My Sri Lanka Travel Tips After 2 Week of Backpacking Sri Lanka
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ม.ค. 2018
- After traveling Sri Lanka for 2 weeks, I've put together this video which outlines what it's like to travel in Sri Lanka, and offers some tips for traveling Sri Lanka. I summarize the transportation, the hotels and accommodations, what to watch out for, and the overall experience that I had. This is a must-watch if you are planning a trip to Sri Lanka.
Our trip took us from Colombo, along the coast for a short visit to Galle before heading to Mirissa to go whale watching and hangout on the beach. We then went to Tangalle for more of Sri Lanka's beautiful beaches, and then Tissa for a Yala Safari tour. After that, we headed up to Ella where we did a tour of a local village, and then took the train to Kandy where we hung out for a few days before ending our trip at the beach town probably best known for being close to the airport - Negombo.
🍳 For information about the food in Sri Lanka (what to eat, the costs, what to expect, etc) watch my follow-up video, which can be found at the end of this one.

Thank you for visiting Sri Lanka. Our tourists arrivals is increasing very fast. Last year 2.1 million and our population is only 21 million so about 1/10 as much of our population have visited our country. That has contributed a lot to our economy and it will help to increase the facilities in public transport and infrastructure.
Hi! Wanna watch the coolest things to do in Sri Lanka: th-cam.com/video/od5QLzyAw_Y/w-d-xo.html
lovely country!
SL weera India to srilanka
I'm a Pakistani, working in Saudi Arabia as travel agent. Visited Sri Lanka last year in Jan 2017 and am planning to visit again in Feb 2019. I didn't try to "SAVE MONEY" so I booked 4 Star hotels , each and everything were SUPER PERFECT & not expensive at all. Sri Lanka is BEST PLACE to visit 👍
Love from Pakistan ❤
I have been tamil nadu recently and visited rameswaram also adam bridge. I have to say that sri Lanka looks pretty clean in comparison with Indian side.
It's cleaner and I find that the people are happier to see tourists.
yes, Sri Lanka is much cleaner.
Peter Vlčko 😂😂😂
kirihettige don Kirihetti brueahahahahahaha 😀
European like clean
We lost everthing during the war time. But we stand up again by alone so quickly.. Thats the greatness of sri lanka. We wil bring up our sri lanka to the best in south Asia very soon.if you go to sri lanka go with love then you will find everything lovely.....
I have been to Sri Lanka 3 times and I love everything about it. It’s definitely cleaner than it’s south Asian neighbours. Food is great and the scenery is beautiful.
@ Thanks for complimenting my country
Thank you. this all about mindset
I've been to Sri-Lanka 3 times previously and returning again in July of this year. Sri-Lanka is a untapped gem where it's people are kind, generous and friendly. Haggle with Tuk Tuk drivers because they will overcharge if you let them. But overall you will have a great experience in Sri-Lanka. My favourite hotel is the Hilton Colombo.
thank you sir. we can't expect star facilities on cheap prices ❤️
Sri Lanka is so beautiful!
Rent a small car and travel. You will really enjoy. Visits villages. Never stay in Colombo. If you go to Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa, you will see real nature of Sri Lanka.
They were trying to live way cheaper than locals do and travel. ???? Hiring a car???
Im Sri Lankan and I think this chap gave a fair assessment. He loved the country and was honest about his experience and some of the problems. We can only improve with constructive criticisms.
Thank you. People hear something negative and they take it as a personal attack. I loved Sri Lanka. It's a great place to travel. But if you just read the comments you'd think I had a terrible time and I only complained about it in the video.
Dude 5500 LKR for THISSA To ELLA ? Its a good deal .. !! Even a local don't complaint of things that you mentioned in this video. You just a window shopper!!!
I think it's a good price for a private car, but I think there is a hole in the market for travelers that want to go from Thissa to Ella (and there are many of them). The options are private car, or busy and slow local bus. And I think there is only one bus in the morning that goes directly there. Any other time of the day you have to transfer.
Western travelers would be willing to spend 1000 LKR for a direct bus that has assigned seating.
One of the best countries to travel. Sri Lanka is safe and amazing 🇱🇰
Thanks bro
I subscribe you few week ago.
Very informational! love it! subbed! Excited to see more upcoming vlogs!
Divert Living but I request you do not follow this vlog only bcz he has stayed and had transportation modes veryyyyyy cheap ones...soo you get what you pay broo....cheers....
