gagandeep singh bindra Are you serious? 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Damn guys! Amazing.
@@gagandeepsinghbindra yes we understand but the videos are made already. we cant take it down and put it back up.
Seems like it is cheaper than India....1000$ is more than enough in Srilanka as You spent the same in India.
I'm always amazed by your capability of putting together such an interesting story in every episode. travel days can be so spontaneous and sometimes it's hard to come up with a captivating story but you never fail to do it! You guys are an inspiration!
Thanks mate. But the reason we are so 'captivating' is because we are so 'spontaneous'🙏
We love y'all ❤
Thanks guys 😀🙏💜
Its good to see jaffna rising up after 30 years of bloody war. Great video
Thanks :)
That's because the western government deceived the tamils
@@narenselva4621 but Indian gov train the first badge of LTTE to start the war in sri lanka.
The world knows what really happened
@@QubitTechnologies ??? We did ??? I think The Rajiv Gandhi govt . made a mistake and complicated internal matter of Srilanka by sending armed forces .
This is what we (Indians) believe and the state of Tamil Nadu in India has different opinion about this whole conflict .
But rehabilitation of Tamils in Srilanka is good and inclusive policies must be implemented.
Love it ! Great videos
That sunset was unreal! Loving the series so far guys 👍 🇱🇰
Cheers Guys!!! enjoying your new format too.... keep going....
you guys are presenting the beauty of sri lanka so nicely ... cheers from sri lanka !! :)
Thanks so much 💜
Jaffna is lovely.In 1967 I went to Jaffna for the first time and three months ago I went there for the second time. no where is better
Was in Jaffna last 2 weeks, was amazing the fort, the open markets, the streetfood.. thks for sharing. I love Sri Lanka!
💜💪💜

Uu shows real local life... Uu guys ain't play around... U guyzz r indeed hard core travellers with true honesty to share ur true travel experience... Ur efforts worth more than billions of dollars... Really amazing...
Thanks so much Alfan, we really try our best to give you the real travel experience. It means a lot to us that you say that 😊🙏💜 much appreciated
Rachel near Area 51 (USA), a Tribal Village in Sunderbarns (India) or Kasol near Manali (India) is probably the most remote places I have been although best "un-travelled" experience EVER is being in the Gir Forrest in Gujarat (India) staying near some tribal villages and 3 men seeing me and apparently I was the first white person they had seen - I will never forget their faces the way they were looking at me, I thought experiences like that were a thing of the past - Magical !!!
I only discovered your videos with Paddy's Loop video and have binged before this series, as a former media student you guys do a FANTASTIC job and is clearly of professional standard. Keep it up! I wish you guys were more often!!!
rad travels Chris! Cheers
@@TheBudgeteers Thanks guys. Wish you were more than once a year...
Wow, you guys are one of coolest you tubers. Never have I ever seen a foreigner driving tut tut in Jaffna . 😄😄. Also , you saved yourself a tons of money on taxi fare and etc. Way to go! Jaffa is my hometown and I miss Jaffna. I live abroad in the U . S
You got yourself a new subscriber. Keep doing spontaneous stuff and surprise your viewers!
Awesome thanks so much 😋💜
Sri lanka is Beautiful destination for your holliday welcome you all ourfriends ,thank you sharing beautifu; video .
Thanks 💜
Awesome one. Glad to see people in Jaffna is so welcoming you. It's something most islanders can't have.
Thanks, yeah they were all so nice to us!
Just watched this episode for the second time. I really miss home (Sri Lanka) but unable to travel anytime soon but coming back to this video helped with my homesickness. You just showed a beautiful side of Sri Lanka where technology didn't take over yet but rather the beauty of nature and the kindness and the smiles of the village people. Love it!
we really loved it there and are happy we could help you in some way! big hug x
Such a blessing the three of you found each other. So laid back and ready to enjoy life. All on the same page of looking for and finding the best adventures.
exactly, we're lucky to have each other :)
Absolutely beautiful. I love how laid back and just plain fun this series is compared with past series. Even just simple moments like riding around in a TukTuk seems so fun!
Thanks so much 🍺🍺🍺
@@TheBudgeteers I'm finally going to Sri Lanka in December.....Mind if I ask you guys a couple of the more technical questions? My fiance and I are wanting to drive a Tuktuk and stay there for three weeks and I had a few questions not covered in the series itself.
You guys are awesome! Thanks for visiting my country 🇱🇰🙏 🙏❤️
This is my favourite episode of the budgeteers so far!
Wow...
I love watching your videos because you show the good and the “bad.” You don’t act like everything is fine. You made everything fine. Like getting lost and finding a beautiful place. You guys are amazing!
Thanks Jess!
Another grand adventure....off the radar you find yourself!!! Thanks!!
Cheers RoB!

