South Asia is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful regions on Earth. It is home to a flurry of colourful cultures and a rich history renowned worldwide.

However, those planning to travel to the region will more often than not receive cautionary reminders of the alleged heightened risks and dangers traversing the countries in the region could pose, especially if you’re a solo woman traveller.

The country is also popular with backpackers, and Time Out says it’s the perfect size for a week or a month of travel.

According to the global magazine, the country has many destinations worth exploring, including ancient Unesco-listed sites such as Dambulla and Sigiriya and the tea plantations in Nuwara Eliya.

The article added that the golden beaches of Arugam Bay, Mirissa and Hikkaduwa promise beachfront hostels, surfing and delicious local food for travellers.
