Poor Zae looked so sad when you couldn’t go out at night 🥲🙃 train ride looked soooo amazing!!! Love all the adventures you’re going on 💜
We were both looking forward to going out at night, because the centre of Ella is so beautiful and we would’ve loved to show it, but the rain ended up getting in the way.
Colombo - Batticaloa. Colombo - Jaffna. Colombo- Ella. Colombo - Trincomale are some of the best rail journeys in the country that takes you to some of the exotic destinations in the country.
Unfortunately we already left Sri Lanka, but when we return, we would love to check out some of the rail journeys you mentioned, because we love travelling through countries via train. It gives you a great opportunity to relax and discover the landscapes and countryside.
A New Ella train is started this week just for tourists called Ella Odyssey
Oh wow!! That’s great to hear. Sounds like we just missed it, but we are planning on returning to Sri Lanka in the future, so maybe we’ll check that one out then 😊
Brilliant , you guys are just experiencing how life goes in this part of the world , the bus, train rides , the roads , the toilets etc. Of course , it was tired and uncomfortable for you . But , to be honest , it is much improved now than a couple of decades ago. Anyway , just try to enjoy what you're exploring . Good luck . 👍
We enjoy it all and we love doing exactly what the locals do! We love the authentic experience. Thank you so much!
Enjoy with srilankan amazing food and happy journey. Welcome back to srilankan ❤🇱🇰🇱🇰🙏🤝
Thank you so much! We LOVE it and we will be back in the future ♥️
you accidentally started the devil's staircase hike by missing the entrance. If you continue the road up the mountain you can go to hortain plains or ohiya railway station.
and the views along the devil's staircase are breathtaking.
Oh! Thanks for the info, we didn’t know 😢 It was still stunning anyways. If we ever find out way back there, we’ll make sure to be on the lookout for the proper route.
Yes. Was about to say the same.
Great video. i remember riding a local bus between cities in Panama once, It was more like a van with sliding doors, of course all the doors are wide open and i,m in the seat at the door, lets just say its a little unnerving going 80 kilometres an hour around bends sitting in the open door seat of a packed van. Keep up the great videos.
Sounds like you had a similar experience to us! Quite interesting how different countries have drastically different rules and safety regulations (or lack thereof). We have many videos coming and we’re glad you’re enjoying them Chris!
@@AttilaAndZae They are informative, and very entertaining. I,ll keep watching. And
hoping for the best for your father.
Thank you so much Chris.
Since you are going to ella i am sure you will visit most common places like , 9 arch bridge , ella rock , little adams peek and rawana falls , but let me suggest some hidden gems , Try Upper diyaluma - Its a beautiful waterfall with amazing natural pons where you can swim and have amazing experience.its very close to ella, so you can go there as a day trip, but If you can rent out camping supllies (ask from the hotel or google the area ) definitely go camping on top of Diyaluma falls for a night , its one of the best camping sites in the country and many people camp there as well
I’m sad that we’re reading this comment after we already left Sri Lanka, because that camping experience would have been incredible. We will try to do a camping experience at one point during our trip for sure.
Go to Diyaluma waterfalls. Lot of natural pools
Thank you for the suggestion! Unfortunately, we already left Sri Lanka and we’re at our next destination, but next time we visit that’ll be on our list.
Hello Nice to see you guys again. Those privet bus drivers are crazy because they need to earn money. Government buses are Ok to travel. Those are Red color buses with SLTB sign with a Lion LOGO. You also have luxury air con buses too. They are little expensive to your budget. I think you guys traveled in 3rd class from Kandy to Alla. The first class ticket is around Rs:1000 ( $5US) and you can reserve your seat. Nice video and Nice food too. The Roti and samosas and kotthu roti are great. You can have those in Scarborough, Ontario too. There are so many SL Tamil restaurants there in Canada too. Please enjoy and stay safe.
We love the buses and the availability of transportation to get around in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰! We live about 4 hours away from Toronto (in Windsor) and we visit often. Attila’s sister used to live downtown Toronto for 4-5 years.
