Wow excellent Joel! Really informative and I'll definitely check it out when I'm back in Sri Lanka 😍 Btw 100k eek 👀 (Ps the video would only play in 720p for me?)
I’m a Sri Lankan and trust me I never knew that Archaeological view point exists. Most of the time people climb Pidurangala rock to see Sigiriya. Thank you for showing that view point
Very well done. I hope you tip those tuk tuk drivers and the servers of those small eateries and restaurants. A lot of them depend on your generosity. Their smiles full of gratitude will melt your heart. I always remind my friends visiting Sri Lanka of this fact.
Thank you for the lovely video and loving our countries most significant archaeological site visit our country again there are so many places of historical value gor you all to see
Thankyou brother because after long time I was seeing my country almost more than 5years it's really make me cry really. Make me go to my childhood it's onley memories. I wanna go to my country. It's a true heaven now I understand how it is. Thank you again. We meet soon enjoy your life al the best. great to see you in my mother heaven as brother. Highly regards from someone from far away from mother land as a brother
Hey joel I’ve watched your videos about Bali and they were THE BEST Very informative and helpful And now i downloaded all your Sri Lanka vlogs to whatch them again on the flight It will be my only source Thanks and keep the good work up 👏🏽👏🏽
These buses are so cheaper. You can't compare the facilities of these with UK or USA buses which are sooooo expensive. You can rent a car or a cab for comfortable travelling. That's the best thing.... Have an enjoyable time with a lot of sweet memories ❤❤❤❤
Nice video especially the drone footage. I’m in Dambulla now and heading to Sigiriya soon. For those on a tighter budget, combo of 2nd class train ($1.25) and local bus ($1) gets you to Dambulla in 2024. Private room is $5.25/night at Robert Inn, one of many offerings. Looking forward to an açai bowl I heard they have them in Sigiriya. ❤ Thanks for the great footage and preview. I’d love to do the pre-sunrise hike but no idea how to set that up. I did that at Vulcan Baru in Panama and it was epic.(though the hike is longer, you start at 11pm the night before)
Hey, not sure how to get coordinates from the map just looked at it on google maps and it’s called ‘Little Pidurangala’ on there, if you go to this spot you should then recognise the sign from the video! ☺️
Wow guys great adventure tour to sigiriya its near to my home town ..... Some time before there were huge bee hives and many people got hurt by bees so they are still available around the rock so its advisable to keep quite while touring its quite irritating though 😂 Enjoy the paradise srilanka warmly wellcome you guys
Hi! Which company did you go on safari with in Sigiriya? And what was the name of the park? I’m wondering if you experienced that is was crowded of jeeps or did you felt the safari was ethical for the animals? ☺️🐘
We went through a local provider and booked through our guesthouse, so I am unsure of the name. We didn’t find it too busy with jeeps as there are so many elephants jeeps do tend to spread out a fair amount. However, we did do it just before the main tourist season so maybe that effects I’m not sure if there any limits on jeeps in the park or not
Nice drone shots wow ! I have a question : did u need any authorizations for flying your drone around the sigiriya's head or can u just fly it from your secret viewpoint
It was decided to use a small part of your video for an academic test of a group of students studying DTTEHM at Colombo University. Is that not a problem for you? Your permission would be greatly appreciated and we appreciate your creativity and dedication. May you have the strength and courage to complete more works like this! 🇱🇰

Your videos are excellently put together but personally I feel they miss something (as with many Travel Vlogger videos) - there doesn't seem to be any kind of understanding or explanation of the place you're visiting. Just a couple of minutes explaining the history of the place I think not only informs your viewers, but is also respectful of these historic places you're visiting. I was lucky enough to go 20 years ago when crowds weren't an issue. An early start a smart move!
I am a sri lankan. 9nce you said in the vedio that board shows to be silence.. but you said why need to silence..huge bees are there.. if you make noice they will attack you.. that's why that board shows keep quite.. ok
Great video, Sri Lanka looks amazing ! (Kudos to Emilia’s dad too for the handstands !}

Can you give me the coordinates of Mapagala archealogical site? Couldnt find on maps
Hey, not sure how to get coordinates from the map just looked at it on google maps and it’s called ‘Little Pidurangala’ on there, if you go to this spot you should then recognise the sign from the video! ☺️
Wow guys great adventure tour to sigiriya its near to my home town .....

HEY DO YOU SELL CLIPS OF YOUR DRONE?
Nice one bro
Thanks for the visit
@@Joelfriend No. Thank you so much. For visiting our little island and show it to the world.
@manjuarun1550 ☺️🤟🏼
Bro I went to sigiriya at may 4
Use uber in the cities in sri lanka! So much cheaper
Ahh yes! We used pickme for tuktuks as well! We found Uber’s were harder to get
Yeah. Uber only works for main cities. You can find pickme rides everywhere.
We are Sri Lankans 💓
Yeww! 🙌🏼

Be quiet sign because there are big size bee hieves nearby do not like noice they attacked visitors rairly before
Oh right, do bees not like noise? They sure can make a lot of noise themselves 🤣😅
❤️🇱🇰🎁🙋♂️👏👏👏👍
try breaking silence and keep shouting. you'll get the answer bro..
Segiriya ticket from local 100 rupees but by forigners they charge 9656.19 very unreasonable shame on my country people 😠
😢😢
ඒක විතරයි පොඩ්ඩක් හරි වැඩී...අනිත් ඒවා මේගොල්ලන්ට ගොඩක්ම ලාබයි.👍
Nope Sigiriya is not worth 🙄🤔
why
