Thread: Are there any festive events or celebrations in December in Sri Lanka?

Hello everyone,

✈I will be visiting Sri Lanka in December, which is one of my most favorite destinations. Sri Lanka is undeniably a beautiful country. Are there any special holiday events or festivals in December that tourists can participate in? Moreover, is the December climate suitable for travel? Can you provide some suggestions for my trip?��

Hey Ziddu !

Absolutely, December in Sri Lanka offers a vibrant tapestry of festivities! You might catch the 'Unduvap Full Moon Poya' celebrating Buddha's first visit to Sri Lanka, often marked by illuminated temples and cultural events. Additionally, the 'Christmas and New Year' festivities are widely celebrated, especially in Colombo and Negombo.

The weather in December is fantastic for travel, with warm temperatures and minimal rainfall in most regions. Don't miss Sigiriya, the stunning beaches in Mirissa, and the cultural richness of Kandy. Enjoy your trip!🌴✨
