Sri Lanka is one of the most popular international holiday destinations for Indian travellers — and for good reason. The island is close (just 1–2 hours by air from Chennai, Kochi, Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi), visa-accessible (ETA available online), vegetarian-friendly, culturally familiar in many ways and offers extraordinary value for Indian visitors given the currency exchange.
Indian couples in particular choose Sri Lanka for honeymoons — the combination of hill country romance, Yala wildlife safari and south coast beach resorts creates a perfect honeymoon circuit that few destinations can match. Indian families visit for the wildlife, beaches and the safe, welcoming environment. Indian solo travellers and small groups come for the heritage, Buddhist pilgrimage sites and the unique cultural experience of a neighbouring island nation.
Sri Lanka Travellers has arranged private tours for hundreds of Indian guests from Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and beyond. We understand Indian travel preferences — including vegetarian food requirements, family needs and the importance of flexibility — and we plan every tour accordingly.
Indian passport holders can obtain a Sri Lanka ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) online before travel. The tourist ETA allows a 30-day stay and is approved quickly. Apply at the official Sri Lanka ETA portal before your flight.
Multiple daily direct flights to Colombo from Chennai (1.5 hrs), Mumbai (3 hrs), Delhi (3.5 hrs), Kochi (1.5 hrs), Bangalore (2 hrs) and Hyderabad (2 hrs). IndiGo, Air India, SriLankan Airlines and SpiceJet all serve the route.
November to April is ideal for the west and south coast. December–January is the most popular period for Indian honeymoon couples. The Diwali holidays (October) can work for hill country tours when the west coast monsoon has ended.
Sri Lanka has excellent vegetarian and vegan options — the local cuisine is rice and curry based, using coconut milk, lentils and fresh vegetables. Pure vegetarian and Jain-friendly restaurants are available in all major tourist towns. Inform us of any dietary requirements when booking.
