While travelling with a group of friends or family is fun and memorable, solo travel brings out the best in you. It’s a deep soul-searching experience and one of the best travel destinations for solo travellers in Tangalle, Sri Lanka.
Travelling to Tangalle
Tangalle, a little town in the Southern Province, is well-known as a charming tourist destination. It is one of the safest places to visit in Sri Lanka. Luxury resorts here sometimes even offer transport from and to the airport or the nearest train station. There are also amazing hotels here such as Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort to have a relaxing vacation.
Whale Watching
One of the unusual experiences you can enjoy while travelling alone is whale watching in Mirissa. Mirissa is only one hour away from Tangalle, and your hotel can arrange everything for you. Its physical location, where the continental shelf is at its narrowest and ocean depths can reach 1 km a few kilometres offshore, makes it an excellent location for whale viewing.
Kayaking
Consider going kayaking at Tangalle Lagoon if you’re looking for a little adventure. In Sri Lanka’s southern region, you may see endemic plants and animals and learn about some of the country’s secret locations. Kayaking is an exhilarating activity that’s best enjoyed on the blue, steady waves of the Tangalle Lagoon.
Sinharaja Forest Reserve