Hey mate, it's funny you took off and he didn't. Replying to comments is a huge part of TH-cam. Got to reconnect with your Channel. Respect For Riel.....
For anyone visiting Sri Lanka best advise would be don't go for the cheapest option. That is not the best way to see the gorgeous island. Remember all ur 'expensive' pricing help support many industries that depend on tourism. Spending that little bit extra can be the difference between saving 2 - 3 days in idle travel time. As mentioned in these comments u get what u pay for. Don't sacrifice the chance to see amazing beauty for $1000 bucks extra in ur bank account. Simply not worth it.
Hashan Punchihewa unless you don't have an extra thousand dollars...
richard allen in that case u shouldn't be doing any complaining in your video as many other people have suggested in the comments section.
Very good point I agree
Sometimes the most interesting things happen to you in a bus station or during "idle" travel time. It's not about seeing everything...it's about experiences in life and those happen everywhere all the time...and are free. It's clear you work in the tourist industry. I don't think that there is any shortage of people who want luxury holidays so no need to tell people on a budget or who want different experiences out of travel how much to spend.
You could take uber or pick-me services now in Sri Lanka. For anyone thinking of coming here. just get the phone app and you're good to go. But it's more common in western province
Vega Cloud surprisingly, yes.
Vega Cloud yeah actually you can get a elephant ride on uber. Little bit more expensive if you do the ride share so it’s cheaper to do just 1 person and comfortable.
Btw after the ride make you you tip the elephant so get bananas for the elephant.
😂😂😂😂😂
I live in Australia. The comforts and luxury you get in Sri Lankan 5 star hotels are far better than Australian 5 star hotels . And the Sri Lankan buffet / meals in those 5 star hotels are far better than Australian 5 star meals . And the most important thing the price in those 5 star hotels in Sri Lanka lesser than Australian 5 star hotel rates .
But the thing is you can’t expect luxury from airBNB hotels . And those public transport are for some of those Sri Lankan people ( financially struggling) who can’t afford their own cars / taxi to go to work etc . Those type of public transport is definitely not for travellers who need comfort and relaxation and to Holliday out. I’m not sure why travellers want to use this type of cheap mode of transport that are meant for people for day to day transport and for those who actually struggle in poverty. Please use taxi or Uber or chauffeur driven cars, which some of them are very comfortable and luxurious and doesn’t have the price tag of developed countries. If you want to travel cheap can use tuk tuk instead for short distances, but have to be cautious with some of the tuk tuk drivers over pricing
Thank you for visiting Sri Lanka..come back soon.
Good Health and Happiness to you all.
The internet’s still better than Australia’s.
+thilo T really? Why's that?
Itchy Feet on the Cheap it’s slow as here. Sri Lanka’s should be better as most of the latest tech is there for the purpose of being experimented, which is the case for most small countries
CAN CONFIRM, Home in AUS gets 4.5Mbps (nbn rollout still underway), ADSL2 in parents home in SL (not near any big city) 16Mbps
To be honest, Sri Lanka's most internet connections are faster than the U.S. and Canada's regular home broadband internet, especially the fibre optic lines that are getting popular have amazing speeds (around 40-80 Mbps) that I haven't even experienced in big institutes in the U.S. (such as universities). If you stayed in a lot of smaller hotels (often referred to as "Guest Houses"), they probably have cheap internet connections that is shared between all guests.
Agreed!!
Will be visiting Sri Lanka soon and I appreciate your video, very informative.
Don't use regular tuk tuk in srilanka..if you wanna ride in a tuk tuk just use uber or pivk me. Even we are srilankans sometimes we also get scammed by these tuk tuk drivers.. use public transportation and it will save you few bugs. Hope you liked visiting our county and hope you'll come again. 😁
I loved your country and I'd like to come back and travel the north part.
Love from India. Loved Sri Lanka. Been there 2 times.. Lovely
Great information as usual, all the important stuff.
Pretty accurate description of Sri Lanka. You guys seamed a lot more patient with the public transportation situation that I did. Also you’re right it could be better organized, but it was far worse than it is now just a few years ago. Although it’s a bit chaotic at the moment, once the country learns to handle its visitors better it will be the best place to visit. My only advice to tourists is that you please respect the local culture. Sri Lankan’s are extremely friendly people and would go out of their way to help you if you show them that you appreciate them.
