Why I Chose This for You

Sri Lanka is somewhere that lingers in your memory long after you return. I chose this journey because it offers so much variety in one trip — temples, wildlife, tea hills, and time to breathe by the ocean. For solo travellers, it’s the perfect mix of guided exploration and quiet moments, with the reassurance of a small, like-minded group and a tour manager who understands exactly what it means to travel independently, but not alone.

About this Trip

Sri Lanka is a feast for the senses — a land of sacred caves, lost cities, royal palaces and tropical beaches, wrapped in the warmth of its people. This solo-exclusive journey blends culture, wildlife and relaxation in perfect harmony.


From climbing Sigiriya Rock fortress to wandering Kandy’s Temple of the Tooth, from misty tea hills to golden beaches, every day brings something new. You’ll travel with a small, supportive group of like-minded solo explorers, guided by an expert Tour Manager who understands how to balance discovery with time to breathe.
