conditions and traffic; plan fewer hotel changes and allow recovery time after arrival.
