The way chaminda’s mom kissed the back of shanti’s head brought me tears. Thats such a sri lankan mother’s thing. My mom, my friends moms, aunties all do this not only to their own kids. Its the purest form of love ❤
Exactly the same reaction from me too. I am father of two daughters but I trouble my mom to feed me from her hand every time I visit my parents place. Not because of anything, the test of the food when our mothers feed us, you cant find it from any luxurious hotel in the world. The secret is, when our mothers feeding us from their hands with all the tests of the food they mix up their endless love to each and every handful of food.
I agree wholeheartedly to what you say about a mother's love. So pure and limitless. My mother is no more. Every word you mentioned abv reminded me of her. 😢😢😢
@@dulinajayadinu767 Noh bro, i got my own job, i did it because they are my Fam, not for the dollar bill, plus to encourage travellers, i myself atravel enthusiast. 😉
I have watched hundreds of tourists videos, but this one hit me differently. Your story telling is so good, I watched the entire video start to end with just one breath. Chaminda is a true gentleman. These are the people who should be appointed as ambassadors of our country. People in Sri Lanka might not have valuable things to give you, but they have their smile. What a nice video. Thank you!
So Chaminda had to hithike everyday to go to school? That story about "I had to cross rivers, climb rocks to go to school" from our parents are literally true :D
As a Sri Lankan, appreciate that you owned up to the mistake of riding the elephant, and were willing to share it so that people will be more aware so that such practices are not patronised, which is really the only way that it can be stopped! Thank you 😊 You guys look like such a great family, hope you enjoy the stay in Sri Lanka! ❤
oh man, absolutly love the video, and thank you for all great comment about me, means so much to me, looking forward for the next videos. much love family 🥰🥰🤗🤗
@@mrmongoose4001 um not talking low about another country. Did u watch their first video? I guess not. Watch it and then come back n comment. It was their opinion not mine. And um not a brother
Yes absolutely!! I understand the mongoose guys comment. It’s a very moral way of living to not talk low of others. But yes, he would have to watch the first video to understand!
even tho Sri lanka doesnt have seasons like far northern/southern countries do , rubber trees make it happen, unlike many other trees in sri lanka which is evergreen, rubber trees have a season the leaves turn orange and yellow , then they fall after few weeks, rubber trees giving total Autumn vibe in Lanka , such a cool season to walk inside rubber forests
Who discovered the usefulness of the Rubber tree, like over 50% of invensions that we use today it may be the British in Singapore when local showed a white blob that came out of a tree which he called 'geta pachcha', perhaps a mixture of two languages. And they found it's insulation property. So, the rubber was invented. Thanks for the video!.
Watching from Adelaide Australia. Saved this to watch during my lunch break. Your videos are great mate. Story telling is so good. I am enjoying my country so much through your camera lense.
@@akhilapathirana7723 hey! Thank you so much for appreciating our story telling! I put in so many hours of editing exactly for that purpose. To tell a great story. Thank you so much for watching - Matt
Well done mate. When i see the arial footage of that house I knew you guys putting so much efforts to this. Appreciate your work and hopefully you guys had a memorable time in Sri Lanka
Best travel video I have ever seen. Our man Chaminda is a humble man for us because in past few years Sri Lanka faced a hardest economy crisis and Sri Lanka try to stand again. Hats off for him because he tries to do his job for the country. If you try to thank for him please tell your friends, neighbors and your closed ones to travel in Sri Lanka. thank you for creating a beautiful video and your little girl is so lovely. Love you from Sri Lanka.
Same! Watching this made me realize the things that I miss fr 😭. Been in tokyo for almost 8years, and everday that I spent here feels so empty. Enjoy your stay in Sri Lanka🙏🏾
Thank you brother Chaminda for your kindness and hospitality. People like you make us proud to be Sri Lankans. You are a wonderful human being and your family is so kind and generous. May the noble triple gem bless you and your family always
Guys you are very lucky. You experience the real Sri Lanka. This is exactly how rural Sri Lankans live. Hat's off to Chaminda. Down to earth guy. I am pretty sure this trip is going to be a lifetime memory for Little girl Shanthi. And you both. You all will fall in love with Sri Lanka 😊 Have a safe and happy journey.❤ from Sri Lanka.
