This place is a different world -" Horton Plains is well recognized for its rich biodiversity, its flora given to a high level of endemism. 5% of species are found to be endemic to Sri Lanka. Horton Plains National park harbors 12 species of endemic birds the following birds are recorded only from Horton Plains" Sri Lanka blue magpie Cissa ornate , dusky blur flycatcher Eumyias sordisa , Sri Lanka white - eye Zosterops ceulonensis and Sri Lanka wood pigeon columba torringtonii . There are various species of harriers and buzzards
You brought me to my childhood coz I went there once. Too bad never had a chance afterwards as I got stuck with the city life (it's a different hectic lifestyle in Sri Lanka probably you've never exposed to). Be careful not to stumbling off from this precipitous cliff. This view is amazing and worth for couple of hours of hill climbing.
I have noticed that Sally adjusts her sunglasses far more often than a normal human should :) She looks spectacular in those glasses, so I can understand why she loves them, despite them being a size too big. Great vlog as usual guys. Hope you'll come back to Sri Lanka again.
@@SallyAndEd you can be forgiven for assuming the cold will put off snakes. I believed the same when I lived in Sri Lanka. When my family and I went on holiday to nuwara eliya there was a cobra sunbathing in the lovely lawns of the park.
Growing up in Colombo,we did not see much of Sri Lanka apart from when we went on vacation. Our trip to Horton plains blew my mind away. It definitely gives the impression that it has nothing in common with the rest of Sri Lanka. Horton plains used to have many leopards but were shot by British Hunter's in the 19th century. It's mentioned in the Indian epic story Ramyana. Sita's plane landed and the mountain is called Thotupola Kanda. Translated it means the mountain which has the airplane landing site. Also,the oldest evidence of human farming oats and Barley is found in Horton Plains. I was so fascinated by my trip as a 13 year old ,I brought back some of the "alien" looking soil from Horton plains to Colombo to grow a Rhododendron.
Can you imagine if everyone brought home a bag of soil, Horton Plains would be destroyed? In any case, it is a UNESCO site and should be left untouched. As a World Heritage Site it is of 'Oustanding Universal Value.'
Horton plains is the national park at highest altitude in Sri Lanka, It is the origin of main rivers of SL including the longest river ''Mahaweli'. Horton plains (also central highlands) is the heart of Sri Lanka as Sri Lanka gets rain and water thanks to these forests called cloud forests..If these cloud forests weren't there Sri Lanka could have been a dry desert!
@@SallyAndEd Yes, I have been there about 7 times. You can do camping too in the Horton plains (need to get permission from Wild life authority). I was so lucky to did camping there with my friends about 8 years back. It was so fun and unforgettable experience. Temperature was less than 5 celcius and no humans, only me and my friends 😀 .... also 2nd and 3rd highest mountains and highest waterfall are situated near Horton plains... i climbed highest mountain , 3rd highest mountain and went to see highest waterfall of 🇱🇰 Bambarakanda as well.... unforgettable memories ❤
If you ever make it to BC, Canada, we have cougars (& bears) that come into the towns and cities but generally stay in the wild. A cougar made my parents backyard (a forest) part of its territory. Then there was the cougar who went for high tea at the famous Victoria Empress Hotel in 1992.
Hi, at the same time. There are couple of camping sites in Horton Plains. Camp site 1 would be most of our choice. And there are couple of bungalows as well.. try camping, you'll love it more.. 👍👍
@@SallyAndEd if you guys are still in Sri Lanka, we can arrange a camping session, can try in Horton Plains but if not there are many more places where we can do camping.. and or ask someone whom would like if you guys are away.. 👍👍.. (I don't charge a cent. ✌️👍👍)
Thanks for sticking with us! We're actually heading back to Aus for a little bit before we're off again. Hopefully we'll get the opportunity to get some Aus content for you guys
A very nice vlog once again.I can't digest the fact that you are having only above ten thousand subcribers till now.My advice to you please explore India once again.Specially explore the unseen and this time stay for a longer duration in India.You will have addition of lot of subscribers as in India lot of new set ofpeople are becoming internet friendly ,they are starting to watch travel vlogs,train trips,car trips etc.You can certainly attract new watchers of you tube.So this time you will definitely add on your new subscribers from India itself.My best wishes are always with you.
I think the tuk tuk Guy is a travel guide bacuse. They mention tuk tuk from airbnb and he the (tuk tuk Guy) told about 🐆leopards and reptile 🦎 (but I can't see another human in the vlog ) so it is a ripped off
For foreigners knowledge, in tuk tuk less than 50rs for one km, there are scamers in sri lanka just like other countries, somehow they are trying to justify it is a correct thing🙈
Can you please help for them, even by one dollar දෙවි හාමුරුවනේ චුට්ටිම චුට්ටි වෙලාවකට මේක බලන්න th-cam.com/video/iPTBNvc6Zp4/w-d-xo.html ඔබට කලහැකි කුමක්ම හෝ දෙයක් කරන්න බැරිද ? බැරිනම් කමක් නෑ, මට පුලුවන් එයාල එයාලගෙම ගමනක් හදාගන්නා තුරු රුපියල් 10ක් දෙන්න, විතරයි

Woow Excellent video..!! keep up the journey. New Subscribers here
My parents live close to this national park and such a nice place. There are snakes in the national park even it's cold and something to watch out ;)
Hahah oh no!!! Good thing we didn't see any. I would have died!!

We would have LOVED to climb Adam's Peak. Unfortunately there wasn't enough time this trip. It's on our list for next time though FOR sure!
@@SallyAndEd next time :)
If you ever make it to BC, Canada, we have cougars (& bears) that come into the towns and cities but generally stay in the wild. A cougar made my parents backyard (a forest) part of its territory. Then there was the cougar who went for high tea at the famous Victoria Empress Hotel in 1992.
OMG this is so awesome! So great to hear from you Karen. We're hoping to make it to Canada late this year... Fingers crossed! You'v sold it to us
The cougar only made it to the underground parking - in case anyone is worried. Makes a great story.
Best wishes from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰❤️🤘

Wow
I know right?! So beautiful
Did you say the Tuk Tuk cost you 3500 for 35 Km's? Or was that the Air BnB price? If that was the Tuk Tuk cost you have been ripped off. @Sally And Ed
So true
And the video dates back 07/01/2020
I think the tuk tuk Guy is a travel guide bacuse. They mention tuk tuk from airbnb and he the (tuk tuk Guy) told about 🐆leopards and reptile 🦎 (but I can't see another human in the vlog ) so it is a ripped off
And the ending is ❤️❤️🥰
You both are beautiful 😍
You guys are so nice...
Thanks Kalum
And.. I think those shades are a bit too big to keep steady!..🙊🙊.. you were like pushing it endlessly.. 😬😬😁😁
It was such an awesome experience!

For foreigners knowledge, in tuk tuk less than 50rs for one km, there are scamers in sri lanka just like other countries, somehow they are trying to justify it is a correct thing🙈
Leopards control the vegetation
Thats so awesome!
