why is this channel not having at least 300k subscribers?! you guys are awesome, literally NO BS guide for traveling. I went to vietnam this year, followed your DO's and DONT's and had zero problems where other backpackers had some and told me the stories. Keep it up guys, you ARE making a difference.
Wow! That was a very informative video... Being a Sri Lankan myself, there was so much I learnt thanks to you guys.. Keep up the good work guys. ❤️❤️👍👍
For anyone interested, 1st and 2nd class reserved is actually reserved. As a Sri Lankan I honestly try to get 2nd class reserved for long journeys and 3rd class for short journeys.
Thanks for making such a wonderful and informative travel video. I have been following your vlogs in all my traveling as they remained very helpful. Last year, I visited Vietnam and followed all your travel tips in three videos series you made. Keep travelling…. Keep making great videos….. Stay blessed & stay together 👍
Great video! As a full time traveller for the past 7 years, I often find these types of videos unhelpful and generic; however this was not the case with you guys. You pack a lot of valuable information into each video. I can tell you put many hours of work into making your videos. With so many "fluffy" UA-camrs out there, know that your hard work and professionalism does not go unnoticed. We will definitely be rewatching this video before we visit Sri Lanka in November! Keep up the excellent work :) You deserve every bit of monetization you recieve...
Hi Guys, great video, I have a question, when travelling, what do you do to keep your video footage safe? Do you just take good care of the SD cards until you get back home or do you have a ways to back them up while abroad, I send my GoPro footage from my micro SD cards to my GoPro account in the cloud via my iPhone but it takes forever, I just wondered if you know of a better option, many thanks.
Thank you for the extremely valuable and helpful information pre-Covid. Most of your advice still remains in valid and as time has gone by, the necessary Covid19 safety regulations need to be added. You guys have done yeoman service for #SriLankaTourism and the time and effort taken to accomplish this video has definitely been immense.
Great work on this Travel Guide guys! The video is very informal, well edited and the two of you are a joy to watch. How does this video 'only' has 19k views. Like come on people, few youtubers are as informative as these two. You deserve more views, as well as likes. Love from the Netherlands
This is the best travel video for SL that we have ever seen! We travelled there in 2015 and are itching to go back of things EVER calm down again... Love your style, the comments on the trains cracked us up 😂😂 Totally true! Will be watching more of your channel!
Great video! My wife & I are going to Sri Lanka next week and your advice has definitely helped us curb the “fear of the unknown” aspect from our minds. Your video was jam backed with really great tips and has given us lots of ideas that we’d not even considered. Thank you and keep up the great content 🇱🇰♥️
Once again, brilliant information. Been there twice in last one year and everything is absolutely right on; to the point and solid information. Keep up the great work you two are doing. It is a huge huge thing for most who would travel ahead to this marvellous country.
Thanks for the video! Our trip is next year and we decided to go with a guided tour just to minimize our planning time and we also didn't know what to expect. We normally prefer to travel on our own. Excited to get there soon!
Best travel guide for every country and good observation.. carry on and the people will definitely catch on to the truthfulness of ur videos..try daily blogging too cz i would love to watch ur daily life
Ever wish to come to india.. I'll be more than happy to asist you guys and be your local guide even though am not any typ of guide or from any tour company..
Great video guys, very informative. Went to Sri Lanka earlier this year and traveled the South and West coasts, loved the people, food and local transport to get around. Planning our next visit to checkout the east coast next June. Happy traveling.
Sri Lanka is one of the top 5 countries I wanna visit! Was planning for this winter but, with the recent anti-muslim unrest, I may wait awhile as I do wear a head scarf and don't want to end up in a risky situation. Thanks for yet another incredible video!
Trust me there is no any kind of discrimination against Muslims in Sri Lanka as some Western media portrait! The country has banned full face coverings like burqa for security purposes and it has nothing to do with discrimination of Muslims.if you are wearing a head scarf and it does not cover your entire face,you will have no problem at all!
Guys your series about Sri Lanka is amazing, great job, lots of valuable information about expenses and transportation. I am planning a trip for December and will use your tips! How about SIM cards? Did you buy a local one with data to use maps and booking websites? 😊