It was an absolute thrill to watch your video while sipping my morning “Ceylon tea”, especially as I’m currently away from Sri Lanka. Chaminda’s place is mesmerizing, and hats off to him for showing the true Sri Lankan hospitality, which I believe is unmatchable. Guessing that this has been filmed a week or two ago, and I hope you were able to fully enjoy your entire stay in Sri Lanka. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your Sri Lanka videos - great content! Happy Traveling.
Thank you very much for telling the whole world about my country. This is a time when my country needs a lot of help. Because of your visit, my country is getting a lot of support. There are people here who know the best hospitality in the world. The most beautiful travel places in the world are here. I invite you again and again to come to my country. We love you guys so much. ❤️
The location of Chaminda's family home, the trek to get there through jungle and streams, and the views omg!!! It DOES look like a movie setting - it looks too good to be true! If we loved it this much watching it on a screen, can't imagine what it would have been like for you guys to experience that nature in real life. I loved how Shanti was with the baby, it was so cute. And Chaminda's mum was the sweetest omg, the way she started helping Shanti take off her shoes straightaway, and the way she kissed Shanti's head when she gave Shanti the sweets, it was like she was spending time with her own granddaughter 🥰🥰🥰. Chaminda sounds like a really nice guy, and he's cute too 😍👀 It's the country's people that make a holiday a good or bad experience - loving these Sri Lanka videos so far, keep them coming :)
It was such an amazing experience and more to come! And yes, absolutely agree. When people ask us what’s her favorite place we’ve ever been it is 100% about the people.
I got tears. I am really happy to see how my people treat others. I am happy to be a Sri Lankan ❤. Enjoy your time in Sri Lanka guys we always welcome you 🙏
Sri lankan living in australia, Miss my country after watching these. You both are such beautiful story tellers. Wish you all best for all your journeys.
it's great to see you guys down here in our little island. Enjoy our cuisine, and the warmth of Sri Lankan hospitality. Tell the world about who we are :)
Oh my god. This entire video was so beautiful. I love it!!! ❤❤ Chaminda and his entire family were so nice and kind. Thanks, man, I'm so proud to be a Sri Lankan.
Your videos and the narratives have an appealing flavour. Awesome to walk up to an incredible house. personally, I myself as a native had never been to such a unique location. Wow
Thank you so much for complementing our storytelling! We really spend a lot of time to make the stories enjoyable! And yes, it really was an incredible place to see! Thank you for watching!
Man I was so moved when you talk about Kumari , not everyone thinks from that particular angle about the elephant...you guys will be the best parents to Shanti ...
Its so amazing to see how even the smallest things you do in life leads to so far. You met him in Qatar & he suggested u visit sri lanka. Then he flies back to guide u through ur journey. He takes u to his hometown to see his mother & a meal. Im so happy for chaminda too, he came from the hillside to become a head chef in Qatar. This video is so pure & it brings me such joy as a sri lankan to see ur experience. It makes me so happy how good we are as a people in such hard times. Such a wonderful family. A great idea to give ur daughter that experience so she would cherish it all. Wonderful man 10/10

Wow... I can't believe how they bulit their house in such a location 😮❤❤❤ The food is the best. Mouthwatering 😍 I want to eat that aasmi (the sweet thing that shanthi ate) ❤❤❤❤
The way you look at the elephant is great. You do not just say good things like in some vlogs, but the way you present it by praising the good things and criticising the wrong things is impressive. Appears. I have watched many different vlogs, and from all of them, this video is very important and lovable. The moment you spend at the local friend's house is very beautiful.(hats off chaminda , proud of you the way you treat them with your heartfull gesture , some time like a own brother of them ) A very valuable experience for your cute daughter. I wish you safe and successful travel. The value of a beautiful family like this, with a beautiful vlog, cannot be measured by the comment and subscribe count. I hope your trip to Kandy was also a beautiful one. I am also in Kandy.❤
You english peple killd our haunted our elephant for fun.please don't mind about our things.Think about how kind that tiny man he didn’t use a gun like you guys did.He just using that stick just guide the elephant not to harm or else how how cana tiny man control a big elephant.🤨
@@gorya5472Gun or stick we have no right to control animals. You are acting like that ' tiny man ' doing that bc he love elephant. He is doing it for money
This is such a wholesome video literally in the end of it I was tearful ..Such a cool and kind family Chaminda has and the surroundings of his house is simply breathtaking. Also Shanti and Erica looking beautiful as always😊😊 Such a blessed and kind man are you
@@TheirHappyTrails LOL Many of us force to leave due to political situations. It's nostalgic moment for us when we watch your videos and the story you carefully tells. But we are coming back. One day we gonna lift our country where exactly it should be. Follow our story. This can be a potential story similar to how Japan built their country after the nuclear attack.
