- In this video, we are taking you to a place on the island that will make you wonder 'why don't people visit here in Sri Lanka?' As much as they should at least! A beautiful location called Gal Oya, a low land, dry zone region that is flanked by mountains ripe for hiking and surprisingly lush! The area is home to the first inhabitant Veddah tribes of Sri Lanka that moved from Danigala to Gal Oya during the construction of the Senanayake Samudraya.
It's also the ONLY place in Sri Lanka where you can witness the swimming elephants among other unique wildlife!
Hope you guys enjoy this vlog as much as we did making it.

Hey guys! Welcome to our first vlog of the year! We have missed you guys so much and cant wait to get back on track again! We have some awesome surprises coming your way in the next few weeks so stay tuned and I hope you enjoy this vlog on the amazing place that is, Galoya! ❤❤❤❤
I always watch your video from the moment I thought of Sri Lanka...I'm coming very soon 1st of March if interested for colabos let me know 😊
Welcome back 👍🏿🙏🏽
ගම තමයි ඉතිං thank you 👍❤️
You are an inspiration .. to those Sri Lankans who live outside the country, this videos are something to be proud of our own country.. seeing this , I felt like what a beautiful country we have ...
You just made our day Anuradhapura. Hope more people see this and realize why a beautiful island we have been blessed with!
People around the world who saw this wonderful video image became interested in Sri Lanka, which is in crisis due to financial collapse, corona, and a sharp drop in tourism income. I want to contribute to the economic development of Sri Lanka, which is rich in nature and where people live ! From Japan
Amazing location, adding to my must see list for SL...Love how you highlight your Culture and real beauty of the hidden treasures of Sri Lanka...❤
I have history in Gal Oya. My maternal grandfather worked in the Gal Oya project after his return from Singapore in the early 50s. He was living in Ampara at the time of his death in 1963. (His wife and children were living in Jaffna. He would come home every few weeks to visit them. He was quite a strict man I’m told. I’m sure they didn’t mind him being away 😝). Beautiful place. Your vlog captured the essence of it. I have to put it on my bucket list. Thank you.
වැඩක් කරොත් වෙනසක් ම තමයි නියමයි super cool volg big like
Thank you Lahiru! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Watching from the USA. Excellent video and commentary. Thanks for highlighting the lesser-known tourist sites. All our tours so far have been to the standard places. Are there tour groups that do this kind of thing?
Oh Srilanka! How much I miss you! Will be soon coming to my country....thanks to you I get to see parts of Srilanka I never visited or knew before...
Me too 😢😢
As a Sri Lankan you bring nice videos to the locals and international community. The way you speak is very attractive.The contents in your videos are very interestig and informative.keep up your good work.
Shout out from South Africa. Only started to watch your channel. Loving it. Wish to visit Sri Lanka some day. ❤
This is Sri lanka. this world is beautiful
oh wow Sheneller!! What a beautiful vlog ❤️ I've never been there and I've never met or seen anyone from the Veddah community yet in my life. The thought that this beautiful and ancient community is disappearing because they don't get much help, well that's a pretty sad thing! As an island of people very proud to being Srilankans, we should all be eve proud to have the Veddah community and help them instead of canceling them just because they are not modern enough in this world 😔
Anyway thank you guys to bring to light such things to everyone 💪🏽 Keep up the awesome work as always!
Hello Krishna alias Emeralda of Emerald Island Sri Lanka !! How are you ? It was delight to see you after a long time. I really liked all the places shown by you in this Vlog. You have made this Vlog in such a nice way that : When I was watching your this Vlog , I felt as if I was with you people at those places. When I will visit your Sri Lanka , I will surely visit these places. But I may need a Guide & I will surely pay for that. Are Guides available there ? Many things filmed by Drone are Amazing !! For Drone filming , I have coined a new Word as Dronography !! You liked this Word ?--Narendra, India.
Absolutely enthralling video. I love how you tell us viewers the history of the places you visit.
I've been to SL back in 1996 and it is one place I am determined to go back and visit again as if is sooooooo beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed it! thank you so much for the compliment!
Keep up the good job you are doing!
Oh after long time ago we are hoping to see you shenelle

