Nick | Traveled in August

Fantastically varied and action packed trip in beautiful, vibrant, colourful Sri Lanka. This tour had everything; two millennium of fascinating history, interesting towns and cities as well as stunning scenery and golden beaches. Wildlife in abundance including leopards, elephants and blue whales. The bus, food, and hotels were all good and made even better by the always friendly Sri Lankan hospitality lead by Sujesh our wonderful guide, who was kind, thoughtful and entertaining in equal measure. One of the best trips I have been on for sure.

This was my first Explore trip, and it turned out to be the best group tour I’ve done so far. I really enjoyed the itinerary, the group, and above all, our tour leader Sujith. He was outstanding – attentive to everyone, full of knowledge about Sri Lanka’s history, culture, people, and economy, and always finding ways to make the journey special with spontaneous stops and unique local interactions. I would highly recommend both this trip and Explore to anyone considering a visit to Sri Lanka.

We had a fantastic trip with Mimi as our tour leader. The quality of the hotels was great (particularly at Kandalama and Galle) and Mimi was a great guide providing the right amount of information needed and answering questions comprehensively. We loved the itinerary but would have welcomed an extra day in both Nuwara Eliya and Galle to give a bit more relaxation time and also a change to see more of these places. We loved all the extra stops now mentioned in the trip notes and felt well looked after throughout. Thank you so much for a great trip.

The leader was exceptional and made efforts to introduce us to local experiences. He provided information on a number of interesting topics and was open to questions of all kinds. He was friendly, kind and made everyone in the group feel included and important!

This was an excellent short tour but, even though it was only 6 days, it felt as if we packed in at least 12 days-worth of activity. It was a great introduction to Sri Lanka with a fantastic range of visits and activities. Our tour leader, George, was great and highly informative and our bus driver, Tony, was a very good driver and organiser. I think I would like to go back to each place we visited again to spend longer and this really has provided a great taster.

Travelling as a family with two teenagers (16 and 14), we all had the most fantastic time in both Sri Lanka and the Maldives. Highlights for the adults included the variety of activities included in the itinerary, the elephant transition home and learning about the culture, history and geography of both Sri Lanka and the Maldives. The highlights for the teenagers were the train ride, the snorkelling and the elephant safari. We all loved the food and our guide, Ashan, in Sri Lanka was truly outstanding.

Planning tips for solo travelers to Sri Lanka

 

Safest destinations in Sri Lanka for single travelers

Cities like Kandy, Galle, and Ella in Sri Lanka are known for their welcoming atmospheres, walkable centers, and supportive tourism networks. Despite the country's past political unrest, travel advisories now rank most tourist areas as stable, and violent crime remains rare.

For solo female travelers, daytime travel across Sri Lanka is generally safe, though modest dress is recommended to align with local norms and reduce unwanted attention. Smaller towns like Mirissa or Nuwara Eliya offer tranquil, scenic environments perfect for independent exploration. Locals are often eager to help, and guesthouses frequently go above and beyond to ensure guests feel at home. LGBTQI+ travelers should be aware that same-sex relationships are criminalized. Hence public displays of affection should be avoided.

Cost of traveling to Sri Lanka alone

Sri Lanka has always been a budget-friendly destination for single travelers and it continues to be so. Budget travelers spend roughly USD 25–45 per day on basic lodging, meals, and buses. Bookmundi’s solo trips to Sri Lanka start around USD 98 per person per day, with accommodation, transfers, selected meals, and guided activities included, all on a shared basis. Solo travelers opting for single rooms should expect a supplement fee. Tours often bundle popular extras—like tea‑plantation hikes or wildlife safaris—allowing participants to access group pricing on park entries and transport.
