one the biggest mistakes of my life is choosing Bali over Sri Lanka. Well, the airline website kept failing to book my flight to Colombo. And I made the stupid assumption, that it was fate telling me to go to Bali. While Bali is paradise... I’d still find Sri Lanka more exotic. (There will be another time).
I,m a srilankan..it,s a good video about srilanka and it,s cost.I have a happy news for you guys Now Srilanka is Open for tourists free from the covid19 barriers.I,m inviting you to travel here and I recommend Kandy to Ella train trip.❤️it is fantastic
My pleasure!! Feel free to share, I would love to reach more people with information to travel your beautiful country. It was truly an INCREDIBLE trip and I can't wait to come back.
Sri Lanka looks fabulous. Hopefully once travel restrictions are relaxed it can get added to my bucket list of places to visit. Seems totally affordable. But how safe would it be for a solo traveler?
hi james its totally safe for solo travelling in sri lanka if u want to know more about beautiful places in srilanka. check out my instagram @th3_rambler feel free to ask anything :D
Thank You Megan for the lovely description and the video of my country Sri Lanka....appreciate your video...Would be great for you to come back here once again....Cheers:))
We have been to Sri Lanka four times and our holidays there were all wonderful experiences. Yes it’s very affordable, varied accommodation choices and the food is delicious. Our experience in Yala National park though …..was absolutely dreadful. I guess it was a busy July day and jeeps were everywhere! Many drivers would not turn off their jeeps and we’d be left, listening to their engines and not nature. It was such a frustrating experience that we asked to be returned to the main town and end the trip early. We have been on jeep safaris in Africa which were breathtakingly beautiful… but sadly our Yala experience was very disappointing. We expected to be out in nature but sadly we were overwhelmed by jeep traffic & noise. Beyond this only one negative experience .. (in four trips there) we LOVE Sri Lanka because of their warm, hospitable, welcoming people. Sri Lanka may be close to India but it is NOT India. From our travels …best time to visit Sr Lanka would be for the festival held in Kandy called the Esala Perahera. Check it out on UA-cam. An absolutely stunning display of culture, dance, music and celebration of faith. We were hoping to return to Sri Lanka this coming summer 2022… but the country is in major major political and economic chaos now: it is sad to see this beautiful country falling to its knees ….as the world has seen happen in Myanmar with the military take-over last year. Two beautiful countries have been turned upside down. Out thoughts and prayers are with the people of Sri Lanka & Myanmar. We miss your hospitality and kindnesses. Hold strong.
Hey Meghan it would cool if you did an apartment prices in your province video In a way doing it would tell us you were out lockdown since you could move about.
@@PortableProfessional I mean technically you could film those places now and Then after Lockdown I'm getting suspicious as to whether lockdowns will end at all it's coming up on a year of this stuff in Britain. If I take a positive attitude then it will end it in March this year. You guys have the Pfizer and moderna Vaccines over in Canada the roll-out seems inefficient on The liberal party of Canada's part.
7:04 "best places in the world to spot leopards" ;) So that's where they get their spots?? Excellent breakdown of the pricing options - quite cool about being able to rent Tuk-Tuks ... What's your perspective on safety there - overall - for either you and/or your travel partner?
Hi, I am Vietnamese and I did not appreciate you saying you didn’t like my country. I understand tourists will have opinions, but please keep it to yourself. My country has had a broken past and lots of war trauma and it’s best if you could keep it to yourself as it felt like a slap in the face for you saying you did not like my country. All in all you have a great channel but from the Viet Community we would appreciate it if you take down the video because it is telling people to come to our country and enjoy our beautiful culture :(
Nice video and you deserve more subscriptions I live in the middle part of the country and our family's cost of living is about 200$ per month . That's more than enough for everything.i still amaze by the cost of you
Sri Lanka is officially re opened for tourists.... See more details on www.srilanka.travel/ Sri Lanka is among top 10 countries of the world which control Covid 19 pandamic.... so it's very safe to travel there
Thanks for this Informative video ❤ Watching this as a sri lankan abroad planning to go back to SL for student vacation. its amazing that u guys managed your budget about 1000$ per person ❤
Very informative. Just wanted to ask if you felt safe while traveling. I heard about unrest due to some economic issues Shri Lanka was going through. I can’t await for my upcoming visit in February. Thanks again. 🙏
Updates about traveling Sri Lanka since 1st of October 2021. If you are fully vaccinated there are no quarantine and you can travel around the country 😊
Hello, Your are informations are very helpfull. Thank you for uploading. From when to when you were there? I am in Germany. It is now so difficult to get a Visa.
I hv visited Sri Lanka back in 2012. Will love to go there again. Pl guide me accordingly how much will I need for per month expenses in an average way . Regards
From What I read every where regarding travel to Sri Lanka. Currently you need to Quarantine no matter if your PCR positive or Negative Tested. Even if you had the Vaccine you still need to Quarantine at a designated Hotel for 14days in Sri Lanka. My main questions are: 1. When will the restrictions be lifted for no needing to be quarantined for 14 days for Foreigners travelling to Sri Lanka? 2. How soon will things be relaxed and all restrictions lifted for all visitors to travel and visit as normal to Sri Lanka?
This information is no longer accurate. There's NO quarantining and NO need for pcr if you are vaccinated and tested negative at the country of departure. Sri Lanka welcomes all tourists and travellers with open arms
God loves you so much that He sent His Holy Son Jesus from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins, and to be put into a tomb 3 days and rise from the dead the third day, and He (Jesus) went back up to heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, & abominable, & murderers, & immoral persons & sorcerers and idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus & put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent.
Great for a holiday but not for retirement .. too bad such a paradise.. foreigners are all millionaires in the locals' eyes and many very aggressive scammers.. are emboldened to kidnap you in a tuk-tuk and empty your bank account selling you worthless jewels .. .. women alone are often stalked .. it is very poor .. and no one talks about the dangers .. the people are mostly very honest .. but tourist areas you will be targeted and harassed .. living there is a time bomb ..maybe if you live of in the countryside it will be OK .. just remember cheap rent can be a trap ..
Sorry, dont mean to be rude. Im sure you are a lovely person. I just cant handle speech impediments. Nothing personal, its just a thing that I have a hard time listening to.

