  • Sri Lanka is famously known for its endless paddy fields seen around
    this island. Whilst cycling our way from the east coast of Sri Lanka to the South Coast we checked in to Jetwing Kaduruketha a Unique resort found in Wellawaya which is such an underrated tourist destination in Sri Lanka

    I have been following you guys for a long time, I live in Ghana, west Africa,when I was a kid my parents where based in Colombo it was a long time ago,as the country was called Ceylon then, we brought some king coconuts back with us to Ghana and have planted many here which are thriving. I hope to visit your beautiful country again.

    Love your videos, Sheneller. You have a fantastic on camera presence and excellent storytelling ability. I really admire the curiosity you have for your home country and your dedication to showcasing all of Sri Lanka's hidden beauties, despite the difficult times there. Also think it's really cool the way you and your partner are able to explore the world together and work as a team, even though I'm sure it's not always easy. Planning to visit Sri Lanka next year!

    The Pottuvil to Monaragal cycling path is beautifully captured by the cameraman, and interacting with some subscribers were giving a boost to travel in a light-hearted manner.
    The Kaduruketha Jetwing eco-friendly resort is so thrilling to stay in a village world atmosphere. The Uma Oya dam and its surroundings captured by the drone shots are spectacular to watch. The kurakkan pudding is a nice thought for the day. But it's too high priced in Colombo and randomly available.
    Organic farming is suitable for the individual farmer to grow the paddy for his family to cater, but not enough for the whole people of Srilanka.
    Thank you for the detailed organic way farming though not possible for mass cultivation to cater the 22milliin people.

    Your effort in producing a great video is remarkable. More like a documentary. And your perspective as city kids adds heaps of value to the content. Because your exploration of rural life and nature is closer to what a foreigner might feel in the journey. I wish the authorities identify the value and promote your channel alongside other tourism promotions. Best wishes to reach the heights you deserve ❤

      Thanks a lot! as you might have realised this is our fulltime profession. untill our youtube channel is large enough to cover our costs of production. we do have to work with other brands to make this model viable.
      Additionally there are quite a lot of people who look for hotel experiences on this platform. as always we try to strike a healthy balance.

      @@Sheneller thanks for taking your time from your hectic schedule to clarify. There is absolutely no harm in promoting another brand but be up front so that the viewers can judge for themselves. Give the viewers the pros cons of the places where you stay n not limit it it to the way side joints you stay to charge your batteries. I am believer of the good work that you and your peers do n as avid travellers take their word when booking airlines, hotels of course train tickets when touring. Good luck.

    I have watched so many international bikepackers vlogs and enjoyed how they would experience their cycling with wayside camping in forests and deserts at nights. Most of them enjoy minimalist travels But your bikepacking is highly expensive! You often camp at expensive resorts and hotels by promoting such places!
