Welcome to Sri Lanka!
This island off the coast of India has long been on my bucket-list for loads of reasons, like having the best safari outside of Africa, boasting eight UNESCO World Heritage sites to explore, and lots of lovely, gorgeous beaches complete with idyllic white sand and crystal clear water that's perfect for surfing.
In fact, for an island about a ¼ of the size of the UK, there's loads to see and do, depending, of course, on what you want out of your trip.
Coming up, I'm going to tell you about getting here, some tips on transport, then some stuff on food, money and language and some awesome places to visit.
So, let's get on with it…
We flew 10 hours direct from Heathrow to Colombo, which is Sri Lanka’s capital city. Flights arrive at Bandaranaike International airport, which is 30km north of the city.
Taxis are very cheap in Sri Lanka, and this can be the easiest, and certainly quickest way to reach your destination from the airport. If you’re heading straight into Colombo you can catch the express bus which takes about 25 minutes, but to be honest the taxis are so cheap it’s a no-brainer.
To enter the country, you’re gonna need a visa. Now this can be done when you get here, but, after ten hours in the air ..why bother with the extra admin!?
Get it done before you leave. Applications cost $35 and take around 24 hours to process.
Also, you’re gonna need to make sure that your vaccinations are up to date, like your tetanus and typhoid. Check with your GP beforehand.
What do you need to know about public transport in Sri Lanka? Well, in all honesty, quite a bit…
Public transport conditions aren't great, but are popular with locals as it's very cheap.
Buses tend to leave when they’re full, so for anyone on a schedule we’d give them a miss.
Also, trains are often slower and less efficient than simply getting a taxi.
My advice: take anything described as luxury or express with a generous pinch of salt.
The key thing in Sri Lanka is that your money goes a long way, for example our two-hour taxi from Colombo to Unawatuna cost 9000 rupees, which is about 40 quid, so for this reason we made the most of getting around with private car hire and tuk-tuks.
Hiring a driver to chauffeur you around is surprisingly affordable and, let's face it, way more luxurious! It's also a big timesaver which is a massive a bonus.
The roads are in surprisingly good condition...
...just watch out for the tourists, the cyclists, the buffalo, stray dogs, and massive lizards they all make it a little hair-raising at times.
We used Uber to navigate Colombo and Red Cabs for everywhere else.
Failing that you could always haggle for a tuk tuk, which are ideal for quick journeys. There are a couple of things you need to know before you start off. Number 1 always agree the price before settings off and number 2 be direct about where you want to go, don’t settle for any detours or any other places they might want to take you.
Anyway, up next, here are some of my favourite things to do in Sri Lanka.
Unawatuna is loved by locals and tourists alike, and with palm trees, white sands and blue waters, it's easy to see why it’s one of Sri Lanka’s most popular beaches.
Right behind the beach is a small shopping strip for souvenirs and restaurants...
… And Ladies, going topless on the beach is a definite no-no, and if you're a couple, make the P in PDA stand for PRIVATE, not PUBLIC.
OK, Newsflash!!! Sri Lanka has the best safari outside of Africa since the country has one of the highest rates of indigenous plants and animals in the world. Udawalawe National Park is a personal highlight of mine and home to some 200 different species.

SRILANKA, a complete visual tour/must watch before you shoot your video.
SRILANKA is a perfect travel haven. I travelled the entire island twice for 15 days to present this video. Once by car and the other as a backpacker. All the famous, hidden and secret spots were explored.
Amazing wildlife, scenic landscapes, perfect holiday/family vacation and adventure activities fill the Srilankan island. I've listed all the best places for different attractions below. Watch this video and prepare for the visuals you are going to capture. I love Srilanka and everything about it.
The one big Srilankan emotion that captured me is the storyline for this video.
There are so many travel videos but mine is more of an artistic impression. Happy Holiday.

Transcript by comebackata2
We think of time as a one way motion. From the past, through the present, and on into the future. And that carries along with it another impression, which is to say, that life moves from the past into the future in such a way that what happens now and what will happen is always the result of what has happened in the past. We tend to regard ourselves as puppets of the past, driven along by something that is always behind us. Because I want to turn the thing around and picture it the other way! And say, the past is the result of the present! Flowers are brilliantly colored The Stars are gorgeous The smell of the earth and the sound of the rain. Everything is marvelous once again! Once again you see the other. The man, the woman that you love.

Refreshingly Sri Lanka – Wonder of Asia!
Ticket Bookings: Self
Travel Package: Traveltriangle.com (Wonderous Holidays wondrousholiday.com)
Take US Dollars along and you can then convert USD to LKR in Sri Lanka (Pinnawala recommended). Or else check with your driver. He can take you to local vendors. You are likely to get a better rate if you convert USD to LKR. Also, carry some INR and your debit cards also usually work in some places (in case of emergency)
Food: If you are a curry rice or fried rice fan, you can survive. Sea food is good, but only in selective places. Do not drink regular water. Buy packaged drinking water from super markets that you see on your way. 80 LKR for 1.5 ltr bottle.
Sim Card: Dialog Sim is good and take a usual pack. You can read charge later if you want.
Tip: People expect tip even if they say bless you on your sneeze and mind you they don't want a small tip. #srilankadiaries
Outfits: Sri Lanka's temperature is a bit hot and humid throughout the year. But Nuwara Eliya is like a hill station. Temperature ranges between 16-18 degree C at night. So packing a Hoodie is a good idea. Sunscreen and shades (maybe a hat/cap) is going to save you for sure.

Adam's Peak Prophet Adam (A.S.) Foot Print சிவனொளி பாதமலை Sri Pada සමනළ කන්ද
Adam's Peak (also Sri Pada; Sinhalese Samanalakanda - සමනළ කන්ද butterfly mountain, and also ශ්රී පාදය Sri Paadaya; Tamil Sivanolipatha Malai - சிவனொளி பாதமலை. Prophet Adam Alayhi Salam (A.S.) Hazrath Adam Alayhi Salam, Adam's Footprint - موطئ قدم آدم في سيريلانكا - نبي الله آدم عليه السلام
Sri Lanka. It is well known for the Sri Pada, i.e., sacred footprint,Arabic Jabal Adam جبل آدم - This footprint, measuring
5’7” by 2’6” is believed to be the footprint of the Prophet Adam (upon him be peace) who was said to be 60 cubits tall. It is located on the top of a mountain in Sri Lanka called Adam’s Peak (also known as Sri Pada – the Holy Footprint). For Hindus, the name of the mountain is Sivan Adi Padham, because it was the world-creative dance of the god Shiva that left the giant footprint . Budhdhists call it Footprint of Budhdha.
Muslims and Christians believe it is the foot print of Prophet Adam Alayhi Salam (A.S.) (Peace Be Upon Him). Hindus believe it is the left foot print of the God Shiva. Buddhists believe it is the foot print of the Buddha also Sri Pada. King Valagamba (1st century BCE) built this Sri Pada Buddhist Temple.
