I thought Sri Lanka is similar to India. No I am wrong. Sri lanka is far better than India.
matt prior yes bro its completely the opposite
@@heshansandeepa5188 India is also blessed with same kind of mountain range . In my hometown konkan valley. In kerala in Tamil nadu also lots of areas which are greenee than Switzerland but no Western media shows that that's why u hardly know how beautiful India is
Sri Lanka is very much different to India.. but it doesn’t mean India is not beautiful but Sri Lanka has its own beautify and you can entertain wide differences within very short travel
Srilanka is similar to south india you hv seen north india in buggeters series but south india is like srilanka
th-cam.com/video/LIBj3WC-9xo/w-d-xo.html those Who think India doesn't have nature like sri lanka watch this video. U guys are brainwashed about India. India is not just about cities .
I’ve been to Sri Lanka previous summer, but this is so fun to watch because I recognise alot of places😁
so cool! yeah its always nice to watch a video and thinkg I WAS THERE TOO! hahaha . we loved it!!!
This is a hidden gem in Sri Lanka. Not a lot of tourist visit this place.
yes!! we loved it! so lucky to have had the chance to go
Oh.. what is the name of that waterfall?
@@navindias7108 I think its sera ella
@@TenTenLion yes sera ella
Sri Lanka has a lot of beautiful landscape to offer.Definitely visiting Knuckles.
yes its very much worth it!
google for 'knuckles duwili ella' and 'dumbara ella'. These falls are the most famous treks in knuckles
I visited Chennai and Mumbai sometime back but damn Sri Lanka is nothing like that I guess....absolutely stunning with greenery and natural beauty
Thanks 🙏
Amazing country! I'm loving this series!!
thank you so much diogo! xx
Y'all are doing such a beautiful job at capturing the beauty of SL! The doggy totally stole the show! 🐕🐕

@@sheannefrancine4957 😱 sheeen whaa ..how did .. 😂 oh well you were the one who introduced me to @The Budgeteers
I loved this episode! Definitely my favourite from the Sri Lanka series! 😀

Sri Lanka is worth visiting for westerners and non-tropical country people as it is one of cheapest. Love from India.

Hi guys I love these vids I was 24 when I lived and travelled in Sri Lanka for 3 months way back in 1981 it was like living in paradise thanks so much for bringing back so many cherished memories keep up the great work .. Cheers . Love from Australia !
Glad you are enjoying this series! see ya next week!
guys this is the best journey i have seen so far a foreigner made in srilanka.most people dont go into these mountain ranges.. u guys did an awesome job.i wish aravinda starts an eco tourism guiding tour he is doing very well on explaining stuff
thank you so much! we've linked aravinda's info in the description!!!
The tuk tuk honestly looks so fun! You guys are brave for driving it round Sri Lanka the traffic looks crazy at some points😂 I’d be terrified!
hahaha it was crazy but sooooo fun! xx
Loved the episode, thanks for showing a part of Sri Lanka that's not as popular to visit! I loved seeing the pot plant hanging from the tuk tuk, so funny! Looking forward to seeing what you think of Kandy!
yeah the Kandy ep is AMAZING... see ya next week!
Haha, I was thinking the same thing about the pot plant
Please come visit sri lanka again.. #bestvloggersintheworld ❤
ahahahaha maybe one day!
30 mins of treats! Amazing video!! Your really making me want to plan Sri Lanka, especially to see that view at Knuckles Mountain!
You are welcome 🙏
His name Aravinda
Your pronunciation : our window 😂😂😂😂
Haha sorry
I'll be transparent that I was a skeptic when I saw Sri Lanka was next after India for the series but, this episode made me eat my words. Please come back to Cali/Mex!
hahahahah thank you!!!!!!!
Benjamin Carpenter Thank god they didn’t travel south India. It looks exactly like srilanka.
No place looks similar in the world.. really sad how indians try to say sri Lanka looks like somewhere from there country..each place is unique and beautiful
like Swiss alps only with egzotic animals....Hallo from a new subscriber
haha yeah you are kinda spot on there :)
Well I guess you haven't to the Swiss alps yet
2 favourite quotes.... "adventure makes you hungry" and "no I woke up coz I needed a wee" Paddy you are hilarious!! ;-)
get back to editing you little nightmare ;) paddy xox
Best episode so far!! I loved every second of it! You're awesome.
thank you so much elena!
Never disappointing. Lina's monologue 🤣🤣. This place is gorgeous
Knuckles is beautiful. Lets hopr they preserve the nature there 😊
mary tapia hi I'm Sri Lankan
Loved the video guys! My favorite so far! I’m definitely adding the Knuckles to my Bucket List. 🙌🏻
Katharina Hüneburg yes. It’s a hidden treasure ❤️🤘🏽
Katharina Hüneburg hi from Sri Lanka
Looks like it's well worth a visit
So you guys didn't camp at the waterfall.. What a shame. Could have a great time there. Specially when you woke up on the first light and take a quick morning swim... Btw it's called sera ella waterfall. And also don't miss babarakiri ella waterfall on your way down.
thanks for the tips! next time ;)
Hello Budgeteers thanks for weekly Dosage of travel drug.
any time xx
Knuckles range was beautiful, nice episode can’t wait to see kandy and rest of your
Thanks :)
I live in South Africa and wild buffalo are considered fairly dangerous (esp the bulls). I was a bit worried for you guys. 😅 Is it not the same for the Sri Lankan buffalo I’m assuming?
No my friend. They are friendly in here
Best intro song on TH-cam! Please never change it. It makes me so happy!
yah! :)
I like your comparison of Knuckles ranges to Swiss Alps in summer, advantage is, in Sri Lanka, it is always summer
Haha yes that right! And beaches are not far away 😉👍
The doggo stole the show though 💜
He stole our hearts as well 😄💜
A cute dog.
Yeah, No one should never ever try to disrespect Lord Buddha if wants to stay in this land...Other than that we love you every way we can.
yess x
the budgeteers enter the Guiness Book of WOrld Records for being the first youtubers to call sri lankan weather "absolutely freezing" :-) about 16:31
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA
Definitely the best video so far. Loving what ur doing and very inspiring. Hope u get more subscribers 🙃
Wow ! - Thanks :)