All in all, I enjoyed watching this video!
I think you're dead on. It'll only get easier. Less than 10 years ago they were in a civil war - it takes time.
Michelle oh really. I've been to shitty USA. You people have no public transportation at all. You have to have a car everywhere. Also you people have homeless shitting all over the streets in your large cities. 😂 Wtf
Hey, If you are trying to live cheaper than locals and want to enjoy the country, what is the point???. Public transport is for Sri Lankan citizens who pay taxes and that's why the fares are heavily subsidized. You want to exploit those cheap service and complain. Whats is the point of U visiting a 3rd world country and complaining about public facilities because you could not live and travel way cheaper than locals. I do not think you are the type of tourists Sri Lanka is looking for as you guys even do not have the open mindedness.
Even we stay in a more convenient place when we travel around our country.....so it's very rude of saying negative things regarding the accomadations,food and transportation etc....Bcz if you wanna experience a great journey,you probably stay in star hotels like kingsburry,cinnamon grand,hilton,galadari,taj samudra,galle face hotel,jet wing hotel etc....and use private transportation modes....I kindly request those who read these comments,friends....just search and be aware how my little country looks like and how great people and scenic places and hospitality we've got...cheers bro...invite you all just visit our country once....you'll feel what a wonderful journey you have experienced and it will be remembered in your entire life...cheers....
I wasn't trying to be negative. I think that most foreign travelers that watch this won't see it as negative. I'm just telling people what to expect. It's not complaining. I loved Sri Lanka and will go back one day.
Itchy Feet on the Cheap it's ok.....I apologize from you for my misunderstanding....welcome you whenever you visit us.....but next time I hope you'll choose the best accommodation,transportation etc.....you know...c u....cheers...again sorry....I also tried to convey that in my country it's not that much harsh....thumb up...cheers...
it is important to learn from the "other" point of reference without seing it as something bad!!!
I dont think you'll get anything good for cheap prices in any country. If you want good quality service you need to pay more. Most of the free wifi is always slow in sri lanka. And if you realy want seats on a train try booking Exporail , Rajadhani express you'll get a good quality service. Uber is cheaper than other countries. See whether the tuk tuks have meters before getting in so they cant overcharge you and make sure you remind them to turn it on. Use PICKME (pickme is a app like uber) app if for tuk tuk bookings they cant overcharge when you use that.
Last part was really helpful. Will be there next week... yeeeee
Even a local, the prices you mentioned are really good. 🙄🙄🙄
Good Job. Very informative . Can't understand why there are over 200 dislikes. I think you were honest and positive overall.
Sri Lankan men are so good looking
Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing good information!! :DThis is very useful for me before I visit Sri Lanka this winter
Thanks so much. Very helpful. Travelling in a month !
there are many transportation options available such as pick me, uber, etc... even most of locals use them because of safety & reliability. as a Sri Lankan we think its fair prices. Buses are busy during the rush hours (before and after the school / office work) anyway thank you for visiting Sri Lanka 🙏🙏🙏
Bro,
*Try to stay in 3,4 or 5 star hotels & use rent a car/ motorbike / hotel transport with a driver
* Find food from some good restaurents
* Buy your own sim card & activate mobile date (Dialog, Airtel)
* Always bring enough money when you travel then you wouldn't be complaining
Internet isn't that slow in Sri Lanka, But may be in some Airbnb places you stayed, My wifi gets between 20-42mbps.
When an entire hotel's worth of people are on it it's slow. Sometimes I would get up really early when everyone else is sleeping and it would be fast.
cheer up man you're on holiday! i have been to Sri Lanka and you gotta just put up with things like having dhal spilt over you on a train or a wild elephant stopping traffic. In fact often it is the more unfortunate events that make for the best stories years later.
I loved it. I'm all about adventure. Sorry if this video seemed a little down, but I was just trying to give people a heads-up about what it was like there compared to other popular tourist destinations in Asia.
Guys, surprising to hear such comments about Sri Lanka. It’s a paradise island!
Thank you for visiting our paradise island!
Thank you for visiting my country.
Thanks for having me. Your country is incredible.
We all love our country but its not perfect we all know that too. He is just sharing his experience. Without shitting on everything just learn to take take the positive aspect of criticism. Commenting like you just came out of the jungle wont help tourism grow or give our country a good reputation.