I watched both videos on Sri Lanka. I felt super proud. Chaminda represents Sri Lankanness massively! Hats off to the gentleman for giving them an unforgettable experience. Thanks to you family too for all the love to our country. Miss my country so much, love from 🇨🇦 🇱🇰
You guys are true travellers!! Doing transformative traveling... Your daughter is so fortunate.. I am Sri Lankan and seeing my country through your eyes is a real treat.. Hooe you had a good time.. Wish you more lovely traveling experiences. Hugs little Shanti ❤ Visit Sri Lanka when you are older as well.
Shanti is a lucky child, big thank you for her parents as well. I live outside SL as well, it is a wonderful country, so diverse in such a tiny Island. Chaminda is a gem, take care people and safe❤
I literally couldn't express my feelings watching this video. My mind just flew back home all the way from Qatar.It's so overwhelming.Later on i realized that Chaminda's home is not so far away from my home. Enjoy ❤ cheers to your beautiful family.
What an emotional video. Its amazing to see how welcoming Chamiinda's family is and it is this kind of hospitality you get in rural townships. Kudos to Chaminda for guiding you guys through this journey. Truly miss this place.
Chaminda, you make proud me as Sri Lankan. Made tears into eyes. What a wonderful place in your house to share with Happy Trails. Typical natural experience at its best. Also we can understand how much difficulty in supplies and live day to day there. That is the cost of happiness, being close to nature. Your hospitality is appreciated by full of heart. Happy Trails, you sharing great experience. Its making happy ourself how the Shanthi, Matt and Erika enjoy through out all journeys. Wish you good luck in Next Trails !!!
Thank you for visiting us and all the compliments you made about my country. I guess you are doing all the production by yourself..as the cameraman, director..etc, it's very professional and educational. I hope my fellow Sri Lankans would follow and support your channel. That's the least we can do for you guys.
Hi, how's the flood situation in colombo and other places. We have planned everything for 26th. But saw the news of flood I colombo, schools closed and business closed. Kindly advice shall we cancel it or not. We are planning colombo_kandy- galle
@@erikmeetei Everything is back to normal already. By the time you arrive, the rains will be over too. You won’t have to cancel your plans, and I hope you enjoy your time in Sri Lanka.
@@rndnnm7864 Hello, the weather is fine to travel right? I have been looking at the weather forecast and it's worrying me. Next 10 days thunderstorm and rain. Don't know what to do. Please suggest. Plan in Colombo-Kandy-Galle- Hirakaduwa- Colombo. Are these areas affected?
@@erikmeetei rain seems to be consistent for a while I guess. Perhaps you should postpone if you are going to make local travels a lot. There is no flooding in those areas, though
I loved the video and the way you brought out very minor details. hats off to Chaminda for his generosity. Enjoy the rest of your stay in this tiny beautiful country. p. s. Most of the things I wanted to comment on are already there.
