- Visiting Sri Lanka's Highest Mountain Village - Shanthipura, Nuwara Eliya Sri Lanka
Video about the stay at the homestay here ➡ • I Stayed Overnight In ...
Next to the mountain town of Nuwara Eliya, there is a small village called Shanthipura. It’s an interesting place to visit as it’s the highest village in Sri Lanka with over 2300m (7540ft) above mean sea level. I was curious to check it out, so I rented a motorbike and went up there. Join me on this trip here in the mountains of Sri Lanka.

I am Ken Abroad, a full-time traveler traveling southeast Asia, currently in Sri Lanka, making Sri Lanka travel vlogs. It is my goal here on this channel to visit every country in southeast Asia and bring you along the journey.
You won’t see much tourist places in my videos, I rather like to show the “real” sides of each country in my videos. Where do the local people go to eat? Where do they hang out? How do the locals travel through the country? Stuff like that.
There will be almost daily uploads on this channel, during the next months from Sri Lanka. I will be traveling Sri Lanka, showing you around local places and try lots of different Sri Lankan food. Join the journey if you are interested in experiencing Sri Lanka now from a more authentic local point of view.

Hello Ken, love your Sri Lanka videos. You are very humble. If you like I would really like to invite you for a lunch and to spend a day in Kegalle (My mothers place) or in Colombo where now I live. If you find time in during your stay please tell me. We would love to have you.
Oh! And Monks robe colors represent their sects. I cannot remember which color for which sect because monks wear only what is offered and people tend to offer robes without much considering the colors. Normally Monks wear, orange, brick red and brown. Monks wearing Brown is usually monks who lives in forests and only eat from "pindapaatha" Which means these monks go to nearby villages during meal time and people offer food to the pot they are carrying.
Hi Ken You should Try Kandy to Ella Train in Day time. it is one of the beautiful and scenery train journeys in the world.
Can u go nothen part of the county?
There is a place whuch u can see 360 degree.
The place is "Issinbassagala"
Located at A 9 road before Vauniya town.
Dont miss Kandy Esala Perahara next july.
Hey Ken, Here's three destinations I suggest you to visit;
- Sigiriya rock Fortress in Matale
- Sacred city of Anuradhapura
- Ancient city of Polonnaruwa
Who agrees with me?
Sigiriya not in Matale mate
Yeah, but I meant Matale District
👍💯
@@MrCools244 arhahaha good one. KEn explorers the non tourist local experience and you tell all tourist spots
because of your humble personality and smile you get the best treats and service from our people. so nice to see you try local treats and tea. Ken you are a Nice Guy we are with you for your whole youtube journey...🙂🤞🙏
I agree 100 %
@@phanneebutrabamrung73 yes2… Known him about 2yrs since our (Malaysia) 1st lock down .. He was in Msia for about a year then to Thailand .. Nice guy!!
Proud of my hard working Sri Lankan people. The simple, salt of the Earth people have been through so much, and continue to go through hardship, but they persevere. Good job Ken showing the true Sri Lanka! Don't forget to try and climb Sri Pada / Adam's Peak :)
I’m so impressed with the little shop owner. He understood everything you said and spoken very well. He must be a well educated person who’s having a hard time finding a job with Sri Lankan economy these days.
He was a great guy 😊
Being an entrepreneur is the best job rather than working for someone else.. Sri Lankans really have to let go of this doctor engineer lawyer accountant mentality..🤷🏾♀️
@@tamarind1459 it’s true if you live in somewhere else. In Sri Lanka you can’t make enough out of what he doing. The gas Prices and fuel prices go up every single day. I just watched SL news showing 2 hour lines to fuel up vehicles. Just think if he can’t buy gas or fuel to do his business. I didn’t mean to insult him or anything. I hope he’ll become Successful businessman!!
@@maxliya466 where ever you live if you are happy in what you do that's what matters..only Sri Lankans go behind white collar jobs. But white collar jobs it self don't make an economy.