what a wonderful vlog. It took me into the journey literally. brilliantly presented, Superb editing and very well drafted. Keep going guys.
Another lovely vlog guys , hope SL tourism board starts promoting these places more away from usual popular spots
Hi Shenelle,
So glad to see that you guys are back :) The great work that you, Shehaan, and the crew do to put Sri Lanka into the spotlight is truly inspirational!! As a proud and patriotic Sri Lankan-born expatriate living in the US (for a while now), I've watched almost all of your vlogs with enthusiasm and awe. I miss the country so much, and through your vlogs, I've had an opportunity to experience vicariously, the beauty and grandeur that it offers, and oftentimes, places whose existence I am ashamed to admit that I wasn't even aware of. Thank you for highlighting these hidden gems plus for your untiring efforts to provide the country the kind of exposure that it richly deserves. Keep up the great work! Cheers!
Appreciate your simplicity and cheerfulness that keeps the video live. Inspiring to younger generation to admire things we have and things we are loosing are heritages to the whole world. Good job guys, and all the best to both of you!
Your videos are absolutely on point. Very original. I am originally from Sri Lanka traveling back this week and you have given me so many new ideas! Thank you!
thank you so much for doing this :D I will must go there in future :)
Absolutely Spectacular and wonderful.
Once again high quality content ! Great work akki!
100%
Great video. Seems like a beautiful country rich with history and tradition.
Such a beautiful place, nice sharing. Keep it up.😍❤👍🙏
Brilliant as always ❤️
Beautiful location, thanks for sharing.
Great exploration of some what hidden location. Really a nice place. Thanks for sharing. Given my fullest support. Greetings from Travel China.
Good afternoon Sheneller and the team,
Simply it is so lovely to see you with so much enthusiasm promoting my motherland and its culture. You and the team are doing a fantastic job, where, I find that I am with you all as you narrate. Thank you for enabling me to relive my childhood memories......... well, that was many moons ago.
Superbly juxtaposed full sentences supporting fabulous scenery are second to none.
It is lovely to see you and the team are moving from one unique location to another exposing SL authentic cultural traits.
All Sri Lankans must protect this country, its wildlife, and its habitats.
Thumbs up and I have subscribed. Hopefully one day I might come and see you all there.
Take great care & be safe
Great! Let's hope that when all lockdowns are over a few will be able to experience all this. our environment needs needs careful and intelligent preservation.
❤after long time perfect explanation and best vidio editing much love
Thank you for watching!!
Love the Gal Oya location
Love it love it love it
Splendid....
Woow . That’s a beautiful location . It looks very peaceful and serene . Thanks for taking us there ❤️
It’s one of our most favourite spots on the island!
Thank you shenneller for this beautiful sharing and of cause as well as man behind the camera for capturing these amazing moments. This would be in our bucket list for the next visit to SL. Keep sharing ❤️✌️
Thank you so much!! So happy to hear that!
Hi Shenelle, thank you so much for this wonderful video! Your video inspires not just non-Sri Lankans, but also us Sri Lankans who live in or outside of the country to explore Gal Oya. Would love to see a video on how to make use of a vegan lifestyle while travelling or even living in Sri Lanka as this will include anyone (both Sri Lankans and non-Sri Lankans) who is vegan and wants to explore Sri Lanka and its nine provinces!🇱🇰
Wow beautiful srilanka
Missed u ..... especially visuals of camera man 📷 another visual treat 😍
Thanks a lot!! Lots of awesomeness to follow!
Ampara ❤️😍
People dont go to see Gal Oya Elephants because they are the most aggressive elephants in Sri Lanka. Gal Oya elephants seems to be like a different breed of Sri Lankan elephants. Also the area is more of forest than planes. So its more harder to spot elephants. Most People go to Minneriya and Udawalawa to see Elephants. 'The Gathering' Largest Wild Asian Elephant gathering Happens at Minneriya.
Its nice to see you again. Sri Lanka is a national treasure. Do you like India as well? I do like India just as much as Sri Lanka.
Great video guys, I think your channel should be featured to promote tourism here. Keep up the good work :)
Beautiful nature you captured, please upload more videos
Coming soon!
Awesome 👌
really appreciated!!
Thank you! 🙏🏼
What a fluent english presentation so pleasent to hear rather just only watching video so informative so proud of you as a sri lankan great way to bring our countrtries nature treasures towards the international comunity god bless you and keep it up further more great videos really expecting from you specially horton plain.thats my personal request.thanks
Hey Indika, thank you so much for the lovely comment. We've already made one on the horton plains. Hope you do check it out.
Very informative Vlog. So eloquently spoken. Maybe talk about pricing as well. Perhaps use a bit of lighting when interviewing, if I may suggest. Overall two thumbs up!
OMG you are 🤗🤗🤗❤️ 👌👌 rocking 🤘🤘🤘
I used to have a really old anthropology book that was about every ethnic group of india and sri lanka with photos very interesting. British were obsessed with hair type nose shape skin colour eyes ect and documented many tribes over 100 yrs ago. Not anything if culture and customs though that us the really interesting and enlightening part.
Bueatiful places
Thank You very much. Omg I didn’t know anything about this place. I must go.
You’re welcome 😊 Do check out the rest of our channel for more hidden Gems

Thanks a lot thamali! It really is a spectacular place!
Wow👍👍👍👌
Thanks Shehan and Sheneller for this beautiful travel video. I'm Gamini from Galgamuwa and never forget to watch these travel episodes uploaded on your CZcams channel.. They're providing us a better guidance. Actually, there are many more interesting places located off the beaten track in the island to visit and this (Gal oya area) is one of them. As a travel writer for 'Daily News' I am also interested in visiting these places and write about them. After watching this video, really I too feel like visiting the places mentioned here. I must say that as always Sheneller's description of each of these places is fantastic. I look forward to watching your next episode.. Thanks again, guys.. Keep it up..
wow
camera work is nice
It’s our hometown
Ever thought of joining wadda community? You would make a very pretty kekuli 😜
Hahah we would both fit right in 😄
@@ShenellerMost Probably 😄
Good
have you ever tried to go Rekawa
Promoting Srilanka like this is a big thing especially in this covid situation.
I will compare Sri Lanka to Rwanda, is very similar. By the way, you are beautiful 2.
