Each and every traveller who visited Sri Lanka over the difficult time had very positive experiences ...thank you for promoting about this wonderful country. You are helping local communities to get back into their lives..
Hii Lucy! How was your memorial weekend? ❤️ But yes you have to, so many different places to choose from! Which place was your favorite of all the ones I included?
@Camilla Johannesen I think malabar hill I first saw it on your instastory and I was like 🤩, my weekend was not good I had food poisoning but am doing great now😃
Thank you so much, guys! I'm so impressed with how well your channel is doing!!! Your content is getting so good! Can you believe it was not that long ago we met, and you wanted to get started? Now look at you guys, this is only the beginning! 🤩
Had the great pleasure to stay at three Uga Escapes locations and got to experience so much of Sri Lanka. Uga is not budget but was so good with amazing staff, food and accommodations at all three plus we had our own driver for the whole stay, which I would highly recommend because they do drive kind of crazy there.
We stayed at Swiss Residence in Kandy, and I have mixed feelings about it. I fondly remember sitting on our balcony at about 3am talking to my family in the US and listening to the amazing nighttime sounds from high above Kandy. I had early morning swims, they opened the pool just for me, and it was so cool and energizing. We really enjoyed our breakfasts there for some reason. One night there was this amazing tour guide with so much energy that got all the Russian tourists up and dancing with him in a conga line... it was very entertaining. We probably will not return to the hotel because the bathroom areas just felt very dingy and the hotel was a little dated an unexciting. The price was perfectly acceptable.
i Want to recommend you to stay in A'lankaa Resort and Spa in Haldumulla I think its on UVA Province in SriLanka, i was staying there, they have such a magical forest vista whenever you woke up and open the balcony hahaha, unforgetable experience for me :)
You need visit places like Trinco, A bay, Passikudah, Jaffna by train if you can, Chilaw and Anuradhapura for the bodhi tree and temples. Safe travels.
Hello there what would you recommend for the best vibe coastal town for about two or three days. We are unlimited time I'm traveling with my dad, we want the traveler backpacker Nomad type of scene and good vibe around... Weligama? Mirissa? Unawatuna? Galle? We probably can't do more than one of those....
This is a good perspective from a person who is not a local and not familiar with any of the cities and towns visited. Just as an example, in Kandy, I would probably never stay at Swiss Residence. If my goal is luxury I will stay at a true full service resort in the hills with a pano view. If my goal is budget I will choose the Queen Anne (maybe $40) or the Old Empire ($15) which are smack on the lake, facing the temple and right in the heart of all the things to do and see in the town. Old Empire still serves up a good American and Sri Lankan breakfast for the lowest prices in town even for non-guests. After a long day of exploring the markets, churches and mosques, it's so nice to be able to walk to your hotel rather than rely on a taxi. From the Queen Anne Hotel you can also get a balcony so that you can watch the street life at night with a glass of wine or with your morning coffee. Videos like this are a reminder that there will never be substitutes for people like Rick Steves who are truly Travel Experts in a specific area. Saying that you stayed in a particular hotel and that it was okay is not quite the same as giving a recommendation and being able to accurately compare it to other options right in the area.
The number of hotels ranging from the small home stays to the 6 star hotels is mind blowing. When you look at the places to stay on google maps you see a sea of red dots of places to stay!
Now there is power. Tourism is booming. Few months ago there was concerns in shortage of power and supplies. But with this New Government. It's all back to normal ✌🏻
Hey Cindi, thanks so much for watching this episode! Are you headed to Ella? The price varies from the season, when we were there, we paid around $34 per night. I think Agoda.com always has the best prices!
Thank you very much for visiting Sri Lanka We are doing an analysis for foreigners coming to Sri Lanka Create an app to make their work easier From the moment you arrive in Sri Lanka, you will be able to get the services you need through this app I would like to know your opinion about this app🤗🤗
This all looks so beautiful but keep hearing the Sri Lanka has completely collapsed. Could you please enlighten me on the situation, free from media influence. Just purely independent reports. Thankyou🙏
Hey Rachel! Thank you so much for watching this episode. Sri Lanka is truly beautiful and such a paradise. They have everything, the beaches, mountains and really good people. Your questions is completely valid. So the first episode I made in this Sri Lanka Travel series was about the situation in the country, like is it safe to go, etc etc. I will link the episode here so you can watch it. th-cam.com/video/T77FSk9187E/w-d-xo.html But in short, it's safe to go there still. As a tourist you wont be effected that much. It depends what hotels you are staying in etc, if they have a generator for power-cuts or not. Have a good phone plan so you can. have wifi at all times, it's pretty cheap. And at the end of the day, the best you can do for the Sri Lankan people is to visit, put your money in family run businesses, support the local economy. They are the nicest people we have met. You should also check out this girl called Sheneller on TH-cam, she is a Sri Lankan TH-camr, who talks about the situation too, and how the media are trying to call all the protest violent when they are actual peaceful protester. I hope that helped!
Yes, that is why I made this intro episode for this travel series, explaining what is going on in Sri Lanka right now, th-cam.com/video/T77FSk9187E/w-d-xo.html . If you read the comments from the locals and listen to what we are saying, all the locals were telling us to come to Sri Lanka. At the end of the day, supporting local businesses is one of the best things you can do for the local economy right now. Even local TH-camrs like Sheneller are telling people to come to Sri Lanka now.
you better not to believe mass media like CNN BBC. yes bankrupt people are suffering they riot against the government not with the foreigners. it's lot cheaper for foreigners to travel Sri Lanka now because of exchange rates, not good for locals though, but if foreigners travel here spend their currency like dollars it will help the locals too.
Inspired me - booked for christmas for our family of 5 🇱🇰🇬🇧

What month was you traveling?
Hey Diana! We were there in March. Are you headed there soon?
Are you serious right now? Are you aware whats going on in Sri Lanka at this time?
Yes, that is why I made this intro episode for this travel series, explaining what is going on in Sri Lanka right now, th-cam.com/video/T77FSk9187E/w-d-xo.html .

to stay? sri lanka declared bankrupt not long ago and having riot everyday
you better not to believe mass media like CNN BBC. yes bankrupt people are suffering they riot against the government not with the foreigners. it's lot cheaper for foreigners to travel Sri Lanka now because of exchange rates, not good for locals though, but if foreigners travel here spend their currency like dollars it will help the locals too.
It's just peaceful protests, riots were held 1 month ago.
International media(especially Wion of India) is reporting weeks old news.
Then I may be living in another country😂