Sri Lankan people have big hearts and great hospitality. ❤️💖
Thanks for capturing a real slice of life from our rural livelihoods Ken. Humbly proud of my fellow countrymen with their big hearts for hospitality and genuine care. No wonder Sri Lanka 🇱🇰has during the recent past repeatedly featured right up on the list of best travel destinations in the world🌏
Great content👍. Keep rolling🎥 ..keep sharing📲 All the best 👌👌
Hi Ken! It is glad to see you are doing well. There are few places I should mention. If you have enough time visit these places in Nuwara eliya.
Single tree hill
Lover's leap waterfall
Moon plains safari (don't if it is a rainy day)
Bomburu ella falls (need to go on foot for some hike)
The blackpool area (surrounding area is really beautiful)
Horton plains
Ambewela milk factory
And nuwara eliya to hatton road is very beautiful. You can see few waterfalls from the road.
Have a great journey. Stay safe.
Thank you so much for loving Sri Lanka so much. You will be remembered forever in the hearts of the people of Sri Lanka. ♥️ 🇱🇰🇱🇰🇩🇪 🇩🇪
Wow that little shop owner is so humble
Hi Ken, you are really an adventurous person. You visited many places in Thailand & now you are doing it in Sri Lanka. I don't know how much you discovered in Malaysia. The last place I visited in Malaysia is called Kelantan which is in the North bordering Thailand. Although a Malaysian, I believe that I still have many, especially interior remote places to visit. I also know quite a lot about Sri Lanka & I have visited Nuwara Eliya a number of times but I have never been to places that you are visiting. I wonder whether even many Sri Lankans know these places. You are really doing a great job.
Thanks a lot 🙌😊 yeah I've visited many places all around peninsula Malaysia in 2020. Also great memories and I'm planing to return to Malaysia later this year 😊
@@KenAbroad Hi Ken next visit to Malaysia you should visit Sabah and Sarawak
sri lanka is my faourite country
Oh wooooow, another off the beaten path adventure. It's always wonderful to see your interaction with the friendly locals and most of them can speak pretty good English. That vendor who sells snacks, is so helpful to show you the tea shop even though he's frying some snacks in the hot oil. The snacks you try are also available in Malaysia. I love the first snack known as "vada/vadai".
Milk rice is more tasty with onion samble (Lunu miris).
It's so nice to see local people helping you with everything. It warms my heart. I'm always waiting for your videos.
Stay safe dear.....
People are so friendly and genuine there!
Love to see our fellow Sri Lankans treating this man like one of our own, or even better.
Waiting for your content Ken - I love how authentic you seem as a person - you seem to have a magnetic personality which draws a lot of good folk to you :) Enjoy your extended stay in Sri Lanka! Glad you got the Visa
Thanks a lot 🙌😊
@@KenAbroad I was in Germany (Giessen) for 6 months as an exchange student - was fun :) Seht gut. Ich spreche ein bisien bisien deutch :D
Its 21 minutes but i still cant get enough Ken..! Especially your eating part when you have everything on a table...feel like want to see your face expression and hear yr comments on each kind of food...😁
😅😄
Such lovely welcoming people.🙂 bless their hearts.❤️ In contrast to visiting an European village as a foreigner.
Wow.. what a splendid view! I wish I could be there right now breathing that fresh air instead of the polluted city dirt 🌁
People there in Sri Lanka are kind not stuck the lipton tea is also here with us that as well as milo here in the philippines idol ken good evening everyone GOD BLESS you🇵🇭🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lipton, hendrick, ceylon & dilmah..all brands are Sri Lankan made.
It makes tears to my eyes to see how wonderful my poor countrymen treating this young German very honestly, hats off to the guy who genuinely offered Wade and Munguly without cheating , It was a lovely people and lovely country when I left, may all those good qualities stay there with genuine people like this. Ken, you are a very lucky guy to meet many o good innocent poor but rich in heart people in Sri Lanka, because you too seem to be the very kind-hearted guy from that beautiful Germany, good luck and wish you all the best in your future trips I am a Sri Lankan now live in Australia
Another good one Ken. People there are so friendly. Beautiful country. Stay Safe
Wow ! Nuwara Eliya is my favourite city in whole of Sri Lanka..❤️ But I have been there only once,that too when I was a kid..😩 Love the village vibes ,not a lot of pollution n a peaceful surrounding....We need constant uploads Ken.. Waiting for sooooo long....❤️ from Colombo,Sri Lanka..🇱🇰:)
The hardest climbs lead to beautiful destinations you say :>
The most valuable things i could se in your video; Natuaral beauty along with beautiful Sri Lankan hearts.. I's sure thats why People rushinbg in to Sri lanka at all the time...
