Hello, we are planning to visit Ella this month but only for 2 nights.. wanna visit 9 arches bridge and Ella rock.. what’s you thoughts please suggest. Thanks 🙂
Thank you 🙏 I always enjoy the chance to trek somewhere new. 😊 The trekking videos don't seem to be so popular but I enjoy making them so they will always feature occasionally. 😁
Absolutely stunning views, you are so fit Lee. Glad you paid for the view. Do you keep a list of how you have used your buy me a coffee money? That would be so interesting to see.
Thanks, Julie. I'm glad I paid for the view as well. The old me wouldn't have. It's nice we can use the BMAC money for experiences we wouldn't have otherwise done and share it with our viewers. We try to keep a spreadsheet but are a bit slack. 😬 Have a wonderful weekend ❤️
Thank you for making my day and travelling with you. At time went to Sri around 12 yrs ago was on a more luxury private tour but declined ascending as wouldnt have made it.. but views spectacular as was everything in Sri. I went for animal and bird sightings especially.. another planet....❤
❤❤ nice video, thanks you for coming over county, 🎉🎉🎉 As a Sri Lankan, I did not know that it costs 900 rupees for foreigners to visit. I am happy that thousands of tourists are visiting our country, they are happy to see the places, In fact, you can be happy if the money you pay is used in the tourism industry. Or the Sri Lankan people can be happy if it works. But that's not what happens. The scumbag politicians are stealing all that money. Actually, taking 900 at the last moment is like winning a marathon and going to drink water after being tired. A man says "If you want water, give 900". Such a big dog job, That is the situation in Sri Lanka. There are thousands of places for tourists to visit. Foreigners cannot show them properly. If those places are managed properly, foreigners will stay in Sri Lanka for years and visit those places. Any place that has become world famous for tourists is not the place that the rulers worked hard to make famous. They are places visited by tourists for a long time. Otherwise, these are not places created by crooked politicians for tourists. First among Sri Lankan people, secondly among Sri Lankan mountaineers, thirdly among Sri Lankan tourists and lastly among foreign tourists. Later, politicians steal money by using that fame. The Sri Lankan politician has not done anything to develop the tourism industry so far. They only know how to steal money from a place that has been famous for a long time In fact there are thousands of places in Sri Lanka to show travelers like you. Fortunately, those places have not fallen to these thieves. Because they are not world famous. But we are aware of such unfair charges, but there is nothing we can or should do. Rogue politicians are always doing nothing but destroying this country. I am happy that thousands of tourists come to our country, they are happy to see those places, but I and the common people of my country are saddened that foreign tourists like you are in trouble because of this kind of dirty theft, actually as a Sri Lankan I watched your video Eagerly, but I felt very ashamed when I took that 900 rupees, I apologize to you on behalf of the common people of Sri Lanka, I really feel very ashamed. That's how money is taken from places discovered by tourists without doing anything for tourists,Especially for the Sri Lankan tourism industry, That is the system of Sri Lankan politicians and Sri Lankan government employees,Fraudulent and dirty politics and Government agencies You understand that there are more than enough resources in this country for development,However, people in this country are looking for jobs abroad, It's because of these scumbag politicians The common people of our Sri Lanka are very disappointed about such things happening to foreign tourists,There is nothing we can do,❤❤
Thank you for taking such time to write this information. 🙏. We totally understand that it is a political decision to take these high fees from tourists and then not to do anything with the money. It is an easy tax for them. It's sad because I think the common people from Sri Lanka will all benefit if many tourists come. It will help the local economies at all levels. But it will put tourists off coming if they feel they are being exploited by these government fees. 😌 We wanted to visit many religious historic places but were put off going by the high foreigner fees. Instead we decided to focus on everyday life in Sri Lanka and to enjoy it's best asset, the lovely people of the country. ❤️ So instead of going to these sites we spent our money in local shops, markets and hotels making sure our money went straight into the hands of the people. 🙏 We had a fantastic time in Sri Lanka and we want to return and for sure we'll be recommending it to everyone else. 🙏❤️🇱🇰
@@FrugalTravellers thank you very much for your answer, You are right, when you go to Ordinary people in the countryside and spend your money, that money goes to those Ordinary people, I appreciate that.

@@FrugalTravellers thank you very much for your answer,
You are right, when you go to Ordinary people in the countryside and spend your money, that money goes to those Ordinary people,
I appreciate that.
are you ever afraid of snakes or lions?
Snakes don't bother me as they are more scared of us than we are of them. Lions on the other hand petrify me as they can rip you to pieces. 😳
@@FrugalTravellers do you think these animals would be on the Ella trail
@@brittanysapology9528 I didn't see any on this trail.
its ok to charge 100 rs . 900 is too much .
Yes, I think so too. 🙏
What some crap to pay for the view :-(
Yes, I was 1 month too late. 😌