Welcome to Srilanka
Have a great time
Safe journey 🙏
Thank you so much Nalin, we love Sri Lanka
Please post short clips in toktok , There Many youtubers roaming in the country and many of us know them by name. Ali "machan" is one of such youtuber who started a fresh account and gained 40K subs within a month just because we sri lankans love to watch these vlogs which are kinda wholesome to us. You can easily convert crowd from Tiktok to RUclips , mark my word
We are on all social media and are trying to grow. We appreciate all the Sri Lankan people so much because you guys helped us greatly. We are almost at 1000 subscribers and we never thought we’d get there so quickly. Thank you 🙏🏼
Love the adventures and your positivity
Thank you so much Pali 🙏🏼
Wonderful train ride. My favorite. If you are still in Central Of Sri Lanka try to visit Trincomalee Beaches, Batticaloa Beaches
We already left Sri Lanka unfortunately, and we did plan on visiting Trincomalee, but we didn’t make it there. Some of the things in our plans fell through, because we started to run out of time or we couldn’t find a quick and easy way to get to them.
@@AttilaAndZae ok Goodluck Bro and Sis
Enjoy your time😘 much love from sri lanka 🇱🇰😍
Thank you!!
What the hake. Even buses n trains in London fully packed in the morning n the evening office n school rush hours
Rush hour is just the worst everywhere 😅
Beautiful v.log...welcome to sri lanka ..enjoy beautiful nature
Thank you!
@@AttilaAndZae welcome
To add some more information about the trains from Kandy to Badulla, there are several trains that you can take. All these trains have 1st, 2nd and 3rd class compartments that can be reserved early. You can make a reservation using the train station booking counter or via a mobile phone using the Mobitel/dialog network. Recently the've introduced online booking as well but not sure if that's fully operational yet.
Train 1 - departs from Kandy - 3:35 AM
Train 2 - departs from Kandy - 7:00 AM (Elle Odecee tourist train 1st and 2nd class only - limited stops + short stops at multiple attractions )
Train 3 - departs form Kandy - 8:46 AM (Podi manike express train from Colombo)
Train 4 - departs form Kandy - 11:03 AM (Udarata manike express train from Colombo)
Train 5 - departs from PERADENIYA (15 mins away from Kandy) - 12:30 PM (consisting of an Observation saloon at the end of the train - ideal for panoramic views)
Panoramic views would have been amazing! Thank you for the tip 🙂
Zae is looking amazing 😜
Beautiful vlog ..enjoy ur stay in sri lanka
Thank you!
Just amazing
Glad you enjoyed it! The ride was incredible 😊
I invite you to visit beautiful Gartmore Falls & moragakanda dam road..!
Unfortunately we already left Sri Lanka, but we will add those locations to our list for next time we visit.
So beautiful video.you too😊💜️
Thank you ❤️❤️
ok.. another vlog found... Hope u enjoying sl
Nice vlog 🇱🇰❤️
Wonder how you guys missed Ravana falls which almost at the center of Ella
We didn’t have time to see everything, we made the best of it! We’ll be back to Sri Lanka at some-point and we’ll be sure to check it out. 😊
Noticed you guys are mostly eating from local street side shops , if you only eat SL cuisine yes most of them are on the spicy side (except sweets of course) but if you know what to eat you can select and eat mild dishes as well, example dhal curry, white potatoes curry, kiri Hodi curry (coconut) certain veggies curries will also have bit of spice kick to them so all these roadside shops all the savory food items will be bit spicy or lot spicy , them you always have options in other international fast food brands available and in popular towns will always have western food options like Ella , south coast plenty of options they will be expensive if you compare with roadside cafes but still cheap when you convert to $$$ all depends what and how much you wanna spend all options are available in tourist areas cheers
We try to eat authentic food where ever we go, don’t get us wrong we love spicy, just took a little to get use to the higher level of spicy here! The Sri Lankan food was amazing 🤩
@@AttilaAndZae true they do go overboard with chilies at times I personally too don’t like it always in every food item tc enjoy ur next designation
Thank you!
Wormly welcome srilanka ❤️
Thank you so much 🙏🏼

❤️
wow
very peautiful 👍, from Swiss,,iam srilanka
Thank you!
