Colombo to Jaffna Road Trip | Sri Lanka Travel Vlog

I loved my short stay in Colombo, and it was soon time to move on to our next destination - Jaffna! Since the air taxis as well as trains weren't functional then due to covid restrictions, we decided to do a road trip - a very long road trip across the country.
We, of course, stopped at many locations, ate some of the best food, drank quite a few king coconuts and also flew drones. The journey took us 12 hours, but surprisingly I wasn't so tired at the end of the day.

Can you share some info about carrying a drone, any issues u faced or do we need to take any permission, which drone u used?

Very nice video!! 🤟 Sir, I am planning a trip as well and would love to do a road trip...Could you kindly share the details about booking a self drive car and also if indian license in English is eligible there?

[@SiddharthaJoshiFilms]

I didn’t self drive so don’t exactly know the rules of driving licence validity. I asked my friends in SL, and they suggested I can know about it more here:
Automobile Association of Ceylon
