See!
We are slowly coming to the level of the clouds
We had come from that road
Good morning and Asslamoalikum! (greetings) everyone
And welcome back to my channel "Being A traveler"
I am Bilal Azam and you all are watching my Sri Lanka's series
And we are traveling for 2-3 days ...
I am traveling with Amit brother
Amit is from Chandigarh (India) and I am from Lahore (Pakistan)
And we are exploring Sri Lanka's culture and villages on this rented bike
Yesterday, we left from Negombo and Colombo, and visited Pinnawala
So
This is Eden Lodge near to Elephant's Orphanage
A small Lodge but with beautiful view
And there was wonderful sunrise in the morning
And here is their rice fields
We have packed our luggage
Their rooms were great and spacious from inside
So, we waked up early in the morning and did some editing
After editing some vlog, we are leaving Pinnawala
And our next target city is "Dambulla"
Is it Dambulla?
Dambulla?
Yea, there is a proper way to pronounce
We can't say like Dabola, Dabola
You have to say Dambulla
Dambulla
You have to pronounce it like that
Dambulla
So, there is "LA" in their most of the words
And there is a proper accent to pronounce it
If you don't speak like that, then they can't understand properly
I am enjoying a lot in learning this language
And I am also trying to show you
So, today we are going to Dambulla
Dambulla. ..
We will take multiple stops on our way
In fact, We are showing you Sri Lanka
So
We don't choose any special destination
I just select that city which is 100 Km far
Before going there, i check for hotel on Booking.com
I get decent discount
Firstly, we have to do breakfast
How can a Lahore's person don't do breakfast in the morning
Breakfast was very tasty
I am full now
And look at this
I like this thing in Sri Lanka is that
There are small clouds, every time in the sky
Suddenly clouds ...
And
It is too much hot for standing only 2 minutes in sun
So. , we are going from their town
Town's name is like ... "Rambukkana"
We have left Pinnawala
There is something written on boards
Amit bro! Read name on boards
This is "Rambukkana" road
Yea, "Rambukkana"
Amit bro! We also have to drink coconut water
Which we drank yesterday ... When we need it
But now we need tea
And I want to drink milk tea not that Ceylon tea
So, Sun is gone and now the weather is calm
Look at these roads! Wow
We are traveling in the center of Sri Lanka towards Dambulla, as you can see in map
So, Dambulla is towards center
In the center of their map, there are mountains
And there are sea on its side
So I like this diversity in this country
Okay!
Ayubuwan (Hello)
Ok ... So this is Kottu machine
They puts roti from this side and then this machine crushes it
Its good
Oh! Its very sweet
This is pink "Jalebi"
And they call it "Penniwalalu"
It is not like our Jalebi
Its flavor is like sour ...
and
It is sour like orange
Means it is not sweet like ours
It feels like there is also lemon salt in it
There both things were delicious
Tea was so sweet
There were too much sugar in it, It seems me like I have drunk sugar drink
But Penniwala ...
What was that, Yea "Penniwalalu" (Jalebi) was tasty
So guys, We were drinking coconut drink from here
so his daughter is also here
She is a school teacher and teaches English
Lets talk to her
So, she is Rohi ...
Rohini
I was saying Mohni
She is Rohini
And Rohini! What do you do?
I am an English teacher, In free time I helps my father
So, She is saying that "She is an English teacher,
Whenever she's free, She come here to help her father"
So You are teaching to O-level students ... or?
Everyone!
Everyone
English Language?
Yes
Great
Your English is so nice
Thankyou
Your English is good
Stutiyi (Thank You)
Thankyou!
Very
Very thankful
Yes very thankful
And in Sinhala language you say "very" as "weddi"?
Goda
Goda? or Eddi?
Weddi is like same but we use "Goda"
Ok, "Goda Stutiyi" means very thankful
Or can we also say Weddi Stutiyi?
No! its not matching
Okay, It is not matching
Okay, nice to meet you
So, let's go and ...
Dambulla is ...
It will take 2 hours or 1 to go to Dambulla?
1 hour
Well, Coconut water was very tasty
Whenever we told someone that I am from Pakistan and Amit is from India
Then Sri Lankan's get shocked that how can an Indian and Pakistani travel together
They also know that there is some disagreement between and India and Pakistan
So, how are we friends?
But then they get to know that, Travelers do not fight
So, Anyways we enjoyed a lot
Now lets move towards Dambulla
This is another city
This is very populated city
Amazing
We reached at Lotus tourist resort
They named it resort, but this is like resort
And hotel Sudhunilap
Oh, What is this?
Is this Resort?
Yes, you get off
Are we got scammed?
I dont know, I have strange feelings
What is this?
Oh, Its here
This is reception
There is a broken chair
Alright guys! We have reached Dambulla
This is like small guest house
And we got a room for only $ 5
Which is equal to 1000 LKR
So, After placing our bags
We had some rest and there is also very hot
So it is 4:30 PM
We waked up and decided to visit Dambulla town
And will visit Buddha Cave Temple
And then we will go Dambulla town and lets see what will we got there
Because we are hungry
So, Amit bro! Are you ready?
He is almost ready
Lets ready our bike
And Lets go
This wall ...
This is also known as cave temple
"Buddha cave temple"
Or it is also known as Golden Buddha temple
People are wearing white dresses here
This is Buddha
In camera, it is small, but actually it is very big
People are going up from there
And
There are also
In cave temple
Lets go
I hate to climb stairs
Finally, We are almost at top
Here is a wonderful view
After coming a long way towards the top,
We have reached cave entering point
And there is a temple in cave, inside the mountain
Its getting ready to take off
As the fire intensifies, the balloon will go up
because the balloon will fill with hydrogen gas,
and hydrogen is lighter than air
Well, they started these two balloons for now
There is another company, I guess it is also a Turkish company
Because they have the most experience in balloon flying
Hopefully, it will come to Pakistan one day
I was thinking that they ties this balloon somewhere
I saw a rope but it is somethin g else
But it is moving freely
Means, It moves in the direction of air
And there is also a lake in front of us
It can also land there
You can see these two rocks
These are Sigiriya line rocks
In next vlog we will go there because These two are my favorite places
See!
We are slowly coming to the level of the clouds
We had come from that road
Here is sunrise
Wow
Now we are at 1 km above
Oh my God!
What a view! We came towards 1 Km Now We are above from clouds
So guys this experience and view is truly unbelievable
wow!
There is our car, Which will pick us
It is also coming with us
But we dont know at which tree they will land us
At which rock
Okay!
