Sri Lanka has approximately 12,000 kilometers of paved roads and around 19,000 kilometers of unpaved roads, making up a total road network of approximately 31,000 kilometers. This road network includes highways, main roads, and rural roads connecting various parts of the country.

Vehicles drive on the left side of the road and riding requires awareness of local traffic norms and road conditions. Traffic can be congested in urban areas, and roads may be narrow with occasional potholes.

Stay vigilant for unpredictable driving habits and frequent use of horns by locals. Watch out for pedestrians and wildlife, including stray dogs that may cross roads unexpectedly. 

The weather in Sri Lanka is influenced by its tropical climate and two monsoon seasons, resulting in varied conditions across different regions of the island throughout the year.

For keen tropical adventurers, it’s possible to enjoy riding almost any time of the year.

Here are key points about the weather in Sri Lanka:

1. Monsoon Seasons: Sri Lanka experiences two primary monsoon seasons:
   • Southwest Monsoon (Yala): Occurs from May to September, bringing rain to the southwestern regions and the hill country.
   • Northeast Monsoon (Maha): Occurs from October to February, affecting the northeastern regions.
2. Temperature: Sri Lanka generally has high temperatures year-round due to its tropical location. Coastal areas experience average temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F), while the cooler hill country temperatures can drop to around 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F).
3. Humidity: Humidity levels can be high, especially during the monsoon seasons, making it feel warmer than the actual temperature.
4. Peak Seasons: The peak tourist seasons in Sri Lanka coincide with the dry seasons:
   • December to March: This is considered the best time to visit the west and south coasts, including Colombo, Galle, and Bentota, as well as the Cultural Triangle (Sigiriya, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa) due to dry and sunny weather.
   • April and September: These months are ideal for visiting the east coast (Trincomalee, Arugam Bay) as they fall between the two monsoon seasons, offering pleasant weather and calm seas for beach activities.

Peak tourist seasons in Sri Lanka generally coincide with these dry and sunny periods, especially around December to March and July/August. During these times, popular tourist destinations and beaches can be crowded with international visitors.

it’s important for tourists to be respectful of local customs, traditions, and laws. Here are some behaviors or activities that tourists should avoid:

1. Religious Sites: Sri Lanka is a predominantly Buddhist country, and visitors should show respect when visiting temples and religious sites. Both men and women should wear clothing that covers their shoulders and knees. Avoid wearing tank tops, sleeveless shirts, short skirts, or shorts, remove shoes when required, and refrain from inappropriate behavior or loud noise.

2. Wildlife: Sri Lanka is rich in wildlife, including elephants, leopards, and marine life. Do not disturb or feed wild animals, and avoid purchasing products made from endangered species. When on the road it is common to encounter elephants. Always keep safety distance and remain on the bike with the engine on if you stop to take a picture. They are wild animals and can be dangerous.

3. Photography Etiquette: Always ask for permission before taking photos of people, especially monks and locals. Avoid photographing sensitive areas such as military installations or government buildings and don’t take pictures showing your back to temples or religious statues.

4. Cultural Sensitivity: Be mindful of cultural sensitivities, especially regarding dress. Avoid wearing revealing clothing, particularly in religious or rural areas where more conservative attire is appreciated.

5. Environmental Conservation: Respect the natural environment by disposing of waste responsibly and avoiding activities that contribute to pollution or environmental degradation.
