Apart from a Sri Lanka travel details, what I like was your presentation. The way you presented yourself - a smile, kind words & cute looks. Keep it up.
OMG, thankss so kind! Feels like finally my video is reaching the right kind of people 🥹❤️
@@piyushatanwaniThere are probably 4 types of rooms or packages. The lowest cost is 55K? Is there any other way to go to Sri Lanka other than by plane and cruise ship? I am watching from Bangladesh, expressing my desire to go to Sri Lanka.
Thanks a lot sister promoting our beautiful country sri lanka 🇱🇰 ❤...! Wish you all the best for your CZcams career..!
Thank you so much! i love your country and will be coming again and covering rest of it!! :)
That's really informative! Thanks for the tips!
Haha thank youuu so much! 😬
Sri Lanka is an all-year-round destination.
November to April is the time most European and North American travellers visit, so during that period, the accommodation rates are relatively high.
Sri Lanka has everything to offer except snow.
Great Info!!! Already on my mind. Hopefully next year!! 😉
Manifesting that for you!! ☺️☺️
Thanks piyusha for providing the valuable information. People like you are really mean a world to us..😇
I’m glad it helps. Sri Lanka is my fav and we need more people to experience its beauty!!!! 😍

Very good video. The details and accuracy is spit on.
You may have missed a few must see places, I am sure you will visit SL some time soon. The Elephant ophanage, Jaffna to the North, Trincomalee, Arugambay, Pasikuda and Baticaloa in the Eeast coast and Mannar in the North West are some places you can visit in the future. Good luck to you.
Thanks for the tips! Next time :))

Subscribed.
OMG, thanks so much, glad you liked it 🥹
@@piyushatanwani Yes it was a wholesome video 😊
If I may ask, you didn't mention any bike rentals. wondering if that is possible or not in Sri Lanka🤔
So I saw it in places like Weligama but not everywhere, hoping you can find if you ask the hotel people.
Hi Piyusha! We are going to Sri Lanka in November for 12 days. We will stay in Mirissa but also we plan on spending a night in Ella and in Sigiryia. Do you think its gonna be too expensive to cover the route from Mirissa to Ella and Sigiryia and back?
Very informative! Thanks for visiting Sri Lanka 🙏🙏❤️🇱🇰🤝🇮🇳
I have seen a lot of travel videos by indian vloggers but your video was really well put together. The facts are put in way which is easy to relate to and your presentation is also very pleasant. Loved the fact that you were presenting everything with such a heart warming smile. I am going to check out the other videos in sri Lanka series😊 thanks for such a helpful video.
Glad you liked it! So nice of you to tell me all this. Please subscribe to the channel if you wish you support me :)

Lovely Vlog
Thanks for sharing
😃😀 thank you
Thank you dear it's beautiful video lots of respect God bless you love from 🇱🇰🙏
So nice of you, thank you!! :)
Hi Piyusha,
This video is really helpful, thanks for making one. We group of friends are planning to go to Sri Lanka in June, just wanted to ask if its a suitable time or will be in raining a lot? we googled it but got mix response hence thought will ask you. Hope you reply to it. Thanks and all the best
Hey! So South and West SL will have the rainy season from May to Sept. so if you’re going then, you should go to North and East.
Thanks for the itinerary. I am thinking of going in Nov . I was confused about it. I was planning to start from colombo but your itinerary makes a lot more sense . Hopefully it will be a good trip . Can you also name the hotels you stayed in other places except colombo
Hi I have mentioned some of them (at 06:45 ) those were nice in terms of views etc, not exactly location, so if you’ll have your own vehicle only then book them.
If you want for any other place let me know :)
No words to thank u dear sis😘😘😘
No need to thank me at all, my pleasure!! 🙂
Hi Piyusha,
Thank you for the video as it was very helpful.
I am planning a trip in the month of october and just want to know which currency needs to be exchanged and can be converted in Sri Lankan rupees. For most of the sites, they are saying convert INR To USD and then USD to Sri Lankan Rupees.
Appreciate your advise on the same.
Heyy! Yes so convert to USD, that’s the best thing for most South Asian countries. In Sri Lanka most hotels would have exchange facility or accept dollars, drivers accept dollars too.
Glad you found the video helpful!! 😀😀
Thank you Piyu for everything. Yes Horton plains & Sigiriya are must visit places. Might be a good reason to come back😊and the power cuts are gone now.(of course the government increased the electricity bill). Sending love from Sri Lanka ❤
I knoww, we missed them both the times. I’m coming there again this week but only for surfing :) but the 4th time will have them in our itinerary for sure!
Thank you guys for making us feel welcome every time ❤️
@@piyushatanwani perfect, you are always welcome 🙏
@@sankaumayanga8615 We are planning to work & stay for a month, what two places could we stay in as our base towns for two weeks each. Places which have an evening scene and close enough to tourist spots to cover on weekends.

