COMPETITION

Tell us about the natural phenomenon that has thrilled you most for the chance to win a

£250 Experience Travel Group voucher

Our cover story reveals where to see the aurora borealis at its best – and if you have been lucky enough to do so, share your story. Or perhaps you have been awestruck on your travels by other benign natural phenomena, from shooting stars, sunrises and solar eclipses to thunderstorms, rainbows, geysers, salt flats, sulphur lakes and planktonic phosphorescence. Where did you see the spectacle, and what made it magical?

The reader who sends in the best entry wins a £250 holiday voucher.

ABOUT THE PROVIDER Sri Lanka specialist Experience Travel Group (experiencetravelgroup. com) will organise the perfect trip to this glorious Indian Ocean island where great weather awaits from December to April, the peak-season months.

With fewer visitors since the pandemic began, major cultural sites such as Sigiriya will be quiet. Much of Sri Lanka remains undiscovered – from the national parks with their extraordinary wildlife to the east coast with its incredible surfing.

Heading north, Jaffna is the cultural heartland of the Tamil community, well worth exploring with a driver/guide (Experience Travel Group’s speciality). See elephants and blue whales in a single day, plus leopards, monkeys and birdlife. A wildlife guide is a must. The foodie scene features hoppers, curries, sambals and exotic fruits.

This unique island is perfect for families, honeymooners, surfers,

hikers and cyclists, offering culture, wildlife, train journeys through tea country and amid paddy fields, plus adventure, great beaches and spas.

As Sri Lanka recovers from its recent economic woes, rebuilding under its new government, the welcome is warm. Choose from superb-value hotels, beautiful boutique properties and five-star resorts. The depreciation of the Sri Lankan rupee means your pound goes even further. Shoppers will love the quality – and prices – of the handmade goods, which make ideal gifts to bring home.

THE PRIZE

A £250 voucher towards any Experience Travel Group holiday booked direct with the company, subject to availability.

HOW TO ENTER

Email your entry (in 150 words) with your name, address and telephone number, by midnight on Tuesday November 29, to yoursay@telegraph.co. uk. Only one prize can be won per person and it is non-transferable and non-refundable.