chaminda this comment is to you homie, when i see you very taking care of little girl my first impression is wow man such a great guy you are.thank you for show them our hospitality our rural life style. wish you the very best මචං ✌
The best travel video I have seen so far. A different dimension of humanity. The flow of the video is even more beautiful because of Shanti, the little angel. Love from Dubai Nepal ❤
We are Sri Lankans living in the USA. I am so glad that your video was suggested by YT! We miss the Sri Lankan hospitality. When watching the walk to the house surrounded by such natural beauty, I was like wow how peaceful getting into and out of the house (not to mention the exercise LOL) We just drive out and drive into the garage!!!! How boring is that haha Chaminda is a great guide for you guys and it's excellent that you all friended him and got to see the true beauty of Sri Lanka, away from the busy city life. I have joined your channel and will be watching your other videos. (FYI our family is a bunch of vlog lovers and every Saturday we choose a creator to watch his/her experiences with travel and food!) All the best and safe travels around the world! 💗
Hey!!!! Amazing!! Well I hope we get some time on your Saturday!! Our next video is posting Thursday 😃😃 and yes, Chaminda is amazing. So grateful for the hospitality of Sri Lanka!! I hope the video didn’t make you miss home too much!
@@TheirHappyTrails We were there in August 2023. Hats off to you guys for travelling that long to visit Sri Lanka. When we go at a stretch, it's quite tiresome, so we break the journey in another country and explore there. Take care and yes we will have your family on our big screen (living room) soon 🙌
Even as a local traveller, I am truly envious because this kind of experience is growing harder to find as the tourism industry develops. Luckily, I've experienced it myself a few times, but Chaminda is truly impressive. What a dude.
Sri Lankan living in Kuwait. Miss my mother land. Thank you Chaminda for representing Sri Lanka. This video made me cry. Glad to see you enjoy my country ❤
after having two and half years of long foreign residency nd just right before to be in the flight back to my motherland ,and suggestion of this video is not a coincidence anymore..this would be preplanned one to lose my sleep in rest of waiting hours😂.Now its 3.am..will be counting each second of next couple of hours to see my mother and mother. Thank u so much for the honest review about srilanka ..and wish u all safe journey and happiest life journey too.🩷
Welcome to Sri Lanka🙏🏼❤️🇱🇰 This was such a beautiful video emphasizing the authentic hospitality of Sri Lankan People❤ Hats off to Chaminda for being such a great gentleman and making Matt, Erica and Shanti's visit an unforgettable one. You truly made them feel like they were part of your family ❤❤❤ Best of Luck to all of you ❤
I am so glad your family got to experience the authentic Sri Lankan cuisine and culture. Most tourists get a more curated experience(still the essence is there and it’s pretty good) but this is just so wholesome and I’m really glad as a Sri Lankan that you got to experience that. Have a great stay here guys! ❤️
No other hospitality beats Sri Lankan hospitality. Most Sri Lankans will give his shirt off his back if you are in need, even if it is the only one he has.
Subscribed: Sri Lankan Missing Home from Australia Thank you so much! The storytelling and editing are captivating and you guys beautifully captured the true essence of our people.
As a Sri Lankan who is living in Canada, I really miss this Sri Lankan hospitality. Glad to see that you guys are enjoying your time out there.
The welcoming energy is unmatched! We feel the love and it’s incredible, I can imagine how you miss it!
❤
Stay there, don't come back
Don't come back here again. You left mother Lanka.
@@Decki777don’t talk sh** mate.
The way chaminda’s mom kissed the back of shanti’s head brought me tears. Thats such a sri lankan mother’s thing. My mom, my friends moms, aunties all do this not only to their own kids. Its the purest form of love ❤
It really was so sweet!! She spoke zero English, and we don’t know the language either. But we could feel her energy! So much love!
Lovely clip..authentic SL behaviour
Yeah true ❤💯

@@sadeepanethmini-tm5ll hope you don’t have pet dogs .
This is such a wholesome video literally in the end of it I was tearful ..Such a cool and kind family Chaminda has and the surroundings of his house is simply breathtaking. Also Shanti and Erica looking beautiful as always😊😊 Such a blessed and kind man are you
Thank you so much 🙏
Let’s take a bow to Chaminda ❤
You are such an amazing person who shows our value of true hospitality to the world 🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely 🙌🏽🙌🏽
It seems Sri Lankans enjoying their Sri Lanka more than anyone.
Absolutely! Way more Sri Lankan viewers than anywhere else!
