Why Visit Sri Lanka?

A tropical, tear-drop shaped island in the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka combines amazing wildlife experiences with breath-taking historic temples and ancient ruins. Inland explorers can meander through emerald tea plantations in the Hill Country and the Golden Triangle’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Meanwhile, coastal Galle with its colonial fort built by the Portuguese is a great stop for sights and shopping on the way to Unawatuna and Mirissa’s paradise stretch of beaches. For an island so small, Sri Lanka offers the modern-day single traveller a world of choice.

Fabulous experience

Solos are extremely organised and provide fantastic holidays for people on their own. The tour leaders are of a very high standard and are extremely caring with the guests.
