@@Davud_Akh Amazing how you called Syria as Surya, this is it's ancient name which comes from Sanskrit. Surya is the Hindu sun God. Most countries like Iran, Iraq and any country ending with stan once was part of Hindustan before the islamic invasions. Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism all are part of Sanatan Dharma which is essentially Hinduism, different branches of the same tree.

You're right about Ella being a tourist attraction. I personally avoid going there during the season because I don't like crowds but it's become like part of their way of life now. For example, when tourists were stranded in Ella after the country went into lockdown, the locals got together to take care of them even though they weren't getting tons of money and were in short supply of resources themselves.

[@KevinKAU-AU]

Its a very historic location in Srilanka. King Ravana - a figure that features prominently in Hindu mythology - is believed to have been the great demon king of the fortress island of Lanka, now Sri Lanka. He is portrayed as having ten heads and twenty arms, and is supposed to have been able to change his form as he pleased. In Hindu mythology, Ravana is portrayed as an evil, demon king, the villain in the famous story of Rama and Sita, as chronicled in the Sanskrit epic - Ramayana. However, in Sri Lankan culture, Ravana is often considered in a more positive light - a skilled warrior, a healer adept in Ayurvedic practices, and a powerful king, who even possessed an ancient flying machine, the Pushpak-vimana. Like the Sthripura Cave in Welimada, legend has it that it was used by King Rawana to hide the Princess Sita. It is also thought to be connected to the cave at the Dowa rock temple in Bandarawela (part of King Walagamba's famous 'tunnel network'). Archaeological findings include a human skull dating back to 20,000 BC. These tunnels prove beyond doubt the architectural brilliance of King Ravana. The tunnels served as a quick means of transport through the hills and also as a secret passage. They networked all the important cities, airports and dairy farms. A close look at these tunnels indicates that they are man-made and not natural formations. Existing tunnel mouths are also situated at Ishtripura in Welimada, Senapitiya in Halagala, Ramboda, Labookelle, Wariyapola in Matale, and Seetha Kotuwa in Hasalaka and in many more places. for more information read below www.talesofceylon.com/destinations/ella/tales-of-ella/the-legend-of-king-ravana-and-the-ravana-caves/

7:15 Thilak - "Your country drink Green Tea only ?" Davud - "I am 28 right now" 😂 16:18 Davud said "No discount" But I think Thilak gave him a discount anyway. At the beginning of the video he said the buffet cost Rs:250/- , but he charged only Rs: 200/- for the buffet. 👍

[@freecommentor]

7:29 Dude, he was asking whether you mix milk with tea in your country as well or do you have only green tea (or black tea). 🤭😉 9:12 💡 Some small restaurants like this, cover plates with a material we call “lunch sheets” for hygienic reasons and for the ease of cleaning. Not a Covid precaution. And due to tough regulations, those are made of environmentally friendly materials. (Not simply plastic.) 12:09 It is really a different kind of banana called “ash plantains”, which is not eaten row. 19:27 Most rural businesses in 🇱🇰🇱🇰 like this, use mobile internet connections through a router or directly from a phone.

9:30 Davud, in SL, they put the polythene wrap around the plate, so that usually, people eat on the polythene food wrapper, then the kitchen staff does not need to wash dishes. it's pretty common in SL.. great content ...

[@niroshanviduranga6328]

Hi Davud. If I am right, the cave should be Archaeological Site. because Sri Lanka has the oldest evidence in South Asia for the humans who use stones which way back to 48000 years. And its Sorry there are no explanation in the cave.

[@michaelnathanielsz9551]

Em… Hey Davuad, loved 🥰 your video, my family of eurasians ran a tea plantation of 250 acs in Ella for many generations (which is a truly wonderful spot on the island) & not far from these famed caves to this 1,500 ft rock where there was a Buddhist monastery & the sleeping statue of Lord Gautama (which was featured in your video), and close below are the Rawana (water) falls, frequented by tourists & locals alike (named after king Rawana/ Rama). Even before we ‘had’ to emigrate down under to ‘Oz’ these caves were famous or ‘infamous’ for the incarceration/ prisoning of a young beautiful princess “Sita” consort to be married to King 👑 Rama of South India 🇮🇳 by protagonist ‘Hanuman’ the monkey lord/king of (the island of Lanka) - this is written down in the text of the ancient treatise & book of the Bhagavad Gita, a written work that preceded (I believe) Buddhism 🕉 arriving in Lanka 2,500 yrs ago & which predate dated Christianity by at least 500 yrs! Difficult for myself as a 13 yo boy to believe, tho understand an army, including elephants (ancient tanks!) was assembled by princess Sita’s consort Rama to invade the island (about the size of Tasmania) along the submerged land bridge b/w the Indian sub- continent (with the assistance of “winged beings!) 25 kms away (bridge seen by NASA satellite 🛰 pics) & rescue her from her incarceration from this very cave in your video! Fascinating 🧐 story & fable! It was the very 1st time I had heard of “vimana” or effectively flying machines & this was to a Christian boy back in the late ‘60’s’! Too much to handle! Very believable now! Thanks for posting - brought many memories!

[@shiranthiperera8109]

Hope you have an amazing holiday here and Yes Ella is one of the coolest cities in Sri Lanka and the coldest city is called Nuwara Eliya. *The banana curry is been called Ash plantains curry! It’s a cooking banana, before it becomes ripe, n cooked with coconut milk n mild spices as a white curry! * The coconut sambol is made of freshly grated coconut pounded with chili flakes, shallot, pepper corns, salt, Maldives fish and a dash of lime juice!

Hello Davud, watched the video and nicely done! By the way, the cave has more to it! looks like you missed it.

Check out with the locals or the monks in the temple.

[@samanthapalayangoda9723]

Brother, you should mix small portions from each curry along with relatively large portion from rice together for one month full. The proper way to use your right hand and mix those together about 5 seconds and tuck into your mouth. If you eat single mouthfuls from each curry, you will have a powerful harsh taste. The authentic Sri lankan dishes needs to be mixed well before you eat. then you will have combined new taste which is good. Do not put too much Currys to a single mouthful. Good taste comes with about 50% rice and 50% currys. And mix well for each month full.

I think most visitors are ill-informed. Some think that Kottu is Sri Lankans' staple food and it is not. Same with Roti. They come in different varieties and the most loved Sri Lankan variety is Pol Rotl (Roti made mixed with freshly grated coconut) and you should try the same with Ginger tea once. Welcome to Sri Lanka.

[@kosalagarusinghe2488]

You are mostly correct but I think all the roti varieties are adaptations from South Indian people and properly 'Nationalized' now.

[@kingsexploits]

@@kosalagarusinghe2488 Yes, you are right. Most dishes and food that now we called ours are in fact adopted and nationalized versions. Thanks for the input.

quick tip: if you come across plates in restaurants covered in a plastic wrap, serve food onto it but don't take the wrap off. It's there for hygiene purposes and to make it easier to clean the plates. Staff will throw away the plastic (polyethene) wrap with the leftover food and then wash the plates.
