一月份去斯里兰卡旅游好去处
一月正值斯里兰卡旺季的中心。东北季风（12 月至 2 月）为北部和东部带来降雨，这意味着南部和西部海岸、山区和文化三角区将迎来一年中最干燥、阳光最充足的天气。从本托塔 (Bentota) 到米瑞莎 (Mirissa) 的海滩小镇都拥有平静的大海，非常适合游泳和浮潜，而米瑞莎 (Mirissa) 的蓝鲸观赏季节正如火如荼地进行。埃拉和努沃勒埃利耶周围的山地气候晴朗、凉爽，徒步条件极佳，亚当峰朝圣季节正在进行中。预计今年的游客数量和价格将达到最高，尤其是在新年假期前后的上半月，因此请提前预订住宿和受欢迎的山区火车。相比之下，东海岸正处于最潮湿和最恶劣的时期，阿鲁加姆湾和帕西库达的许多海滩作业在这个季节关闭。
海水温度 ~28°C
The east coast (Trincomalee, Pasikuda, Arugam Bay) is in the middle of the northeast monsoon, with rough seas and many businesses closed.