Sri Lanka is by FAR the best country to visit in South Asia! If you are a picky first world country tourist that will have an attitude then you will not enjoy it. Even the A/C busses will not be as cool as the busses in USA. Get over it! It’s a 3 rd world country. If you want luxury like that go to Europe.
If you are down for a gem 💎 of natural beauty, nice people, delicious food and breathtaking views go there!!
I am Mexican and I love, love Sri Lanka.
I can not agree that internet is slow. Maybe in jungle, but in most places it was always 4G (if you use local sim card, which cost 10$ for 200 miniutes worldwide, 10GB of broadband).
I am sri lankan all he said is true but the bus service is great. He could have used a A/C bus service or semi luxuary bus service which charge double the price but no crowd gets on. The crowd is limited. I disagree on the complain he maid on the bus service.
@@LankanAussie First of all learn to make a decent comment. Do you really have to use the F word? Get lost.
Thank you for visiting Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 🤝 ❤❤
My airbnbs in Lisbon (I have 4 flats) offer shampoo, if you ever decide to visit Portugal :-) Thanks for all your tips, I plan to visit Sri Lanka ins 2019.
Sure Elsa. Will consider your flat when I visit Lisbon.
Can’t expect good things to come buy if you are on budget. Stop complaining about an amazing country that have a lot to offer if you put some money into it. Go to work and get rich so you can enjoy. I know where you live. I am typing this in the same section of the city we are in. I am watching you. Sweet nightmares!
😁😁😂 superb comment I've ever seen
Agreed
Thank you < absolutely right
thank you for visiting sri lanka
You are mostly welcome to sri lanka bro..!!
Yes, alcohol and cigarettes are expensive i have to admit that but its not good for health though..!! :)
However in a small amount of time you can see lots of things in here mainly the climate change, eco difference, larger wild life( yes we are gifted with that) also you missed the gorgeous elephants, also you have to visit nuwa elila, kandy, sigiriya( which is the rock fortress), Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Galle fort ( magnificent site to see) Hikkaduwa, White water rafting in kithulgala, we have tons of water falls ( visit my channel), tones of view points etc..
If you're traveling on road in a city area, Avoid 6.30-7.45 am and 12.30 - 2.30 pm and 5.00 - 7.30 pm. In those times, roads are usually crowded.
Welcome..❤
wow!!
I HEAR THEM PEACOCKS 😭❤ HOMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I MISS YOUUU
C0_0KI3 hello mind your f?£@ word
the fuck....
Hi ,thanks for the video)let me ask what about tap water IS safe for Wash the mouth ir not ? Cause in india not ?
I don't know. I think if you just brush your teeth with it and spit it out it should be ok.
Hi Anyone can state their own opinion.....budget is budget I saved up and visited sri teice ehen I had a good job ...stayed in 5 star eith driver all my trips included eent back in guest jouses also very good ..went to yala but also other eildlife sanctuaries ewhere I could and they were trips of a lifetime...was not much to do at night but was really hot so didnt care wonderful and eould do it all again
Thank you. You could add that certain people prey on insufficiently suspicious holidaymakers by operating scams. Beware! :)
Hi. Can you tell me what camera you used for this video please? Thanks in advance
Canon 60D for the pretty stuff, gopro for most of the shots of me.
Sri lanka is awesome country and beautiful country ever i see
Just to make a clarification there - Buses owned by the government (Red ones) are way faster than the private ones and the cost is the same except for the A/C ones.
Thanks for clarifying. The A/C ones are pretty rare I think. We only took one. It was still cheap and not as packed, but pretty slow still.
Itchy Feet on the Cheap That's true. The A/C ones are rare. What I actually meant was that red buses don't stop and wait at bus stops for a long time while the private ones wait upto a maximum of 20min which is a lot of time. Unless you wanna kill some time, you should probably get on a red bus :)
@@itchyfeetonthecheap AC ones are rare because its not economical outside colombo and few urban areas becuase people still choose cheeper option non AC. Specially.u were in Hambantota district pretty much rural agrarian economy so people can't afford expensive options
Great video and very helpful. We spent 6 days in Sri Lanka, mainly Galle, and enjoyed it. Check out our last video in Galle Sri Lanka and tell s what you think?
be careful in street market example king coconut one is only 50 rs...but someone sale to foreigners 150rs
Good country
Just came from a two weeks holiday from SL. A police officer stopped our privately hired car and requested for a ride share. It was a very uncomfortable feeling. Our tour driver couldn’t say no. Just watch out for these unexpected things. Other than that superb place to visit
Grey Phantome normally police here don't stop vehicles to get a ride. Maybe he knew your driver so he gave him a ride, you probably didn't understand what happened because of the language gap. Anyway our country is very different from western countries so you will experience things you are not used to.