Wow so green so beautiful srilanka🇵🇰
That guy just left his shop all open to show Ken where to have tea...Thats the wealth of my country...❤️
'Mun Guli' is one of my favorite food. that little shop owner seems a super nice guy.
OMG! I d know Sri Lanka is this much beautiful I would love to visit there.
Warmly welcome. please come and enjoy
Hi Ken 👋🏻 what a lovely day having breakfast at the balcony. Ahh...the milk rice finally you got to taste it. It's great when you get to explore the area , wandering around the villages on a bike , love the coolness and foggy weather up there and of course the people are super awesome 👍 the generous Ken with his tips 🤣 always being nice to the locals and hope you reach the hotel before the rain comes , see you in the next 👍🥰
Thanks mr.Ken,even we sri lankans never visited and enjoyed this place.i appreciate your politeness and humbleness everytime.
Happy to see you enjoying Sri Lanka. I like this channel
Woww superb!! Ken, Thanks for the video dude👏👏🤞🍀
How come even villagers who sell Dhal cookies can speak reasonably good English. Awesome to see they able to communicate easily with tourist ❤️
Wow amazing vedio about our village i saw you when your recording this vedio thank you so much brother. ❤️❤️
Small shop guy is very kind.. Very good.. 💪❤
Ken, those black birds on the trees are crows. The green plants which are grown near the temple are leeks, grown from garlic bulbs. They taste delicious when fry with roasted pork or sausages. ( That's how we, Chinese, normally cook them )
Wooooow, those mountains are incredibly beautiful. Love the mountain village vibes and that baby monkey is so cute.
Awesome as always and thank you for sharing with us your fantastic time in Shanthipura.
Oh would love to try it with roasted pork 😊
@@KenAbroad then, must come back to Malaysia to try it at a Chinese restaurant 😄
Love Your video you are always so excited 😆 and happy 😃 thanks for share
Another lovely video!❤️
Thank you so much for making these amazing videos sir!
I don't skip the ads for you!
Thanks for this wonderful video.
Really enjoying your travels around SL, I am learning from your adventures! It is my favourite place in the world.
I am so happy that you are having a great time in Sri Lanka.
Hands down, you are an awesome traveler! Wishing you the best for the next two months of travels in SL 👍🙏
Hiya Ken, love watching your adventures. Beautiful views. Good vibes. Thank you for sharing. Have a lovely weekend.
Hi Ken..really i was eager to see your next video..after you going to Nuwaraeliya..really you have chosen a nice place to visit agan..the highest village in srilanka..thanks for sending the details ken..the food you ate made with dhal..here we call Wade..or parippu wade..i really like to watch your videos..stay safe..have a good day ken👍
Ken I am a Sri Lankan. I've been watching a lot of your videos lately. I am really glad you came to our country and enjoyed the beauty of so many places in our country. I hope you will visit Sri Lanka some more time. You have only seen a very small area in Sri Lanka so far. There are other beautiful places to visit, both rural and religious, as well as places of interest that I invite you to visit. Also, as a country that likes to say something, our country is very hospitable and treats tourists well. But there are also cunning merchants who warn us to beware of them. I also remind you to travel safely for health due to the infection situation these days. Safe Travel.🙂🤞
Hi ken itz an good video i saw you when your recorded this video. Im also in nuwaraeliya
Bro your videos are natural.. so authentic. Love them . Waiting for more....
Thanks a lot 😊🙌

Welcome to Sri Lanka.
The roads and clean surroundings are really nice. Even in the rural areas there is order. Needless to say the people are super friendly.
