If you are looking for parties you better go to the east coast these days. It’s a beginning of the season now there

any hostels you recommend

Hey 👋🏼 anyone currently in Sri Lanka?

Hey all 👋🏻

Can any of you here help me understand and figure best options how to get from Colombo to Ella, i’m looking for last mile travel options too and some key gotchas and things to keep in mind while i might be moving around SL. Thanks. ☺️

Rent Toyota Hiace. Pretty inexpensive from my April trip. Take the highway - avoid those winding roads (shorter, few bucks cheaper).

yes - might be a bit late :)

Sri Lanka lets go!

sorry but this wording gives the wrong impression. the way Naz worded it gives the right impression "It is a bit more expensive if you aim to match the comfort of Vietnam.". "established" is a keyword. those places as I see it have been operating for a period of time like a decade+ and competition has levelled it out so you get better value for money like the quality of accommodation you get for $x per month. concrete example is Hikkaduwa vs Ahangama (former established, latter not).

the bottom end of living cos is way low if you are willing to live simple.

also unfortunately high import taxes mean many nice things are closer to or more expensive than Europe and the US.

Hii

hey! what would be there in Dec?

Cannot exprssed in my words you can search in googles

What are you doing there in Dec?

Where in Sri Lanka can you get good weather in the end of November / beginning of December?

South Coast is supposed to be but global warming etc so who knows.

Hey everyone :)

Any recommendation for Sri Lanka In Nov/Dec for stays? I’m planning to go for a month and don’t know where to go. I stayed in Hiriketiya + Ahangama in the past but I’m going solo this time. Plan on surf early in the morning + working just after :)

those are both surf hotspots.

I spent 2 weeks in November in weligama (surfing) in 2024 and it was quite good for beginner/early intermediate level. We surfed 2/3 times a day and there would generally be ok waves

thanks! I think I'll do weligama/ahangama :).

How is the nomad community there? First time travelling solo and want to have this community feeling

Whoops, I was in Mirissa, no Weligama itself, tho we surfed in weligama. My surf/yoga camp was ok (https://maps.app.goo.gl/ciZandaaVXRkFUvb8?g_st=ac) loads of international folks, so good vibes, but Mirissa itself was pretty boring. Weligama felt more alive

Places are installing starlink now. So internet performance can be a lot better (I use it at home, perfect video calls with Europe and US)

I would be interested to see what that sounds like, Sent you a DM bro.
