- Sri Lanka travels, part 5 of 7 of my tasty travel vlogs. In this episode we climbed what is known as the eighth wonder of the world, Sigiriya or the lion rock. There are still many mysteries surrounding this archaeological fortress, in which a palace was constructed on top two hundred metres high. The complex features remnants of a ruined palace, world's oldest landscapes gardens, ponds, canals, alleys and fountains. The entrance was designed in the form of a huge stone lion whose claws have survived, however the body was destroyed. One of the most visited sites by tourists in Sri Lanka. Sadly the government is cashing in on the popularity by charging tourists an unjust premium price.

Yes indeed enjoyed it !!
Tourist PLEAEE do not encourage the Buddhists to unleash its ruthless discrimination, genocide, and crime against humanity against its minorities just like the Myanmar. Please visit the North and East where these atrocities are taking place. The Sri Lankan restricted access for media and tourists to travel these locations as their truth will be revealed. War without witness, ethnic cleansing are taking place. Thank you.

Sri Lanka was ranked the number one by New York Times and Lonely planet as the best tourist destination in the world and second by the national geography.....indeed Sri Lankan is “ A land like no other”.. a country which has got everything...some of the attractions out of so many are Sigiriya (eight wonderful of the world), worlds best beaches they are simply gorgeous and endless with blue water and white sand...stunning waterfalls... amazing wild life with elephants, leopards, bears and many more with the best Safari experience you get once in your life time, worlds largest blue whales colony was discovered in 2013
near south Sri Lankan sea and you can go as close as possible to the largest creature on planet, 1500-2500 years old heritage cities such as Anuradhapura,
Polonnaruwa with rich culture if you love history and ruins..Elephant orphanage where you and your kids can go and feed baby elephants and enjoy the day with the giants on land and the only one in the world in that kind..you can go see the estates and factories and enjoy the taste of worlds best tea ‘ Ceylon Tea’ from it’s origin Sri Lanka. Just hang out in some of the worlds most Beautiful and renowned cities ‘Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Galle’ ..finally the friendliest people and they are truly helpful.. don’t hesitate guys and plan your next vacation in Sri Lanka and simply enjoy your life to the fullest...Sri Lanka ‘ nothing less than a Paradise on earth ’ 🇱🇰🌍

Thank you for the amazing video about my home country. But you missed few more places. Next time visit Anuradhapura, Mihintale and Pollonaruwa as well. :) Now I also live in Melbourne. Missing Sri Lanka. :)
Cheers Buddi, I do plan to go back so thanks for recommendations, I'll look them up.
Hi,
Here is the few tips for everyone who is planing to visit Sigiriya.
1. Don't select weekend or public holiday to visit Sigiriya. (it's too crowded in weekends and public holidays )
2. Go early morning as possible. (its open from 7.00am) too hot and too crowded at day time.
3. Wear shoes,long sleeve tshirt and a cap
4. Bring the water bottle(1 litter)from your hotel or near town, there is no drinking water on the rock and too expensive in near shops
5. Careful from the monkeys and bees
6. if you are a backpacker or use public transport, select hotel near Dambulla town. its easy to catch buses and cheap local restaurants
Thank you
Thanks for the video 👍 🇱🇰 ❤ 💪
Cheers!

Hey What happened to part 6 & 7 ?
Awesome video ! Thanks for sharing....
Thanks so much Tom! Joel
waiting for kandy
May take a couple weeks now as I have to go to Paris.
I climbed it too !
Congrats Olivia!
it's good see quality video about our country. but there is no priority for public transportation in sri lanka. So that how they drive to reach their destination on time. you should try the long distance buses for one time in here.
Thanks Ravindra, but I will never get into those buses! Maybe the big reputable coaches, but not those local ones. Next time, definitely trains and then cars only for short distances. Highways are perfect if there's one on your way, I know they are building one from Kandy which will help a lot :)
Tnx boss tnx for visit my country.
My pleasure Mahi, beautiful country!
awesome
Nice boss👌👌👌😍😍😍
Thanks my friend! 😃
Three people in scooter is not common in SL😂 it’s quite unusual
👌👌👌👌😍😍😍😍😰
Can I have the contact details of your driver? Will be travelling to Sri Lanka in February. Thanks.
I don't have it sorry, see links in description for other things. Have a great trip and use the trains, book in advance.
There are some facebook groups which you can get competitive rates
Why don't present government installed a lift now
That would be horrible.
@@recipe30 there is very much advanced technology now. eg under water tunnel train.this is not difficult than that
👌👍
❤❤❤
Don't touch the stray animals- they can have rabies- this ain't Canada.
You're absolutely right, but he was too cute! ;)
Light breakfast😂
Yeah very light! That Mamma would have made us big people if we stayed there a month! :)

30 $ for only foreigners!!! for us its 60 rupees like 0.4$!! irritating isnt it
What I dont like about going to sri lanka is paying tourist fees at the aeroport and pay extra at any park or historic site the goverment of srilanka has remove these rules if they want more tourist coming into the country. The other thing is when you get second citizenship from another country you lose your srilankan citizenship
Yes that would be so illegal in Western countries to charge one price for one person, and a different price based on their nationality. Plus entry fees are like the equivalent of one week's minimum wages in Sri Lanka. I hope the government sees reason to help this beautiful country thrive for its people.
Boring
thanks for that comment.
30 $ for only foreigners!!! for us its 60 rupees like 0.4$!! irritating isnt it
Yes that's disappointing about Sri Lanka, some poor back packers had to turn back after travelling all that way. Entry fees can be so overpriced, government needs to be more reasonable if they wish to attract tourists.
definitely bad governments make these things worse. living here is too expansive than u expect they actually destroying everything economically and the money goes straight to the ministers pocket people r suffering here cant do anything. deforestation at its best here! everyday elephants r dying in train accidents no solution for anything.