SL weera
I understand Sinhalese perfectly but since living overseas for nearly 25 years the experience was unexpected. Btw The driver is the same one we hire every year. He just couldn’t say no. it’s my home and always will be. But I didn’t like the fact the cop just asked for a ride in a private car. Even if the driver knew the cop he should have asked us before letting a stranger into the car as we hired the car through Casons and paid a premium daily rate. Nevertheless I love this country
nah bro, happened to me too, the officer who asked me was pretty polite though and it was super late so no ill feelings.
Sonal Perera
Fair enough just wasn’t used to it
What do you mean by driver couldn't say no? Nobody can get into a vehicle without permission. Did he say no? Or you just assumed that he didn't because he couldn't?
thank you for visiting sri lanka and I apologise as a sri lankan for some difficulties. probably our government should improve the service quality for the foriegn visitors.thanks for this video and hope you visit again our country.
No need to apologize. I think there is a difference in our cultures. When I say something negative, for example about the transportation, I don't mean it as a complaint - I mean it as a warning to western travelers. I just want them to know what to expect. But I enjoyed riding the local buses. And when I felt like it was too much, I took a private car. I loved your country and I'll certainly be back one day.
As a Sri Lankan, I recommend not to visit popular places in SL, because they are crowded and usually scammers are there. If you really want to visit one of those famous places, go on a weekday. Weekends or holidays are very crowded with locals.
But there are so many beautiful places that has not revealed by travelers. Many of them are isolated.
Thanks for the tips. When I go back to SL I will definitely follow this advice. The first time in a country is a little intimidating, so going to popular areas makes it easier.
Kevin McHale is a backpacker?
I kid, new subscriber here, thanks for posting. Go Celtics!!!
Dont expect luxury spending less
Have to say though that sri lanka has five star luxury if you are willing to pay the price...of course the price will be more if you want great services it is like that in every country...these things you mentioned in the video are issues u face when you go for the cheaper option...we have got some amazing hotels...great transport especially for tourist who are willing the pay the price ..I mean tissa to ella transport price is very cheap in a locals perspective...just because sri lanka is a devoloping nation does not mean everything is cheap...
wellcome to srilanka
There are Sri Lankan Western Bands that They do English Songs that most of Popular Songs in the Western Music Scene One of the Band Electric Avenua Sri Lanka Can Watch in the You Tube Enjoy this Video and Be Happy in Sri Lanka Have Nice Days to Come.
Backpacking is living in hostels eating cheap food and using public transportation. Thanks for the video
im sri lankan visit again its beautiful
I wonder if any sci-fi/Arthur C. Clarke fans make pilgrimages to his former home in Sri Lanka?
Thanks
You should check out what happened to Sihanoukville in Cambodia when the chinese built hotels,casinos and other ''cool'' stuff.
I was in sihanoukville a long time ago and I'm actually moving to Cambodia this summer, so I'll be going back to see how it has changed.
@@itchyfeetonthecheap You'll be the only westerner in town.
You live in DONGGUAN cuz I see you in some restaurant in here. Betcha know Dynacity. You Yanks like American foods so I recommend Pals, One for the Road, or some bars. There are some pretty lit bars round here to pick up some chicks ya know
Most of this makes no sense to me. Where is DONGGUAN? What is Dynacity? I'm not American. I think you're confused.
Everythings are there lots of place s are there sigiria beaches botanical garden lots
nice video
You said you hired a car for a trip that took 2 1/2 hours (90 Kilometers) for 35 dollars. And the bus would have cost a fraction of the cost, but that was a really awful comparison for a tourist who in their home country would have paid significantly more for the same journey. As a traveler you have to compare it with what you have back home, if its significantly more than what you would pay back home, then its a scam. For example, If you had taken an Uber for a 2 1/2 hour in the US, it would have cost you at least 75-100 dollars, so 35 dollars is pretty cheap for a private car. You said you went backpacking, but it doesn't look like that to me. There is a huge difference between being a cheap traveler, roughing it as it is with most backpackers (which you didnt do) AND being a cheap/petty person. You are the latter. As a person who has travel to over 50 countries, i don't think i would take any of your recommendations and the only thing i liked about your video is all the people below who provided their input. Ive never been to sri lanka, but have been to other under developed countries and this looks pretty nice in comparison to other places I've been to. Your video just came off as a complaint. I would change your tone on your next video. Take some notes, on how to make a video from this guy next time: th-cam.com/video/epmQYVLvnjU/w-d-xo.html.