We love Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka looks fabulous. Hopefully once travel restrictions are relaxed it can get added to my bucket list of places to visit. Seems totally affordable. But how safe would it be for a solo traveler?
I would personally have no concern solo traveling the southern coast and through the center (Ella) area.

Thanks you for helping to develop our tourism . 🇱🇰
I would love to visit Sri Lanka! Would definitely be a fun experience to rent a tuktuk but I think taking the train would be a good option too 😄
Excellent content...sadly no travel plans until after the pandemic

US$300 for a Return flight from Bangkok to Sri Lanka (Colombo)? That's quite reasonable. I hope Sri Lanka visa is "on arrival" for Canadians.
Very reasonable! good luck!
Great. Want to go there.
And I want to go back! Fingers crossed for us both.
Thank you very much. You explain the reality.All the best from "Yapa Creation" travel channel
thank you for ur positive feedback about my country it means lot to us
Hey Meghan it would cool if you did an apartment prices in your province video In a way doing it would tell us you were out lockdown since you could move about.
I've thought about it, but would really like to be able to show the places- will revisit after lockdown. Thanks for the suggestion!

It’s called freedom of speech. She is expressing her opinion of things. She is entitled to share her experiences.. No need to get your butt hurt.
@@yoal6557 Yes and I also have the freedom of speech to criticize her. Hypocritical for you to state that. Anyways toodles!
Nice video and you deserve more subscriptions
I live in the middle part of the country and our family's cost of living is about 200$ per month . That's more than enough for everything.i still amaze by the cost of you
Great information. Thank you.
hi, can you still travel in sri lanka anywhere you want or is it prohibited?
I really don't want to advise as I am not sure of the latest. Def check the gov website. Good luck!
Sri Lanka is officially re opened for tourists.... See more details on
www.srilanka.travel/
Sri Lanka is among top 10 countries of the world which control Covid 19 pandamic.... so it's very safe to travel there
Yeah Sri Lanka is reopened but under restrictions . You may not get the Normal kind of travel experience but still worth it
Sri Lanka seems like such a safe travel destination, but was this true? Did they speak English? Is driving on the left side a big adjustment?
Thanks for this Informative video

What airport did you fly in to and is that the most common way to enter?
Great question! Bandaranaike International Airport, it's near Colombo
Very informative. Just wanted to ask if you felt safe while traveling. I heard about unrest due to some economic issues Shri Lanka was going through. I can’t await for my upcoming visit in February. Thanks again. 🙏
Seems incorrect for 2021. As level 1 hotels are mandatory, which are not that cheap.
Muito bom o video 🙏👍

Where did you rent your tuk tuk?
It's unfortunate that most of these prices are no longer relevant. A quick google search shows that some of these prices have doubled.
Beautiful
