What is the best time to visit Kandy?

The best time to visit Kandy is from January to March, as these are the driest months of the year. The weather in Kandy is the best in February and March, with the temperature ranging between 18 to 30 degrees Celcius. This is the perfect time for sightseeing in Kandy and visiting the famous Temple of the Tooth Relic.  If you are planning to witness the festivities of the Kandy Esala Perahera, visit during July and August.

May to September is the Yala monsoon season. Even though it doesn't rain very heavily in Kandy during these months, you can still expect a lot of rain. October to December is the Maha monsoon season, making it the wettest month in Kandy.
