Sri Lanka and India are both wonderful choices for travel. It’ll be hot and humid with some rain in most areas in Sri Lanka. But eastern and northern coasts like Trincomalee and Passikudah are drier and have pleasant weather.

This weather is perfect for relaxing activities by the sea and at the beach. You can have the best experience with swimming and snorkelling.

The country will also provide an amazing wildlife experience, and views of cultural sites will give you the best memories during the journey.  

However, the north in India, like the Himalayas, Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh, will have clear sky and may be the best time for sightseeing
