Airline and stops

Pegasus connects through European and Middle Eastern hubs, so expect aircraft changes at intermediate cities. Check your confirmation for layover locations and connection times.
Best time to visit
Sri Lanka is tropical with monsoons. The best season for the west and south coasts (main tourist spots) is November to March: less rain, more sun, pleasant temperatures. This is high season, so prices climb. On a tight budget, April-May balances things: fewer tourists and slightly lower fares, though more rain is likely.
What to do when you arrive
You'll land in Colombo, the capital. Most visitors head to beaches, temples and nature: Kandy (mountains and temples), Ella (tea plantations), Sigiriya (rock fortress), southern beaches like Mirissa or Unawatuna. The country is small and distances short. Hire a car, use buses or book local tours. Sri Lanka is cheap once you're on the ground.
