      It's beautiful island everyone in the world talks about it's natural beauty and variety of things to offer for all kind of tourists and adventure seekers..
      While there are some Tamils (may be born in SL) talk shit about the country like the comment above .. I'd like to suggest and would appreciate if you could remove the reply above please..
      Wish their asylum applications got rejected when they went to either UK or Canada or the boat sunk on their way to Australia..

    Emily,
    The first line in this really said a lot about you "this isnt about me, let me show you how to travel this amazing country."
    As a fellow travel vlogger I sometimes feel the videos are too much about the blogger and not enough about the beautiful places they visit. I feel your blog strikes a happy balance between the two.
    Made sure to subscribe. Look forward to see where you go next

      @EmilyHamilton.  6 років тому +4

      I think I rewrote that intro 4 times. I wanted people to know that I’m a traveller and that they can take advice from me, but at the same time I didn’t want to go on about my self because that’s not what people clicked on to the video for! So it’s good to know that that you like it! Thank you.

  • @jayalathsameera
    @jayalathsameera 6 років тому +13

    This is a very common route. There are lots of places to visit. Recommend to going Nuwara Eliya, haggala garden, minneriya national park, wilpaththuwa national park, yala national park, kumana national park (birds), Anuradhapura-ancient capital with lots of Buddhist temples, Trincomalee, nilaweli beach, pasikuda, arugambay, jaffna, delft, nagadeepa islands, Polonnaruwa, pidurangala, sinharaja jungle, galle fort and many more............Love my country

    • @EmilyHamilton.
      @EmilyHamilton.  6 років тому +2

      Hello yes it is a recommended route for people without months and months! a route for holiday makers of a stay up to a month. Also I did mention Yala, polonnaruwa and gale fort. I did go to Anuradhapura but I would recommend either pollonaruwa or Anuradhapura to other tourists. Unless they absolutely love that kind of thing but for people with not that much time Pollonaruwa is where I would personally suggest because of the location as well as the fact its more intact. Thank you

    HI Emily, this is very good video and hats off to you for doing a detailed one. in your visit to Galle, you should have visited jungle beach in Unawatuna. Also, you said that you didn't find Hikkaduwa fascinating. Hikka used to be a beautiful place before the Tsunami. The was a beautiful coral reef which is dead now. Another top spot to visit is Trincomalee and Arugambay,,,

    • @EmilyHamilton.
      @EmilyHamilton.  6 років тому

      Hey I actually did go to jungle beach! It’s in another one of my videos! It’s a shame about the coral. I did love the turtles! I am planning on heading back to check out the east coast next year. I’ll Have to make an updated travel guide then.

    Thank you for making this great video. But I must say, this video only contains less than 15-20% of things you can do and experience in SL. There are so many other things you can do and visit in SL. :)

    • @EmilyHamilton.
      @EmilyHamilton.  6 років тому +4

      Hey, thanks for the compliment! yes for sure there are, this guide is a realistic idea of what people can get up to in a normal 2-4 week vacation/holiday. Imagine doing the other 80 percent in a vacation! You wouldn't get to sleep haha. Like I said in the video too, this is based also more on the southern areas because of the different climate.

    The video covers all most all the attractions. If you are a budget traveler avoid traveling in tuk-tuks. Thanks for visiting the beautiful peal in the Indian ocean :)