Nice vlog💜
Thank you!
sad to hear that you already left Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
We’re on a one year journey and only have so much time in each country. We LOVED Sri Lanka! We’ll be back some day 🙂
Did you lodge a complaint to the tourist police in Sigiriya?
We did not
1st ❤
In Sri lanka every thing is very law cost. So you can choose tuk tuk for your journeys. If you need facilitis then choose tuk tuk or a car. those are very law cost. And also you book seets on train for very law cost. See others how they do.
We used trains and tuktuks the whole time we were there!
Nice vlog... what is ur camera ?
We are using a few cameras. Our main camera is the Sony A7S III on the DJI Ronin SC gimbal, we also use an iPhone 11 Pro Max for some shots, we have the GoPro Hero 10 Black that we also use in some videos along with other equipment.
@@AttilaAndZae oh thats great... hope u enjoy being in srilanka... 😍
@@AttilaAndZae and there' s a video in my channel that i have done in ella. Check that out if u r still in srilanka...
Thank you!
hello A & Z .. i felt really sad about your lost drone in last video. when i started to watch this video first couple of minutes i saw sorrow in your faces but i kept watching the video for like 10 mins and i couldn't handle my emotions & thought whenever i saw you guys so i stopped and cooked a meal for myself to calm down. i feel really sorry about you since you lost your precious drone in our country that was the thing i felt very sad about. after finishing my meal i watched your whole video your happy faces end of the video made me smile.
but i have to ask why didn't you inform about your drone to the authorities (police or your hotel manager/owner). our country doesn't have strict drone regulations unless it's a high security zone like parliament so sigiriya (lion rock) is not a high security zone and even if you guys did some minor offense you have a leeway/freedom as tourists. our tourists regulations are also not that strict so please contact with tourism board/department and ask what you can do to recover your drone guys don't be afraid... love from sri lanka
We didn’t think to tell the authorities because it was lost in the jungle and we assumed it was caught in a tree somewhere, we also didn’t want to get in trouble and we were leaving Sri Lanka and couldn’t stay. Maybe we made a mistake by not telling anyone but that’s a lesson we learned for next time. Thank you for being so caring and concerned for us! ❤️
❤❤❤💯💯
😍
Well come 👩⚕️
Thank you 🥰
is that okay to re edit your videos and uploading to youtube? You can claim the revenue.
❤ 🇱🇰 ❤❤❤
Always travel Ella kandy instead of kandy Ella also travel 2nd class it’s only 500 rs per head
We will definitely consider trying that next time we visit, but this time we had planned it this way. It was still very beautiful 😍
👍👍👍👍
Are you still in Sri Lanka? Thank you for visiting Sri Lanka #neosrilanka #mycityxyz #Vlogmoxyz
No, we left. We have one more video coming out about Colombo though! This was not our last time being in the country, we loved it and will definitely back again🇱🇰😊
@@AttilaAndZae thank you.we are really appreciate your reply
💐❤
❤️
14:33
11:38 you were wearing your helmet the wrong way! Must be careful
Zae’s bad!! We were wondering why it was sliding backwards 😂
2:00 welcome to sri lankan public transport 🤧😅
It can definitely get pretty wild at times 😂
Your boy friend is handsome
WtF you already have 133 videos and still 900 subs. Probably somethings need to change..
A lot of those videos are for RUclips shorts. We recently got the majority of our subscribers from the incredible people of Sri Lanka and we will continue working hard to grow our RUclips channel and be able to show people the world 🌍 🗺
Just try. I think this way will be good for you. Your footages and the way you doing the video is very good. But Limit the full video duration between 10- 15 minutes. Cut all clips that repeat the same thing or same idea. Try to not to boring in every second. Use the subtitles when audio not clear and when the voice come in the background. Try to cut every clip between 1-10 seconds. Then it will be not boring. these things will be fit to youtube algorithm and u will be lot success. Thank u
Thank you for all of your suggestions! 🙏
dont make it likea news report guys just keep it natural rather then delivering weather report kinda thing
We’re just try to be informative as well as showing our experiences. We’re trying to improve everyday, thank you for the constructive criticism 🙂
