About the time in Pahalagama
Pahalagama follows the civil time used across its region of Sri Lanka; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 06:00 and sunset at 06:17 local time, giving 12h 16m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (6.21, 80.86) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Pahalagama.
Clocks in Pahalagama stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +5:30 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Sri Lanka.
