Sri Lanka
Best for flying solo
Noodley, traffic-logged roads and single supplements on accommodation can make Sri Lanka’s abundance of attractions – tea plantations, rural villages, heritage train rides, rambling safaris, ancient citadels, incense-bathed temples and thumping cities – difficult to tackle when flying solo. Happily, Distant Journeys has introduced a new small group tour that consists of no more than 20 travellers, with stays in charming boutique hotels and no pesky single-supplement fees. Highlights include a walking food tour in Colombo, climbing the pink rock fortress of Sigiriya, and elephant-spotting in Minneriya National Park.
Best for explorers
Much of Sri Lanka’s far north was off limits during the country’s devastating 26-year-long civil war, before achieving peace and reopening in 2009. A return to tourism, however, has proved to be slow work, which means intrepid travellers can soak up a part of the country that still feels undiscovered. Visit Wilpattu National Park to see elephants, crocodiles and leopards (without the crowds); count your blessings at Mihintale and Anuradhapura, believed to be the birthplace of Buddhism in Sri Lanka; journey to ancient Jaffna by train, before flopping on Trincomalee’s peaceful platinum beaches.