35 dollars isn't bad - I think I even said that in the video - but if I compare it to the place I live, it's expensive because I live in China. If you're a big traveler that's been to 50 countries, wouldn't you rather get a comparison to other similar countries? If I just compared it to America, everything would just be really inexpensive in that part of the world.
I watched the video you suggested and I think the guy did a good job making it, but when it comes to transportation he just suggests getting private cars the whole time. Personally, I don't feel like I can say I've experienced a country unless I've rode on the public transit system, taken local buses, etc. Sure, I warn people that they are cramped and hot, but I'm just stating facts. It doesn't mean I'm against them. In the other video, the guy says the same thing I did, but he just avoided them and I rode them to feel what it would be like.
I'm sorry you felt that the video was a complaint. I really loved Sri Lanka.
I like your honesty !
Thanks! A lot of people on here would prefer me to only talk about the positives, but that seems pointless to me.
How is the weather in Colombo/Nuwara Eliya/bentota/Kandy during the month of July ? Thank you
Hot. Not much rain. It cools down in August. The places in the mountains will be a bit cooler.
So it's extremely warm like unbearable !? like 30+ degrees. So it would be wiser to travel in February or September right ? Thanks again
The average is like 28 in July. September would be better for sure.
great video! :) yes of course>Super cheap bus rides !!!! :) I prefer (red)government buses for a fast ride! :)
Elle Taylor 😂😂 thanks
Beautiful forests like willpatthu and sripaadha forest is now cutting down by ministers of srilankan govenment. Most people in srilanka love nature , but not the govenment . They sell valuable nature spots. How can they increases tourism like this.
:(
i want to investment for my new hotel in sri lanka.plz comment
hi man i want to vist sri lanka any advice am very scare
First tip, don't be scared homey. Find an itinerary online and follow it. It will make it easier and you won't have to worry about going to any places that isn't setup for tourists. The tourist areas are all very easy to travel.
Why did you come to Sri Lanka?????
7:51 alchohol is easy to find but expensive because lots of poor families stuggle from alcoholism so it is discouraged. Coffee is hard to find because we are more tea people than coffee. There is good cafes in Colombo outside of Colombo not much. Internet slow,public transportation is crowded and sucks yess cuz we are still developing economy we have our struggles. Please have a smile and enjoy because in 10 years things will.become more expensive. Cheers
Geared more towards backpackers
Don’t expect all facilities in different countries. It depends. If you’re creating a bad picture about a particular country definitely it bad. If you can’t deal with culture weather nature or if you’re disgust so don’t travel. Just stay at home.
Actually tuktuks and pickme are cheap..I mean I go everywhere in them...buses and trains are verrrry cheap..that is because it is a govt service for most part...
Nice

Busses will not charge random charges. There is a tarrif.
I know, but a man at the bus station asked us where we were going and then took us to the bus, sat us down, and asked for the money. He asked for a lot more than what the bus charged, then paid the driver and took the extra cash. He was pretending that he worked for the bus, but I think he was just a man who could speak English and knew he could make some money from
foreign travelers.
Then its not for the bus you paid for! He was ripping you off.
5:45 🧐😶😳🧐😶😳🧐😶😳😶😳🧐
Sorry about your bad experiences in Sri Lanka. Government is not paying enough attention to remove negative effects for tourism. Hope it will be improved.
I didn't have a bad experience. I loved it.
Sri Lanka has a lot more to offer. It is a paradise. This video does not show the breathtaking views of its golden beaches, tea estates etc. And my gosh,, talk about Sri Lankan food.
I came across a scam too. Really upset
Mate us backpackers don't spend $30 a night on hotels!
I live there
Slow internet? Were you trying to access the free WiFi spots at the stations? Since you are looking just for cheap options I wouldn't be surprised! 😂😂😂
Guys tuk drivers over charging you guys make sure to use only PiCK me app
I wish I knew about this app before I went. Thanks for the tip.
I also found the people of Sri Lanka not so honest with tourists. They regard them there for the taking.
