Is Sri Lanka good for solo female travellers?
Many solo female travellers visit Sri Lanka comfortably each year, particularly along well-established tourist routes with good guesthouse and hostel infrastructure.
Practical precautions
Use licensed transport, especially at night, dress modestly around temples and rural areas, and let your accommodation know your day plans when heading out on longer excursions.
Meeting other travellers
Sociable guesthouses, group day tours and popular hubs such as Ella and Mirissa make it easy to meet other travellers if you want company for parts of your trip.
Staying confident on the road
Trust your instincts, keep a copy of important documents separate from the originals, and research your route for each leg before you travel.
