Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka

A Sri Lanka tour package from Pakistan covers a lot on one small island: tea country around Nuwara Eliya, the rock fortress of Sigiriya, leopards in Yala and palm-lined beaches along the south coast. We plan private and group trips to Sri Lanka on request, well suited to honeymoons and family holidays.

Why visit Sri Lanka

Distances in Sri Lanka are short, but the scenery changes constantly. In a week or ten days you can climb Sigiriya, visit the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy, ride the hill-country train through tea estates to Ella, and finish on a beach at Bentota or Mirissa. It is relaxed, green and good value, and cricket gives Pakistani visitors an easy conversation starter.

Sri Lanka honeymoon packages usually mix a couple of nights in the hills with a beach resort, while families often add a jeep safari and a turtle hatchery on the coast.

Best time to visit Sri Lanka

Two monsoons affect different coasts, so some part of the island has good weather in most months.

  • December to March: the best months for the south and west coasts, Colombo, Galle and the hill country. Whale watching off Mirissa is at its best from about December to April.
  • April: hot and changeable, with Sinhala and Tamil New Year celebrations in mid-April.
  • May to September: the south-west monsoon brings rain to the west and south, while the east coast around Trincomalee and Arugam Bay is dry and sunny.
  • October and November: often the wettest period across much of the island.

Sri Lanka visa for Pakistani passport holders

Pakistani passport holders need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) approved online before arriving in Sri Lanka. Visa rules change often, so we check the current requirements when you enquire.

Places to visit in Sri Lanka

  • Sigiriya and Dambulla: the rock fortress and the cave temples, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

  • Nuwara Eliya and Ella: tea estates, waterfalls and the Nine Arch Bridge.
  • Yala National Park: jeep safaris with a good chance of seeing leopards and elephants.
  • Galle: a walled fort town, also UNESCO-listed, with cafés and ramparts over the sea.
  • South coast beaches: Bentota, Unawatuna and Mirissa.

Getting to Sri Lanka from Pakistan

SriLankan Airlines links Colombo with Karachi and Lahore, so the flight is short. Most trips start at Colombo's airport and continue by road with a private driver. Sri Lanka also pairs well with a few days in Malaysia or Thailand.
