Solo Travel
Where to travel
We’re seeing more and more travellers choosing to explore the world, especially India, Sri Lanka and the Maldives, on their own, and we love designing these journeys.
Whether you’re young and independent, embracing a solo chapter in life, or simply prefer the freedom of travelling alone, we’re here to ensure your trip is seamless and deeply rewarding.
Solo travel can be both liberating and enriching, and these destinations offer the perfect balance of culture, nature and relaxation. With trusted drivers, carefully selected accommodation, and experiences tailored to your pace and interests, we make sure you feel supported every step of the way, without ever compromising the independence that makes solo travel so special.
Homestays and Havelis in India
For solo travellers, staying in a homestay or traditional haveli can be one of the most rewarding aspects of the journey. These accommodations are typically clean, comfortable, and rich in local character, offering a sense of warmth and connection larger hotels often lack.

The Pekoe Trail
Trekking a section of The Pekoe Trail with a local guide offers a truly special glimpse into Sri Lanka’s diverse landscapes and lesser-seen cultural stories. Walking with your own guide adds depth and connection, turning a beautiful route into an unforgettable experience.

What our travellers say
We went to Sri Lanka as a three-generation family of three. The superb trip was organised by Samanthie and the team and it's difficult to see how it could have been bettered.
