Overview
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon and officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, is an island country in South Asia. It lies in the Indian Ocean, southwest of the Bay of Bengal, separated from the Indian peninsula by the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Strait.
Indian passport holders need a visa to enter Sri Lanka. The easiest way to visit the country for short-term stays is to apply for the ETA online before traveling. ETA holders will be given a Sri Lanka visa on arrival for Indian citizens at border control and then will be allowed to enter the country.
During the months of December to April, most of the island country experiences a beautiful hot and dry climate. With ample sunshine, clear blue skies and lush green landscapes, this period is considered to the best climate to visit Sri Lanka.
