Take part in craft classes and see the works of talented batik, ceramic and woodworking artists when you visit Galle, Colombo and Kandy. The dry season, which runs from December to March, is the best time to enrol in craft training because it is more comfortable to visit nearby artisan studios and craft villages during this time.
Attend local language schools in Galle, Kandy and Colombo to learn Sinhalese and Tamil, the two most spoken languages in Sri Lanka. During the dry season, which runs from November to April, language acquisition is most successful and provides the best environment for in-depth study and cross-cultural interaction.
In rural villages like Anuradhapura or Sigiriya volunteer and participate in community development programs to help the locals with sustainable projects. Volunteering is best during the dry season, which runs from November to March. The weather is perfect for working with local businesses and engaging in outdoor activities.
