Travelexp 3- Sri Lanka

I travelled to the Emerald Isle twice last year and instantly fell in love with the place. Some pics will illustrate what I want to say, better than words can.

 Horton Plains National Park, where this is THE WORLD's END, nothing less. Below, some of the flora in the Park.

 Other end of the World's End.

 Prarthana is aided by a walking stick, as she finds the walk a bit long!
Below, Baker's Fall, halfway along the trek.

 Negombo beach-I left my imprints on the sands of time.

 A rainy drive, getting us to Kandy and the Temple there.

View to kill for, on the way to Nuwara Eliya.

Initial Impressions- Sri Lanka

Went for a family (destination) wedding to Sri Lanka and stayed in Negombo beach. First impressions-

It is expensive compared to many similar Indian destinations. Particularly, entry fees for foreigners are high in many sight-seeing spots. Some may be worth the price, some not.

The people are nice and friendly. Mostly, laid-back. The cleanliness is a lesson to us. They also obey traffic signals.

The women wear sarees, but in a slightly different way.

The towns resemble Kerala in colour of store-fronts, and appams are available everywhere. The greenery is similar too.

So are lunch buffets with prices varying from 250 Sri-Lankan Rupees to 500 or more. Lots of women entrepreneurs in this business.

Tea, gemstones, cashews are some specialities.

It would take a week to see all the sights. We did a couple, along with the wedding.

E-visas are very easy to get online.