Hi guys thanks again for this lovely video... thanks for showing those amazing places to the world.. even local Sri Lankan people we have not visited to some of these hidden beautiful places and seeing them through your videos... it’s funny that dog 🐕 is very friendly and accompanied you all the way your trial.. your videos are very real and I feel like I am going with you... 👍👍👍
Thanks :)
This was beautifully told! This is exactly the kind of video that I think will get people travelling. It isn't preachy, and it shows how much fun you three are having out there! Other people will figure out how to make it happen on their own. Awesome work, guys!
Thanks so much. Yes we fully agree. Every person can travel the way they want to, and have fun their own way... We just wanna show that you dont need much money to start with 😉👍
Hey, SriLankan here! I was looking for some information for a school project and stumbled upon your video. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit and hope to see you again soon!
Thank you. Yes we love Sri Lanka. We recommend it to everyone we meet 😊
@@TheBudgeteers thats so nice of y'all! I hope you guys are doing good! As a traditional SriLankan i would like to say Ayubowan!
Thank you guys for showcasing the beauty of the Knuckles range. Also please aware others to protect the nature.
Exactly love and respect the fragile nature there 💜
I’m impressed with the three of you squeezing into the back of the TukTuk!
tight squeeze indeed! ask my balls! hahaha
Lina's narration of Sri Lankan television show is hilarious!!! Seems like people that have fewer resources in life share the most. The drones scenes from the mountains are absolutely priceless.
Awe poor you guys, thinking 5 am is really really early :D
Haha have fun!
the rice fields and waterfall looks a lot like Bali! Sri Lanka is really underrated travel destination.
Wellcome to my mothereland ...👌🌹❤❤💪🙏....
Amazing tok tok driving 🚗🙊🙊💣🌹👌
Enjoy your 👣 🚜 traveling ....

