Which resort to choose in October for a beach holiday and excursions?
We are going for the first time, mid-October for 10-14 days. I want a clean and calm ocean. We plan to visit: Kandy, Sigiriya, Colombo, see whales and dolphins (is it possible to see them at the moment?), Vedas tribe (is it worth it?) Which region to choose so that it would not be so far to go on excursions or is it worth taking a combined tour: excursions + beach?

The calm ocean is rather ideal catalog images, which is more to the face of the neighboring Maldives, where there is an outer reef on which waves break.
In Sri Lanka, an island blown by all winds, the ocean is beautiful, but mobile - wide shafts roll onto wide beaches of perca cappuccino-colored sand, spreading in ephemeral lace ... This will most often be a magnificent picture along the west coast (exactly there travel during this period) to Negombo, Beruwala, Bentota and further south.
Complete calm is a feature of the eastern part of the island from May to early September, when the monsoon subsides.
As for your list of places to visit, they are all worthy of attention, but the "main" antiquities of the SL are quite remote from the coast (for example, to Sigiriya from Negombo, the resort closest to the Cultural Triangle zone, is 3-4 hours away. To see and to return, it will take all daylight hours.It turns out that having paid for the hotel, you do not use it.
This was known back in the era of Thomas Cook, laying 2-3 day routes, with a stop inside the island.
Nowadays, in order to fulfill the program that you have outlined for yourself, it would be more reasonable to take a through route (with a stop in 2-3 places for 1-2 nights in each).

I agree with Lanka-Lanochka, it is better to take a program: first excursions for a couple of days, and then a beach holiday. All attractions are located far from the coast, so the road is tiring and exhausting!

Thank you Lanka-Lanochka. I understand that it is better to take a combined tour, but how to make an itinerary? Which agency will contact with this question in Kharkov? And what about the suitcase, you have to carry it everywhere with you?

The suitcase on Lanochka helps to move the driver or the guys from the hotel staff, porters. So relax - for a moderate tip :)

Anna.85, my friend and I are flying from Kharkov to Sri Lanka on October 19, just yesterday we booked a tour, 3 days excursion (elephant orphanage, Sigiriya, temple of the tooth of the Buddha, royal bot. garden, Dambulla cave temple, spice garden, panoramic view of Kandy ), and then a week in Club Koggala Village, it turned out 20 thousand UAH. for two for 12 days. For three, it's much cheaper. If you want, I can give the phone number of the agency, a very pleasant hostess, we constantly use her services.

For Natik999:
On November 27, another mini-group to Sri Lanka starts from tour operators - partners of JETWING (the host tour operator on the island).
The tour program - Sri Lanka in the GRAND format - is replete with impressions.
I advise you to contact one of the following travel agencies in Kharkov:
Z Tour
Lottur
Crocus
Family traditions
Tour & East
--------------------
The core of the group has already been formed - 3 people, but by the time of arrival there will surely be fellow travelers for you.
Advantages of such a tour: Travel in comfort. In pleasant company. See the best.
