    Nice video especially the drone footage. I’m in Dambulla now and heading to Sigiriya soon. For those on a tighter budget, combo of 2nd class train ($1.25) and local bus ($1) gets you to Dambulla in 2024. Private room is $5.25/night at Robert Inn, one of many offerings.
    Looking forward to an açai bowl I heard they have them in Sigiriya. ❤ Thanks for the great footage and preview. I’d love to do the pre-sunrise hike but no idea how to set that up. I did that at Vulcan Baru in Panama and it was epic.(though the hike is longer, you start at 11pm the night before)

    • @Joelfriend
      @Joelfriend  10 месяцев назад +1

      We went through a local provider and booked through our guesthouse, so I am unsure of the name. We didn’t find it too busy with jeeps as there are so many elephants jeeps do tend to spread out a fair amount. However, we did do it just before the main tourist season so maybe that effects I’m not sure if there any limits on jeeps in the park or not

    Your videos are excellently put together but personally I feel they miss something (as with many Travel Vlogger videos) - there doesn't seem to be any kind of understanding or explanation of the place you're visiting. Just a couple of minutes explaining the history of the place I think not only informs your viewers, but is also respectful of these historic places you're visiting. I was lucky enough to go 20 years ago when crowds weren't an issue. An early start a smart move!
