Sri Lanka October 2025 - Beaches, culture and much more

October is part of the shoulder season.

This means fewer crowds, better prices, and pleasant weather across the island.

 
Popular attractions include Mirissa and Bentota beaches, Sigiriya Rock Fortress, and tea plantations in Nuwara Eliya.

Wonderful wildlife

Wildlife lovers can explore Yala and Udawalawe National Parks.

Elephants, leopards, and tropical birds roam freely there.

Many of our guests at GlenMyu Estate visit either Yala or Udawalawe National Parks before or after their stay with us in the Sri Lankan Hill country.

The scenic train journey from Kandy to Ella is also recommended.
It offers breathtaking views of mountains and valleys.
 
Haputale Station is the nearest to GlenMyu Estate and our guests make a day trip too see the sights around Ella. They prefer to stay in a less touristy destination.
 
For a peaceful and luxurious stay, choose GlenMyu Estate in Sri Lanka’s hill country.
