Sri Lanka had solidified its position as a rising star in the world of travel, achieving ninth place in the BBC’s “25 Best Places to Travel in 2025”. This recognition followed a successful 2024, where the island nation had welcomed over 2 million tourists, with a significant number of arrivals from Russia, India, and the United Kingdom. Notably, Flashpack had also identified Sri Lanka as a leading destination for solo travellers.

The country had aimed to attract 3 million visitors by 2025, boasting a diverse range of attractions from exhilarating safaris to rich cultural experiences and stunning beaches. Its unique combination of vibrant city life and serene natural beauty, including areas around Mandara Ridge Haputale, made it appealing to a wide spectrum of tourists seeking adventure, cultural immersion, or a peaceful retreat. And for those seeking tranquil stays amidst picturesque landscapes, a Haputale estate bungalow offers a serene escape.
