Surprised by Sri Lanka’s Ancient Capital City 🇱🇰

- After arriving in Dambulla we rented a scooter and went to Polonarruwa.
Polonnaruwa is an ancient capital city in Sri Lanka. At the first site we visited we found a snake behind the information sign which was interesting. Beside the amazing ancient temples there were a lot of wildlife that like snakes, monkeys, lizards and even deer. This made the visit to this historical side even more beautiful.
There are also many temples and statues outside the park that you can visit without buying the ticket but inside the park you can find the important remainings of the city.
The entrance fee for the park is about $25 and there are guides outside the park that offer tours. These guides are not connected to the park so if you want a tour you need to negotiate about the price. If you are with a scooter you can drive inside the park which is very handy because the park huge.
Hope you enjoyed the video. If so, like, subscribe and share to help grow the channel.

Enjoy and relax ❤
As buddhists we don't pray like christians or hindu people. Those buddhist chantings you hear inside temples are sang by people to remind themselves of the qualities of buddha which they should follow as fellow buddhists. Buddha is no more. He became enlighted and taught his followers how to end this existence by following his noble path to nirvana
Thank you for this information my friend 🙏

The Gal Vihara, and known originally as the Uttararama, is a rock temple of the Buddha situated in the ancient city Polonnaruwa, the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Polonnaruwa, now present-day Polonnaruwa, in North Central Province, Sri Lanka. It was fashioned in the 12th century by King Parakramabahu.
Love this video 😍
Thank you my brother 🙏
You cannot climb a buddhist stupa unless it's for repair or renovation. It's considered disrespectful since most of these ancient stupas contain relics and remains of lord buddha and his crew of monks who had became enlighted a long ago.
When I saw it from a distance I also thought it was a bit weird because I had never seen people on top of a stupa.
Thank you very much for traveling in Sri Lanka
Thank you very much, I really enjoy Sri Lanka and the people are super friendly 🙏

Beautiful 😍
you shouldn't touch snakes, especially if you don't know them! Fortunately, this snake is not very poisonous. the snake can regurgitate his prey and that is a pitty for both the snake and the lizard. it is a flying snake, not very common.
Afterwards I realized it wasn’t the smartest move 😅. We saw many more afterwards, even one on my leg when sitting on a terrace drinking coffee but never touched one again. Thanks Tjeerd 🙏🏻

What a nice starting scene for a video..the snake! You know why, it's a kind not often seen. It's called Sri Lanka Flying Snake (Chrysopelea taprobanica). It can 'fly' (actually, glide) from a tree to another. It's a tree snake, and where you found it was an unusual place for its habitat. Moreover, the venom characteristics of this species are said to be not well known scientifically. So, better let the snake handle its own business, I guess.
So many beautiful animals in Sri Lanka and you see many. Indeed better not touching the snakes anymore 😅

Polonnaruwa kingdom was destroyed by the King name Kalinga Magha, from south India, he burnt all those monasteries but over them he built hindu temples.
that gecko is not big for the snake. he will eventually swallow it. Never disturb the meal of a wild animal!
Yes you are right my friend 🙏
🌚❤🇱🇰
🙏🇱🇰
Wel come to srilanka
The evolution of species may have happened in Sri Lanka.
That's interesting 🙏
That snake is only mildy venomous. called "Gagara danda" a flying snake. all are venomous to old people
Ok luckily I’m not old 😅 🙏🏻
Hi bro
🙏
Don't ver touch snakes, let them be
Please get a proper guide or wikipedia...helpa than the uncle king parakramabahu lived 1000 years ago...
And also tree snake is not venomous life threatning ..
Thanks for your comment, I just met the uncle at the site and he started talking to me. Afterwards he didn't ask for anything so I guess he just loves to talk about the statues. He was very friendly
Welcome to Sri Lanka. ! 🤜🤛
Small advise. Don't ask old people about snakes.
We Asians respect old people, but they never say they don't know. 😅 ( specially, politics & snakes )
We are in a difficult time as a country. Sorry to say this but some hospitals are running out of medicine.
Take care. !
May triple gems bless you 🙏
Thanks I will keep it in mind 🙏
It is not venomous snake, many elders doesn't know about the types of the snakes. They think all the snakes are venomous...
However he explained about the buddha's statues very well. Newer generation doesn't know about that well. Credit goes to him for that...😍😍😍
Ok maybe better to play it safe :)
Leave wild animals alone!
I am regretting about you because yo dont right to catch the snake pls let him eat peacefully.
I thought that he was stuck and couldn’t get back behind the sign, that was the reason, just to help but afterwards I thought it maybe wasn’t smart to do that. Lesson learnt and won’t do it again in the future, thanks 🙏🏻
@@tomdurover Noted..it is the way how snakes are eating, Thanks for Understanding.
