    While traveling the country for more than 2 weeks I discovered a new side of the island almost every day. I have been in Sri Lanka for a video production and got to see and experience a lot in a comparably short amount of time.
    Accompanied by local guides and wildlife experts I visited several places all over the country: from Colombo through the center to the north-east, afterwards I flew back and went to the south coast and continued to Yala as well as the highlands in Kandy. The following Places to visit in Sri Lanka are my personal top picks!
    Things to do in Sri Lanka covered in this video:
    - Sigiriya, the lions rock
    - Yala National Park
    - Pigeon Island, Trincomalee
    - Kaudulla Nationa Park
    - Nuwara Eliya

    • @WikumWijesinghe
      @WikumWijesinghe Před 7 lety

      Depends on the places you hope to visit and hotels you stay,It can be either 100$ a day(fairly good services with all expenses) or 300$ a day(more luxurious) If you're on budget,Use local transport and stay at normal hotels,100$ is more than enough for a day.

    • @WikumWijesinghe
      @WikumWijesinghe Před 7 lety

      Even you can manage with 50$ per day,if you use local transport(busses,tuk tuks and trains) with normal hotels.

    It is more or less like India. Nothing unique to be seen. What is the niche of country which is not available than any other??? What is the pulling factor for tourists to visit Sri Lanka??? We cannot go to any other country to see the Vellore Golden temple or Thirupathi, the world riches temple or Taj Mahal. If we want to Eiffel Tower, we have to go to Paris, Buckingham palace is only in England, Great Wall of China is only in Beijing, the highest Murugan statue and Tallest Twin Tower is only in Malaysia, Colleseum in Rome.

    Karma is a booming now running 🏃‍♂️ . The king kills at once, God delays and kills. Mullivaggal 2009 tamil genocied . 40,000 to 70,000 civilians killed over five months of the final conflagration, the number the UN now accepts! Black July 24 July 1983, anti-Tamil rioting started in the capital city of Colombo and then spread to other parts of the country. Over seven days, mainly Sinhalese mobs attacked, burned, looted, and killed Tamil civilians. Estimates of the death toll range between 400 and 3,000, and 150,000 people became homeless. Raciam didn’t win now and future. Karma very powerful. Now 2022 June economic crisis time, The native place of worship of Tamils located in the Thannimurippu area, has become a site of dispute after Sinhala Buddhists occupied it from Tamil Hindu worshippers. The temple is of historical significance for the Tamil people, but like many ancient monuments in the Tamil homeland has been subject to attack from Sinhala Buddist colonisation.Since Rajapaksa has come to power, he has appointed a Presidential Task Force for “Archaeological Heritage Management in the Eastern Province”. This task force, comprised entirely of Sinhala council, has been criticised as a means of pursuing “state-sponsored Sinhala colonisation”. It has further been supported by extremist monks such as Panamure Thilakawansha who is placed to “identify and safeguard Sinhala-Buddhist 'historical sites', at the expense of Tamil or Muslim sites.”Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
    Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil. Sinhalese and monks they didn’t flowing buddha quotes. Only acting . Raciam Sinhalese didn’t win now and future never never 👎🏽 winning. I pray for god’s more more destroyed in Sri Lanka because tamil peoples curse…
