Let’s go to Sri Lanka, a beautiful island country in the Indian Ocean! The happiest remote place in the world!
Deeper, closer, to Sri Lanka!
Let’s go to Sri Lanka, where you can see the natural environment where the ocean and tropical mountains are in harmony, the history and culture of the Indian Ocean island nation, and everything from wild animals to extreme jobs in remote areas!
Extreme jobs in the wilderness! Kandy, Ratnapura, Nuwara Eliya
The remote Knuckles Range, a vast tropical mountain range
Wildlife paradise, Pinnawala and Yala National Park
Take the train to Ojiro, Colombo, Lambukhana, Ambewela, Labugolla, Ella
The journey begins in Colombo, the administrative capital and commercial center of Sri Lanka. Climb the Colombo Fort Clock Tower, Colombo’s landmark, and take a look around downtown Colombo. The next destination is Pettah Market, the largest traditional market in Sri Lanka! At the market, taste Sri Lankan coconuts, Thembili, and red bananas. After that, head to Colombo Fort Railway Station to go to Kandy.
While sharing mangoes with local passengers on the train, we hear that we can see wild elephants, so we change our destination. We get off at Rambukkana Railway Station and head to the elephant hotel in front of the Maha Oya River. From the elephant hotel, we take pictures of elephants from the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage bathing.
Get back on the train and head to Pattipola Railway Station, the highest railway station in Sri Lanka. After getting off, head to Ambewela Farm, Sri Lanka’s little New Zealand, and enjoy the scenery of the Sri Lankan highland hills.
Get off at Nanuoya Railway Station and head to the black tea café in Labugolla. There, you will learn how to drink black tea properly and savor the black tea. After drinking the black tea, you will head to the tea plantation and pick tea leaves with local workers. You will be invited to the home of the locals who picked tea leaves with you and have dinner and taste roti, a South Asian wheat bread.
The final destination is the magnificent 91m high Nine Arches Bridge! The Nine Arches Bridge is a bridge built with bricks and cement without steel or concrete during the British colonial period. We end this journey on the Nine Arches Bridge train tracks, where many people gather to see the scenery from above.