Thanks for this video and content! My sister went to Sri Lanka about 7 years ago when it was even less discovered by tourism. This definitely makes me want to go. We are very adventurous and ambitious travellers when we get away from our 9-5 but are looking for ways to go on adventurous holidays with a baby. Any advise? Thanks!
I have traveled around Sri Lanka for 6 months, half of what you said in this guide is NOT TRUE, may be that was your experience. Most Hotels are listed on Booking dot com so you can get a better deal if you use it. 80% of the hotels i went to got fastest internet 3 - 20 mbps connection even in $5 hostels Sri Lanka has multiple weather zones, when Colombo is 38 C you can travel 3 hours to Nuwaraeliya and you will be in 10 -20 C Climate
Well documented and narrated. I am a Sri Lankan living in the USA. enjoyed your honesty of your experience. It is indeed a beautiful Island. pitty you didn't get to visit the North or speak about the diversity of the ocean - I also have viewed your no BS guide to Vietnam as that is my next travel destiny
I am from Sri Lanka. Hello Does not mean "kohomada" it mean in sinhala "Ayubowan" anyway i like your video and can't say thank you enough for promoting our country across worldwide. best of luck you guys
I just landed in SL and got my visa on the spot for 30 bucks. Then got a four month extension at the immigration office for $100. I'm told they are abolishing this fee for Americans. We'll see. This is SL. :)
Guys, I've been living in Kandy for four months. Since the terrorist attacks. Everything has been DEAD. I pay $230 for a two bedroom house in the hills in the hills including internet. I have used none of your apps. Couch-surfing sucks here, but people I met through CS at least gave me tips and information to find my house. Trains are cheap. So are buses, but some can be terribly uncomfortable. My five month visa is running out so I'm going to Vietnam and Cambodia. I liked your food tour video with Vu so I contacted him. Couch-surfing seems to be better in Vietnam. Sri Lanka even before the terrorist attacks was at the bottom of the list in number of tourists coming which is weird considering how much Sri Lanka has to offer. Even little Maldives beat SL this year. I even got a private tour in Colombo of Arthur C. Clarke's house. The great scifi writer who lived here. I'm not really a tourist. But Adam's Peak has been the highlight of my trip here so far. No crowds. DEAD because of the troubles here. Going to the Buddhist cities next week and Jaffna. Lot's of scams in SL and it start's with the government. I have seen the good and the bad in SL. I live here. Trust me there's a lot of problems here, but the people for the most part are okay. M
Nice, long and informative video but at the end you finished it with "wait for the next country, it is going to be a good one". Feels like you did not like it there very much. There are many more things you could mention positive, which you clearly missed. Thanks for visiting anyway guys.
Yes. We have an epidemic of MikiDs, Pizza hut and other fast food joints. Other independent restaurants also offer Euro, Chinese, Japanese and other styles of food at various price points.
I am Sri Lankans. I feel sad and sympathetic towards tourists when they try to protect themselves from some of the scammers. I apologize for any inconvenience during your visit to Sri Lanka
@@IntAffair thank you sooo much for answering, well destinations, placed to avoid, must try, lets say a trip for 8 to 10 days, best transportation ect. love your videos best of luck
@@tarabdulqader2050 awesome! It's going to be a long video so may not be able to squeeze an itinerary in there but maybe we can do a separate itinerary video. Expect a LOT of great info in the NO BS Thailand guide...😃
Truly the most amazing place I have visited! I was there for 2 weeks and was an absolute paradise! You need to visit!👌👍🇦🇺
😍Wish we were at Matey Hut or REA right now...🤤

A very good place to visit. I love to go there and take some videos and pictures for my channel. Thank you.
You can drink tap water in the most of the areas in Sri Lanka. It's purified and hygiene.
Your videos are one of the best on UA-cam (great content, beautiful scenery, great editing and dope music)! LOVE these no BS guides.

Guys your series about Sri Lanka is amazing, great job, lots of valuable information about expenses and transportation. I am planning a trip for December and will use your tips! How about SIM cards? Did you buy a local one with data to use maps and booking websites? 😊
We didn't use a SIM card because one of our phones has an international plan and connects seamlessly. You could always just use Wifi 😃
Thanks for this video and content! My sister went to Sri Lanka about 7 years ago when it was even less discovered by tourism.
This definitely makes me want to go. We are very adventurous and ambitious travellers when we get away from our 9-5 but are looking for ways to go on adventurous holidays with a baby. Any advise? Thanks!

Awesome guys, I am sure finding clean toilets are still big challenge in SL, so be prepared.
Hi Jen,I noticed you mentioned doing a run training in Sri Lanka.Do you have any upcoming race?

Eat everything and talk to everyone. You'll discover a lot and meet great people! Oh yeah, and have a Lion stout (or 10)...🍻
Fantastic video - very informative! Thank you