@@TheirHappyTrails LOL Many of us force to leave due to political situations. It's nostalgic moment for us when we watch your videos and the story you carefully tells. But we are coming back. One day we gonna lift our country where exactly it should be. Follow our story. This can be a potential story similar to how Japan built their country after the nuclear attack.
@@akhilapathirana7251 Thank you for the hope Akill.. 💚from the home base..
I watched both videos on Sri Lanka. I felt super proud. Chaminda represents Sri Lankanness massively! Hats off to the gentleman for giving them an unforgettable experience. Thanks to you family too for all the love to our country. Miss my country so much, love from 🇨🇦 🇱🇰
❤
Chaminda is truly the best!
You guys are true travellers!! Doing transformative traveling... Your daughter is so fortunate.. I am Sri Lankan and seeing my country through your eyes is a real treat.. Hooe you had a good time.. Wish you more lovely traveling experiences. Hugs little Shanti ❤ Visit Sri Lanka when you are older as well.
That’s a great compliment! Thank you friend ❤️🙏🏼
Thank you so much for visiting us and sharing our motherland to the world!
It was such an honor to meet the amazing people of Sri Lanka!
This is such a great vlog man. So wholesome
Thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼
චමින්ද, you are truly a Gem. ❤
I loved my country Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 Thank-you for showing Fantastic Friendly people very proud about chaminda bro❤
We felt the same! Thank you for watching 🙏
Shanti is a lucky child, big thank you for her parents as well. I live outside SL as well, it is a wonderful country, so diverse in such a tiny Island. Chaminda is a gem, take care people and safe❤
Thank you so much for watching! And we are lucky parents!
Superb hospitality is probably in all Sri Lankan blood. Its gotta be a genetical thing
I literally couldn't express my feelings watching this video. My mind just flew back home all the way from Qatar.It's so overwhelming.Later on i realized that Chaminda's home is not so far away from my home. Enjoy ❤ cheers to your beautiful family.
We are so glad you enjoyed the video! And actually, Chaminda lives and works in Qatar also! He is at Boho Social a restaurant in the city!
What an emotional video. Its amazing to see how welcoming Chamiinda's family is and it is this kind of hospitality you get in rural townships. Kudos to Chaminda for guiding you guys through this journey. Truly miss this place.
Chaminda is the best! We miss Sri Lanka too 😭
Chaminda, you make proud me as Sri Lankan. Made tears into eyes. What a wonderful place in your house to share with Happy Trails. Typical natural experience at its best. Also we can understand how much difficulty in supplies and live day to day there. That is the cost of happiness, being close to nature. Your hospitality is appreciated by full of heart. Happy Trails, you sharing great experience. Its making happy ourself how the Shanthi, Matt and Erika enjoy through out all journeys. Wish you good luck in Next Trails !!!
We were so touched by his hospitality and generosity. Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you for visiting us and all the compliments you made about my country. I guess you are doing all the production by yourself..as the cameraman, director..etc, it's very professional and educational.
I hope my fellow Sri Lankans would follow and support your channel. That's the least we can do for you guys.
Hi, how's the flood situation in colombo and other places. We have planned everything for 26th. But saw the news of flood I colombo, schools closed and business closed. Kindly advice shall we cancel it or not. We are planning colombo_kandy- galle
@@erikmeetei Everything is back to normal already. By the time you arrive, the rains will be over too. You won’t have to cancel your plans, and I hope you enjoy your time in Sri Lanka.
@@rndnnm7864 Hello, the weather is fine to travel right? I have been looking at the weather forecast and it's worrying me. Next 10 days thunderstorm and rain. Don't know what to do. Please suggest. Plan in Colombo-Kandy-Galle- Hirakaduwa- Colombo. Are these areas affected?
Thank you so much for the kind words. Yes, we are the full production crew! Shanti Erika and I 🤣😃 we really appreciate you noticing the effort 🙌🏽🙏🏼
@@erikmeetei rain seems to be consistent for a while I guess. Perhaps you should postpone if you are going to make local travels a lot. There is no flooding in those areas, though
Tks chami for the wonderful video of my countries hospitality.we wish u all the best theruwan saranai
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼
Damn I got really emotional seeing how beautiful my country is and lovely the people are 🥲🥲🥲🥲

Thank you for watching! Chaminda is truly the best!
