Group Solo Travel in Sri Lanka

Why Travel Solo To Sri Lanka?

Incense-swirled cities, buzzing with tuk tuks and the tastiest street food. Misty highlands steeped in tea plantations and scenic rock formations. A dramatic shoreline, pounded by waves and patrolled by surfers… Sri Lanka packs in all the punch of India – only on a smaller, more accessible scale, and delivered at a much slower pace.

Naturally, there’s adventure if you want it. By hiking the volcanic rocks of Sigirya and Pidurangala, taking in panoramic views as you go; temple cycling around the history-stacked streets of Polonnaruwa; or heading out for hairpin train rides up, up, and away, through the heights of Tea Country.

But where Sri Lanka really comes into its own is its easy-going balance of beaches, spoiling hotels and restorative, delicately spiced food. Here, you can hit the reset button as you feast on fresh seafood in the laid-back fishing port of Negombo, try out some yoga at a beachside shala, learn a little something about Buddhism – or, hey, even meditate with a master guru.

Bumping along the dusty tracks of Yala National Park might leave you in need of a massage. But it’s a small price to pay, we’d say, for spotting leopards and elephants in their natural habitat. Plus, Sri Lanka has spas aplenty on standby to help even out all that time in the wilderness with a whole world of well-earnt wellness.