HATS OFF TO YOU GUYS FOR GREAT, UNIQUE & CONSTRUCTIVE VLOG IN JAFFNA, SL.
AT THIS YOUNG AGE THINKING ABOUT GOING TO PLACES LIKE JAFFNA (MOST BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE WITH AN AERIAL VIEW / DRONE VIEWS) IS BRILLIANT & HELPING OUT WAR TONE JAFFNA TAMILS. AMAZING PEOPLE ARE YOU GUYS.
When you are mentally emotionally and physically prepared for a journey the road is open the path is clear and the destination is where ever the giraffe drives your tuktuk. Traveling with the road as your guide and the wind as your plan then serendipity and bliss will guide your hand to adventure. Fear no road life is simple and wonderful it's all you really need. What a beautiful journey. Thank you for taking us on your journey
Poetic :)
Aww I felt nervous when you guys were taking the tuk tuk through the sand. I was thinking... no don’t get bogged lol beautiful day and adventures no standard tourist could explore, way more authentic with locals. Loved it
Thanks for looking after us! haha
Really I love you guys. Peace and love from Saudi Arabia
Thank you so much!! 😁🙏
The best part about travel, getting lost. what an amazing and unforgettable experience you guys managed to have. Just think you would have never had that experience if you would have managed to get on the boat! Awesome job as always.
Glad you liked it guys!

I like this type of travel. at random, discovering simple places and people
What a beautiful video guy's - so nice, loved the sunset! to answer your question re: Off Beaten Track - for me it has to be Zinkwazi Beach, Zululand - South Africa - utter bliss!
wow!

Thanks so much 💜
I'd never seen or known about Sri Lanka before, only the name, and, with your videos guys, i'm learning a lot of this country, really beautiful and like I said, for some reason it seems that it has some sort of central american style, at least in the countryside and beaches. Keep it up and can't wait to the next episodeeeee!!
yeah it kinda does, :)
Sri lanka rocks!!! Thats my country dearest
Great series ever ive seen i dont know u guys enjoyed or what but i really enjoyed every bsec of video.. thanks for the videø
Hello budgeteers well that was an amazing episode and what a beautiful sunset at the end with the reflection of the three of you in the water on the t Tuctuc don’t you think you should get that copied and use that for your merchandise that is such a beautiful piece of art naturally made by the world really enjoying the episode guys can’t wait to see more of your adventures next week sending you big hugs and sharing the love we had this really felt like to return to the original ethos
I am getting that blown up for my house 💜
That King Coconut is in my to do list before I die .. thank you guys for this amazing episode 😍

We used to clear all the king coconut trees in our neighbourhoods when we were small😃😅 memories ❤