For some reason this video brought tears to my eyes. I missed my home country. Enjoy Sri Lanka - following ur videos from Melbourne.
It is so good to know this video brought back good memories of home!
I loved the video and the way you brought out very minor details. hats off to Chaminda for his generosity. Enjoy the rest of your stay in this tiny beautiful country.
p. s. Most of the things I wanted to comment on are already there.
Thanks for watching! More Sri Lanka videos to come!
Thank you for supporting and advocating for the elephants by saying not to ride the elephants.
We were happy to do our part!

Love from Dubai Nepal ❤
Thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Santi is so cute babe..thank for coming here you all ..❤❤
Thank you for watching!
We are Sri Lankans living in the USA. I am so glad that your video was suggested by YT! We miss the Sri Lankan hospitality. When watching the walk to the house surrounded by such natural beauty, I was like wow how peaceful getting into and out of the house (not to mention the exercise LOL) We just drive out and drive into the garage!!!! How boring is that haha Chaminda is a great guide for you guys and it's excellent that you all friended him and got to see the true beauty of Sri Lanka, away from the busy city life. I have joined your channel and will be watching your other videos. (FYI our family is a bunch of vlog lovers and every Saturday we choose a creator to watch his/her experiences with travel and food!)
All the best and safe travels around the world! 💗
Hey!!!! Amazing!! Well I hope we get some time on your Saturday!! Our next video is posting Thursday 😃😃 and yes, Chaminda is amazing. So grateful for the hospitality of Sri Lanka!! I hope the video didn’t make you miss home too much!
@@TheirHappyTrails We were there in August 2023. Hats off to you guys for travelling that long to visit Sri Lanka. When we go at a stretch, it's quite tiresome, so we break the journey in another country and explore there. Take care and yes we will have your family on our big screen (living room) soon 🙌
Even as a local traveller, I am truly envious because this kind of experience is growing harder to find as the tourism industry develops. Luckily, I've experienced it myself a few times, but Chaminda is truly impressive. What a dude.
It is a real shame how the tourism industry can change these types of experiences. We are really happy we got to meet Chaminda!!
What such a amazing experience that brought tears to my eyes. Tears of happiness of course. Love n Hugs Always From Your Friend In Michigan Tam ❤️ 💓 💗
Thank you Tammy!! So grateful for your long lasting support ❤️❤️❤️
cant wait for next video guys
Same here!
It shows another level of Love, Compassion & true Humanity ❤️ excellent video my be the one of the greatest ❤️
Thank you for watching!

Thank you so much for the amazing compliment ❤️🙏🏼
Welcome to Sri Lanka🙏🏼❤️🇱🇰 This was such a beautiful video emphasizing the authentic hospitality of Sri Lankan People❤ Hats off to Chaminda for being such a great gentleman and making Matt, Erica and Shanti's visit an unforgettable one. You truly made them feel like they were part of your family ❤❤❤ Best of Luck to all of you ❤
We feel the love too! Thank you so much for watching
Hats off to Chaminda for coming all the way from Qatar to show his friends Sri Lanka.
😇😇😇
Yes he is the man!!!
Omg I love the house .. he’s so luck to be living there
I am so glad your family got to experience the authentic Sri Lankan cuisine and culture. Most tourists get a more curated experience(still the essence is there and it’s pretty good) but this is just so wholesome and I’m really glad as a Sri Lankan that you got to experience that. Have a great stay here guys! ❤️
Well said!
Such a wholesome video!!
Thank you 🙏🏼
All my exam stress faded away after watching this vlog ❤
That’s great to hear! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
this is such a heart warming video. good luck to you and your journey's to come. cheers love from srilanka.
Thank you so much! We’re loving Sri Lanka!
No other hospitality beats Sri Lankan hospitality. Most Sri Lankans will give his shirt off his back if you are in need, even if it is the only one he has.
Sri lanka is truly something else
