Explane SRI LANKA Sri Lanka, an island nation in South Asia, is known for its diverse landscapes, including tropical beaches, lush forests, and scenic mountains. It has a rich history, with influences from various cultures, including Indian, Portuguese, Dutch, and British. The country's official languages are Sinhala and Tamil, and it's famous for its tea production and ancient cultural sites such as Sigiriya and the city of Kandy. Sri Lanka gained independence from British colonial rule in 1948 and has a democratic government. Sri Lanka boasts stunning natural beauty, with a diverse range of landscapes. The country is renowned for its pristine beaches, surrounded by turquoise waters, palm trees, and coral reefs, making it a paradise for beach lovers. Inland, you'll find lush rainforests, rolling hills covered in tea plantations, and scenic waterfalls. Sri Lanka's central highlands, including the picturesque town of Ella, offer breathtaking mountain vistas. The island is also home to an abundance of wildlife, with national parks like Yala and Wilpattu teeming with elephants, leopards, and various bird species. Sri Lanka's natural beauty is truly captivating.

Your videos are excellently put together but personally I feel they miss something (as with many Travel Vlogger videos) - there doesn't seem to be any kind of understanding or explanation of the place you're visiting. Just a couple of minutes explaining the history of the place I think not only informs your viewers, but is also respectful of these historic places you're visiting. I was lucky enough to go 20 years ago when crowds weren't an issue. An early start a smart move!

Hi! Which company did you go on safari with in Sigiriya? And what was the name of the park? I’m wondering if you experienced that is was crowded of jeeps or did you felt the safari was ethical for the animals? ☺️🐘
@Joelfriend9 ай бұрын
We went through a local provider and booked through our guesthouse, so I am unsure of the name. We didn’t find it too busy with jeeps as there are so many elephants jeeps do tend to spread out a fair amount. However, we did do it just before the main tourist season so maybe that effects I’m not sure if there any limits on jeeps in the park or not
