Colombo, Sept. 24 (Daily Mirror) – Sri Lanka has been ranked as the No. 1 travel destination for October 2025 by global travel guide Time Out.

October is considered the perfect month to explore Sri Lanka, falling in the shoulder season when crowds are smaller, prices are lower, and the weather is favorable across much of the country. 

According to Time Out, visitors can enjoy a unique combination of culture, adventure, and natural beauty that few other destinations offer.

Top attractions include relaxing on the golden beaches of Mirissa and Bentota, exploring the historic Sigiriya Rock Fortress, and touring the lush tea plantations of Nuwara Eliya.
