Why to visit Sri Lanka ?

Pagoda in Sri Lanka
It's difficult to answer to this question in one sentence. There are many reasons to do that.  You can see the ancient world with the buildings before our century. It's hard to beleive, but there is a lot of buildings in Sri Lanka wich was build about 200 or 300 years before our century and they a still in quite good conditions.

Buddha dambula


Or you can watch to lot's of famous Buddha statues all around the Sri Lanka. You will lot's of them there. All sizes from smallest to 40 meters, made of stone and gold, wood and bones. 


Elphans ride in Sigheria


You can ride a beautiful elephants in Sigiriya. Elephants was a domestic animals in Sri Lanka, but right now the Sri Lankian law forbid to have an elephant as a domestic animals.  It means that all elephants that local peoples have in their houses is the last domestic elephants on Sri Lanka. 10 or maybe 20 years, and all of them will die. After it only wild elephants will stay alive in wild nature. No more private rides, no more funny jokes. It's you chance to make a ride and to catch it on video Maybe your children will not have so nice ride, Cause no more elephants stay alive.


Jungle Beach Unawatuna


And of course you must visit the real Jungle Beach of Unawatuna. It's a really wild place ! The only way to get to the beach is a boat. You need to arrange a private trip to beach and back.  It will cost you about 50$-80$ but it worst it. When I've been there in March I saw nobody there, only our company of friends a Lankian guy who take as there.

Sri Lanka is a Paradise for you!



Do you ever imagine about the place where you can enjoy your life as you are in Paradise ?

No, I’m not talking about the high class 5+++ star’s hotels, long yachts and other glamour life things. I want you to know about the place on earth where you can feel yourself like on heaven, without spending billions of dollars and pounds.

The name of this place is not a secret – Sri Lanka. Believe me it’s true.

May be your first sight on this country will not impress you. Maybe yes or maybe not. Who knows. I recommend you to take a tour throw all the country, better to buy a real interesting tour with private guide for not more that 10 people. Make your own plan and visit this places without rush. Stay as long as you desire, talk to the people make photos and videos. When you on Sri Lanka you must forget about all this continental life. Peoples who lived in Sri Lanka are absolutely happy cause they didn’t try to buy all new collections from D&G and Gucci. They don’t mind the model of you car because they didn’t need it. They have everything to enjoy their life’s in this nice and charming place. The sun, the ocean, the palms. It’s hard to believe but 250$ per month is enough to have you own room with fan, and have quite good meal 3 times a day. Plenty of fresh fruits for your health. Fresh fish and seafood. Weird vegetables with no English names. Everything like on another planet and not so far away from continent.

I just start this blog, cause I want to share my experience on living in Sri Lanka with you. And probably you will find my advices and notes useful for your own new life experience.

Sincerely yours, Barada.