🥰 Very nice video bro..super 👌
Wow amazing nature and views up there Ken, and the experience with the locals very cool.
And the black bird yoy know the name is Crow mate. Anyhow enjoyed it and as always, C Ya in the next one, cheers 🙌🍻
Since you stay at Nuwaraeliya you are too close to the Horton Plains in the morning time and you will never forget the experience. That's one of the most beautiful place located near by. And you are so close to beautiful and some of the highest waterfalls in our country.
You are so genuine and humble person with a nice personality. Keep up the good works...
Usually where a foreigner never goes places you go my Friend. Great work keep uploading videos soon

Thank you 🙌😊
The Buddhism in Sri Lanka had died by the time at the beginning of the kandyan kingdom, so the king had to bring monks from Thailand (which was then named Siam) and re establish buddhism.. Later with time certain monks in SL migrated to Myanmar (which was then named ramagngna) and got re robed there according to their personal preferences, anyhow the buddhism brought from both countries have the same teaching! What differs only are the practices of monks i.e the monks following Siam usually wear orange robes and shave their head including eyebrows and monks following the other wear the robe what you saw and dont shave their eyebrows.. these are only two basic significant differences but there can be many but "note" its only their practices and not the buddhas teachings differ!! Its the same Theravada buddhism followed by the people here! 😊
I love this video god bless you
Hey ken!.. i saw you always try to go rural and beautiful places in Srilanka 🇱🇰. This is the beauty ❤️.. we like your attitude also.. keep it up 🙌
You should try Horton plains. It's a bit further away and a lot of walking but definitely worth it. There's a couple of waterfalls and there's a lot of deer, you might spot a leapord if you're lucky.
Horton Plains and then Kirigalpoththa. You would not regret.
Yes I also highly recommend Horton plains. It has two beautiful view points we call those as worlds end. And a beautiful trail. Try that out ken 👍
Very interesting. Keep it up
Hi ken thanx for showing our beautiful Paradise to whole world
I enjoyed this vlog a lot. Sri Lanka is a very beautiful place have spent a long time in this Gods own country
Amazing channel 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍
Fantastic to watch your very smooth mingling with local crowd and enjoy the locally available snakes.. experience to have..have a great time of my neighboring lovely country..
Nuwara Eliya is a beautiful town and the surounding area is so nice, and amazing people.
Yes it can be very cold, especially if you come up from the coast. It can also be very wet, last time I was there it never stopped raining but, so beautiful.
Good. Enjoy your travel
Thanks Mr ken your videos is natural & 👍 good
best cool vloger 😍🇱🇰 love that
I love your video so much.. I've been there one time.
Suggest you to visit Haputale after you're done with Nuwara Eliya. There you can visit a place called 'the Lipton Seat' and a few villages including one of the biggest tea factories at 'Dambathenna'.
That vegetable you try at the temple called leeks ...you can find it even europe ..it is belongs to onion family
What a nice one!!!
Beautiful srilanka .my mother country 🇱🇰
I’m from srilanka. When you go back to your country.
I like to travel with you around srilanka.
I can show you beautiful places and give valuable experience.

Sri Lanka heaven of paradise
Wow very nice and lovely people, and the all know some English, very nice to travel there. The food looks very nice.
I'm enjoying your youtube channel. It's cool bro. keep it up bro
Thank you 🙌😊
Hi Ken, Glad to see you are enjoying Nuwara Eliya. If you have some time check out Jagro strawberry farm. There's a small cafe there and you can have fresh strawberry related products like cheesecake, waffles etc. Also they have a really good hot chocolate drink. Cheers!!
Hi, Ken
Schön das du meine Heimat Sri Lanka durch deine Videos der breiten Masse zeigst. Ich schaue sie mir gerne an und erkenne einige Orte wieder. Ich lebe seit 2004 in Deutschland und bin mit einen Deutschen verheiratet. Mein Mann fühlt sich auch sehr wohl in Sri Lanka. Ich hoffe das reichhaltige Essen war dir nicht zu scharf :)
Excellent...