Boom! my favorite part of the day is when i see your videos uploaded!
Hope you enjoyed it 💜
Have you considered/investigated visiting Trincomalee, Nilaweli beach, Passikudah beach, Batticaloa, Arugambay and visit Hotel Kandalama ( world heritage site) peradeniya gardens and Nuwaraeliya ?
yeah, keep watching the series each Friday, we will 100% visit some of those places :)
@@TheBudgeteers Super! Will be looking forward to see what you all come up with. Best Wishes...
Sri Lanka looks a nice place with cool people.
amazing place and people!
I love watching srilanka vlogs because i miss sri lanka and this made me feel so at home because you didnt only go to the fancy places
💜💜💜
OMG.....I m stunned.....guys.....I m feeling quenched now..
haha good to know! Got a great Bitesize dropping on Monday!
I love Sri Lanka, the best food, nature, whether. When i drink king coconut i ask locals to put the coconut water in a glass or just drink it like this instead of using a straw. There's still too much plastic and a lack of recycling in this beautiful country
Good idea for sure 💜
Jaffna is the place you can buy cheapest ( I mean good food for a lesser price ) food in Sri Lanka. ❤️
If you’re a prawn lover, jaffna is the place for you. 😉👌👌👌
You guy's make me feel so warm and cozy. It just makes my day to see your videos. Thanks for making amazing videos ❤️😊
That's great to see hear :)
I BLOODY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, HAS A REAL QUALITY TO THEM.

Thank you for another amazing episode and looking forward to the next one. You've inspired me and I want to go to Sri Lanka and drive a Tuktuk. I'm becoming obsessed with Tuktuks. Sri Lanka is beautiful.
I noticed you can hire camper Tuktuks.
Have a safe trip 💜
Most off the beaten path places I have been... had to be either Villa de Leyva, Colombia, Caye Chapel, Belize, or Celarain Lighthouse, Cozumel, Mexico. Thanks for the videos! Aloha

The best videos and the best people on UA-cam
Thanks so much 💜
That's an amazing cool fort is it a guided tour is there signage to identify structures, form history? The locals seemed friendly outgoing and curious which is amazing. Enjoy the poop Lina lol. That coastal market looks awesome and a way to find a cheap deal buying dockside and all would be great and convient.
yeah they did have people working there to answer any questions and a museum too
It's Friday night entertainment!!! These vlogs make the week flyby..Can't wait to start the video.
yeaaaahhh!!! enjoy it!
Watching from Nepal, heard so much about Jaffna, Elephant Pass, etc which SL Army and LTTE vigorously fought to take stronghold of during their civil war. Jaffna looks normal, beautiful & buzzing, and why not it's almost 10 years now.
:)
Welcome to Srilanka enjoy your stay.
Loved the adventure at the beach! Perfection. So magical!
It really was an amazing afternoon just getting lost 💜
Loving it paddy lina and thias ...love seeing local life....thst s what I love the most xxxxx fabulous episode ...xxx

Hi guys.
Just to say we just discovered your channel last night doing research for our triumphant and extended return to Sri Lanka in February.
Loving your work people, loving your work. Subbed, obviously.
If I may, just one question - what ARE the yellow banana things on Zeta's roof?
Always looking forward to your content
Thanks Paul, we really appreciate it 😊👍
Awesome loved it 😍😍😍😍

a teacher, an artist and a pole dancer entered an island. they had a nice time travelling around
That sunset with three of your shadows.. Just blew my mind..

Thank you so much for visiting Sri Lanka 🇱🇰🤝❤❤👍
Beautiful camera work in this segment. Quite inviting.. You keep me wanting MORE!.. ♥
thank you so much!!!!! more to come, more to come!
Thank you Wendy, loads more episodes coming every week. Glad you like them 😊🙏💜
What you'll doing is amazing .. Looking forward to watch your future videos 😍
Thanks :)
The most off beaten track I've explored was by accident near the Arroyo Seco campground in the Los Padres National Forest in California. Me and 8 of my friends THOUGHT we were supposed to tube down the river from this very high point that we hiked up to. It turns out that was not the case, it was just supposed to be a swimming spot. However we did end up seeing some beautiful spots that we could have only reached by risking our lives and tubing down this rocky but gorgeous area. It took about 5 hours to reach the bottom and we all passed out immediately after our group camp dinner. We still joke about getting matching tattoos after surviving the trip. We're very lucky no one broke any bones.
Wow! cool story :)
A giraffe driving a tuktuk 🤣🤣. I love the budgeteers, I spend hour watching you guys I feel your my family and miss you all.