Thank you so much! Very kind :)
Thank u..this is so beautiful and informative ... 💛💛💛
You are so welcome!! 😀🥲🥲
The Video is great in terms of the information and the presentation. Loved the way you present all the information. I wanted to try scuba diving in unawatuna or anywhere really . Would you recommend a trip especially for a scuba dive ?! And secondly I have only 3 days . Can you help me here?!
Thank you so much for the information. need one clarification do we need to carry dollars or srilankan rupees which is better one please suggest.
Happy that you found it useful. Yes take USD there and exchange of LKR (a bit from the airport but most of it from any place near your hotel).
Very nice vlog .. Thanks for so much of information, can you tell me where you have booked the hotels and from which travel agent or through which providers ?
Hey hey, we did not go thru any agents, I booked thru booking.com. Just look for high rated properties that satisfy your needs. You’ll find something in each budget.
Thank you for visit Us !
I never visit some plays even i stayed in sri lanka, great explanation
Thank you so much!! ☺️☺️
wow !!!!!!!! from canada
Hi Piyusha,
Good work , nicely edited too.
What’s the average spend for the total 12day’s journey for 2.

Thankss, glad you liked the video :)

Thank you so much 😊
Hi Piyusha we are planning by second week of june.Just worried about rains.Do you advice ? And if yes which places
Yes north and east don’t see rains right now. So you can travel to only those areas. West coast isn’t worth it in rains
Like it. Thank you
Glad you like it :)

You must, it’s beautiful!! :)
Hey! Your video was very brief and informative.. thankyou.. Can u share with me a 5 days itinerary for Srilanka.
Hii! Thanks :) if you’re interested in both mountains and beaches, Colombo to Nuwara Eliya (2 days here), then to Mirissa (3 days here but in between a day trip to Galle).
Overall 5 days are too less, I wouldn’t advise less than 2 days anywhere. These 2 places will give you a good flavour
Thank you very much
Welcome :)
Iam cover colmbo to sankari davi tample 3night 4deys ,,,rs(India) and visa policy
month of July is good to visit srilanka?? how about the Weather???
Hey, the south and west coast will have rainy season now, you can visit north and east, that’s very nice too. Central parts are good throughout the year.
Kindly share video of Europe Tour.. I have planning for January’24. I need tittle guidance 😊
Thank you so much
No need to thank me at all, my pleasure!! 🙂

Piyusha i dont like surfing can i skip that?
The surf police might catch you, they are pretty strict about it! 😂
Thanks for the video Piyusha! Would you please help me with-
1. How's the internet there?
2. If we' re looking to stay for a month, what two places could we stay in as our base towns for two weeks each. Places which have an evening scene and close enough to tourist spots to cover on weekends.
Thanks!
Hi, the internet is good at most places, no issues at all.
Depends on which months are you going, Sept to March, No, 1 is Mirissa, it's close to most of the beachy towns in the south. Similarly Weligama was good for the same reason, they are both very close though. Unawatuna is another option. all in south coast.
@@piyushatanwani Thank you! What about June?
@@aj0408ajKandy and nuwara eliya in hills
And unawatuna or hikkaduwa for coastal areas
👍
Thanks :)
Due to the crisis, is it dangerous to do tourism in the country?
No, not at all. It’s all good, they appreciate your business more too.
My Beautiful Country 🇱🇰❤️
I’m planning to go Sri Lanka in March-April
That’s great, you’ll have a great time!! :)
@@piyushatanwani ☺☺

Suggest some good stay option for kandy
I haven’t been there so can’t say
Hello Piyu, we would request to plan 5 to 6 days trip for us..i booked flight to Colmbo in Nov
Hi, I offer consultation and itinerary design as a paid service. If you’re interested, please message me on Instagram or WhatsApp at: 9611836441 :)

Thank youu :)
What is the best way to arrange good reliable guide cum driver for the srilankan trip.Thanks.
You can contact Meththa, our guide, mentioned in the video. That’s my most reliable source: +94 (76) 049 4512
Do they accept INR in local shops in SriLanka?
No not inr
Any reference for car bookings ?
Hi sorry missed this, I have mentioned it in the video too but you can talk to Meththa at: +94 (76) 049 4512
Kitni pyari ho tum. Khush raho. God bless you...
Haha thank you so much!! 🥹😃😃
Hi... how much did it cost u for you 2
Great video! Is IDP issued in India enough to drive cars in srilanka?
I think it should be enough, for 2W you don't need anything. Sri Lanka is generally very chill with their rules but this specifically I didn't ask.
SRILANKA ETA VALIDITY WILL BE COUNTED FROM DATE OF ETA RECEIVED OR FROM 1ST ARRIVAL???? PLEASE CLEAR ABOUT THIS DOUBT.
Hey it’s from the day of arrival, that the valid days are counted
Please forward u r 12 days itinerary. i will palaning to srilanka in Jan 2024
Beautiful Country Srilanka
Yesss for sure :))
❤👍🙏