That’s why this land has been mighty king ravanas kingdom proud to be a srilankan keep up the amazing work budgetseers 😍🇱🇰🙏👍🏻 may the triple gem bless you guys

@@TheBudgeteers ah that's sad. Then next time ;)
I shit you not, I was just thinking how wonderful that you haven't been inundated with spiders! No sooner had I completed that thought.......then 🕷🕷🕸🕸 happened! Haha....mommy......!! Thanks guys, another terrific vlog!
hahahaha! Thanks :)
I have mixed feelings on vloggers. On the one hand, I enjoy watching the videos, & their exposure boosts tourism. OTOH, paradoxically, they also contribute to the dismay experienced at 10:44 -- vlogs & Instagram are f***ing up once-pristine destinations with mass-tourism.
Interesting point
That was a super helpful dog! 🐶
he was the best!
better watch ur back while viewing over the edge too, u dont want a momma water buffalo charging u unawares in that position!
Omg we would be soo dead 😂😮
I.love leena, she is very natural sometimes childish sometimes little lazy overall a very cute buddy
haha Thanks :)
21:25, introducing the all new FarCry 6 gameplay!
Hahaha it does have something of Farcry he 😂
Might want to update your Union Flag in the intro.
sri lanka has everything but guys you must plan it very well and there is so many beautiful amazing place in google doesn't show 😂
Hahaha yes indeed, a lot of places google does not know about uet 😜
You can rent tutuk in south india too!
That fruit is medicinal Indian amla very good, rich in vitamin c but an acquired taste
Aha very healthy, good to know. Yes it needs some getting used to 😊
wow its amazing 😀😀 we should protect this places 👍💖💖
absolutely :)
Favorite local dish that ive tried is in Genova (north Italy)...Focaccia col formaggio. Definitely try if you are in the area.
sounds amazing!
Beautifull guys! Thank you so much visiting Sri Lanka... Blessings :)
Budgeteers as always with great videos, is just Amazing how far you can travel on a tuk tuk. how much petro can that tuk tuk take from one city to the next? Lina Mamacita always so stunning to look at =) Cheers Mates
Cheers Hector, the tuktuk would give us about 75km range per tank in the mountain areas, and about 150km on the flat lands
I left Sri Lanka 34 years ago. You guys are making me homesick...
Sorry 💜
I cannot wait to go here. Thanks 🙏🏼 so glad the videos are up again
Woww this place is so beautiful. My next trip is to knuckle forest.
Enjoy! Its beautiful but take care of the nature please 😊🙏💜
The Budgeteers yes❤️
Be safe during this pandemic, Im anxious for season 5...miss you all...be safe.
Do you guys ever worry about mosquito born illnesses? Do you use repellent or have you had immunization shots?
We worry about mosquito illnesses yes, but instead of only spraying. We research the areas we go to and see how big the risks are. Check for malaria and dengue.
No malaria.
I hope you guys said good bye to the doggy. He/ She liked you guys.
We did! :) haha
Thanks for coming to my mother land we respect foreigners greatly.we have been taught in our schools to respect others
as are we :)
@ 23.28.I almost fell of my chair, seeing her sitting there on that rock on that height, I could never do that.
Hahaha yup 😫😫😫
Would love to see an episode dedicated to the reactions of other tuk tuk drivers when they see Lina driving. It is such a male territory I can only imagine the faces when they see Lina at the wheel. Happy travels.
Hahaha yeah thats so true. What a good idea 😁
Aren't there some pink tuk tuks with lady drivers, admittedly few, in some part(s) of the island?
True Belief no
@@dharas9866 Apparently they are already in operation in the southern province. I just googled "pink tuk tuks of Sri Lanka " , & there is an aljazeera article on it from March, with a picture of 9 ladies standing next to 9 pink tuk tuks.
True Belief super I will definitely check them out the next time I visit.
this is My favorite youtube channel
Thank you, that means a lot to us😀🙏💜
Thanks for another video 😁👍
thanks for watching! enjoy!
You guys should have rented a jeep 4×4 to drive into the mountains.
but we have Zeta! haha
budget travel
Wow. What a beautiful place where you stayed at night. Was luck enough to be born in the country but was not luck enough to see Knuckles mountain range. Look so beautiful. It's really a hidden gem.
Thank you for making nice video about my country!
Thanks for watching 💜
Hi Guys, tanks for the video. Could you please tell me the location of the waterfall/movie scene ? Many thanks in advance. Cheers
You guys should share more of footage where you have conversations with the locals. It shows more authentic hospitality of the people. Keep up the good work guys. Safe journey.
thank you for the feedback! we will definitely keep that in mind. xx
Great video ❤️ thanks for sharing..!!
Thanks for watching 💜
I really can't get enough of this, seriously!
