In this video, we take you on an exciting journey to Sri Lanka, a country that has been on our bucket list for years. Join us as we explore the rich history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking landscapes of this beautiful and diverse destination.
But before we dive in, we address some common concerns. Safety is always a priority, and we understand the worries associated with traveling to Sri Lanka. We provide important context about past events, such as the 2019 terror attacks and the impact of COVID-19 in 2020. Armed with our own research, we decided to embark on this adventure and bring our family along.
Our first stop is Kandy, the second largest city in Sri Lanka. We rented a van with a highly recommended driver who doubles as our tour guide. At an affordable cost of approximately $900 for two weeks, we set out to explore the wonders of Kandy and its surrounding areas.
In Kandy, we visit the city's most sacred site, the Temple of the Tooth. This revered Buddhist temple houses a significant relic, the sacred tooth of Buddha. We delve into the temple's history and its cultural and religious significance, as well as the customs of buying flowers as offerings.
Beyond the temple, we discover the unique cultural experiences that Sri Lanka offers. We introduce you to the ancient art form of batik, where wax is used to create intricate patterns on fabric. It's a great opportunity for our children to learn about and appreciate different cultures.
Immersing ourselves in local traditions, we attend a captivating cultural dance show, showcasing the national dance of Sri Lanka. The energy and talent displayed leave us in awe, and even our kids are captivated and want more.
While sharing our travel experiences, we shed light on the current state of Sri Lanka's economy. The country has faced significant financial challenges, especially due to the decline in tourism. We discuss the importance of tourism as an economic driver and its impact on local resources.
Throughout our journey, we encounter the warm hospitality of the Sri Lankan people. Despite economic hardships, they remain friendly and welcoming. We also appreciate the affordability of the country, from accommodation to food, allowing us to fully enjoy our time with the family.
In conclusion, Sri Lanka has captured our hearts with its beauty, diversity, and the genuine kindness of its people. We invite you to join us on this adventure as we explore more of what this incredible country has to offer. Stay tuned for more exciting videos as we continue our Sri Lankan exploration.

I just got back from SL a week ago, spent the whole month of May 2023 travelling around the country. It was wonderful, all back to normal and very safe. Plenty of tourists everywhere. The food was great, amazing scenery (from beautiful beaches to breathtaking mountains). Amazing cultural experiences with historical cities ( a country with thousands of yrs of civilization). The range of hotels are excellent, with wonderful high end boutique hotels everywhere. Colombo is now quite a hub for food and entertainment. The people are one of the most generous and hospitable on the planet. A small country but a lot to see. Highly recommended. Can't wait to go back.
Agree! It’s such a. Wonderful country. We had the most amazing experiences. We have a whole series coming out and can’t wait to show everyone how incredible it is. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the beautiful feedback , love from SL ❤💐❤💐❤
Love the feedback. Come back again
Thank you very much for your comment about my mother land. It is very safe country to travel. Most love from Sri Lanka and come again,
Thank you so much for the compliment! Welcome back to Pearl of the Indian Ocean - Sri Lanka!
Sri lanka is mainly a young tourist destination. Not a lot of families or elderly come to visit. But alot of adventurous young tourists come. Now alot of Russians have started to stay in the country for a long time. It's good because it brings a steady income to the country.
I am a teacher and I think world schooling is amazing. Your kids are learning so much. Sri Lanka looks absolutely amazing too.
Thanks for revealing the truth about Sri Lanka. It's one of the safer country in Asia to travel.

Thanks a lot for visiting us ❤
Thank you ❤🇱🇰
Welcome to sri lanka.kandy is my home town ❤
Thank you visiting Sri Lanka❤
Beautifull family..come back 😍
Here's some more interesting things about Kandy.
First of all, the lake in the city is not the "Bogambara Lake". It called "Kiri Muhuda" or it can simply translate to English as "Milk Ocean". This was built by king Keerthi Sri Rajasingha in Kandyan era. The original Bogambara lake is not visible in present because it was filled in the Britain colonial era. Now there is a Playground on top of it.
Also Kandy is the last kingdom of Sri Lanka. So the old palace also can be seen near the Temple of the Tooh.
About the Temple of the tooth, This is the most sacred place for the Buddhists all over the world. The palace was built by king Wimaladharmasooriya who was the founder of the Kandy kingdom.
About the current situation of the country, It's safe to say that you can visit and enjoy freely. Gas is bit too much pricey but it still cheaper than Europe. Also I highly recommend to visit Sri Lanka in late March to August, because of the cultural and religious festivals that you can only can see in Sri Lanka. Also during March to May full moon day, you can visit the "Sri Padaya" (Adam's Peak).

Just to correct something temple of tooth went from anuradhapura polonnaruwa kingdoms dambulla then finally it is brought to kandy, the tooth relic is not only religious object but it defined where the capital kingdom in sri lanka. It stopped after british invasion
Thank you for the clarification!

Yes, thank you for clarifying!
Kandy because the British could not pronounce Kande udarata...meaning Hill Kingdom which was Sri Lankas last kingdom.

In early May!
@@twinsonthego Were you here for a Wesak festival in 05th of May
Thanks 🌹🌹visit my country
We love it!
loads of mis-information about food and fuel shortages.
welcome to SRI LANKA and have a great holiday
Thank you!!!
Visit srilanka
$900 seems a rip off,
The "Crisis" is over ma'am, Srilankan economy is already recovering, you can read it in the news
I want to go to London but I don't have money, would you like to take me? Please I'm from Sri Lanka
I live in the UK and I'm Sri Lankan. I'm pretty sure that Sri Lanka is safer than the UK to walk anywhere you like. You can’t even leave ur Bike locked in the UK. Hahaha
Totally! Loved Sri Lanka
Sad about the terrorist attack.
Very sad
Embarrassed in your Presentation about my mother land
No watch it! It’s to show that it’s the most wonderful place to visit and everyone should go!
@@twinsonthego❤ From heart.. Sad how media show it to the world. SL people diserve more.
True😮
It’s very sad about the presentation 😢
@@twinsonthego it's OK we are still a developing country when people say you are from poor country it's kind of make you feel hurt but that's the truth our inflation is high food inflation is high but we are top in happiness index so i feel eventhough we are poor without money our people are trying to stay happy also few things to mention we have free education and free health care eventhough we are poor we have these two precious things most of developed countries don't provide free health care and free education until university. buddhism is one of the religion in Sri Lanka but can consider as main religion because highest percentage is following buddhism even buddhism can consider as a religion we can consider this gem as a philosophy which can make our life for more advancement and make more quality life. it's worth to read about buddhism and culture and history of this country
Buddhism is a philosophy. Philosophy of buddha says not to attach oneself. The tooth should not be something that people attach themselves to!!
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching!
oh cut the crap. Not all people can renounce everything! If I could, i'd go become a monk and attain nirvana!
Don't say lies idiot..😡lord budhdha's tooth is very important to us..
Sadly mistaken .Sorry for your little knowledge of the Buddhas teachings.
I disapprove with your assessment that Sri Lanka is extremely poor. I assume you have not yet visited the world's most impoverished countries to assess the ground truth.
I am a Sri Lankan who has traveled to over 100 countries and is well-known for my ground realities.
What’s Your agenda of making this video? Srilanka gets lots of income from Tourism alone. Do you want Srilanka to beg the west?
What the hell we should thank them ❤
❤❤❤
