Refreshingly Sri Lanka

I was travelling a lot lately, but Sri Lanka was love on a first sign. I spent two months there as a backpacker, and I'll come back again. I ate the sweetest mango, drunk coconuts as locals, travelled hundreds of miles on a scooter, saw wild elephants, was without a signal for several days, visited a local hospital, ate the hottest rice and curry, rode Sri Lanka to the south point, discovered that there were good-hearted people. And I made sure that Sri Lanka is the pearl of the Indian Ocean.

Dunsinane Falls #dunsinanefall #srilankafalls⁣ ⁣ This majestic waterfall is located in Pundaluoya village in Nuwara Eliya District. It is the 15th highest waterfall in SriLanka. The place is still peaceful because not many travellers know about the Fall and yet it is worth it. You can even take a bath in the fresh and cold water❤️. ⁣#srilankawaterfalls #fresh #coldwater ⁣ I am not sure who are the Gods in front of the waterfall; however, they seem to be Hindu Gods. ⁣ You can reach the waterfall within one and half hour journey from Nawalapitiya either one hour ride from Nuwaraeliya town.⁣ #hindugods #nuwaraeliyatrip #nuwaraeliya #nuwaraeliyasrilanka #aloneatthefalls #enjoytheview #enjoythemoment (at Dunsinane Falls) https://www.instagram.com/p/B34Sor2AKDd/?igshid=1tkhudy7t2squ

Rice & Curry⁣ The most typical meal at Sri Lanka. A mountainous plate of rice generally accompanied by various meat and or vegetable curries, multiple pickles, sambols, and a handful of tiny poppadums.⁣#srilankanriceandcurry #vegetablecurry #chickencurry #riceandcurry #pickles #poppadums #srilankancuisine #srilankancurry ⁣ A note on ingredients, curry leaves are fundamental to Sri Lanka cooking; they're in everything!⁣ #curryleaf ⁣ Sri Lankan food is one of the healthiest ways of eating. And why? Because the spices they are using. ⁣#spices #srilankaspices If you are not a fan of rice than too bad, because you will find it in everything - rice & curry, sweet rice, rice in all versions. Rice fields are the second-largest crops after tea. ⁣ It was challenging to get used to the cuisine mainly because I haven't been used to eat spicy food #eatspicy #healthyspicyfood . The first days, my mouth was in a fire 🔥. And when I was leaving, I was happy not to consume more rice & curry! ⁣ I have to say, that is one of the healthiest cuisines I have tried and definitely looking forward to eating and try more. ⁣ ⁣ Read at my blog @refreshingly_srilanka⁣ ⁣ #ceylon #travellingaroundsrilanka #srilankanfood #srilanka🇱🇰 #czechgirl🇨🇿 #backpacker #backpackers #travelblog #travelbloggers⁣ #trytoeathealthy ⁣ ⁣ #refreshingly_srilanka #vwithlove❤️ (at Kandy Srilanka) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2_m6-9oFEA/?igshid=dawhd4pwt9qj

Sri Pathrakali Amman Kovil⁣ ⁣ I am not exaggerating to say this is one of the most stunning Hindu temples at Sri Lanka, furthermore is dedicated to Kali the Goddess of death, time, and doomsday. From the outside, we can see tens to hundreds of Gods and Goddesses. Such a pearl, when you look at the photos, you will notice that the statues and paintings are more on the top of the Temple — it is against natural disasters by water. A piece of art is aquatic animals mixed with gods which is possible to see inside.⁣ ⁣ The Kovil opens at 6.30 a.m.⁣ ⁣ Prayers have at 11.30 a.m.⁣ ⁣ The ceiling inside is impressive⁣ ⁣ Possible to take pictures inside⁣ ⁣ 200 meters from the Trincomalee Bus⁣ ⁣ No entrance fee ⁣ #trincomaleesrilanka #trincomaleetemples #visitsrilanka🇱🇰 #srilankatravels #srikankadaily #srilankatemple #hindu #hindutemples #ammankovil #kaligoddess #fullofcolors #sunnyday #bluesky💙 #peacefullmind #bestpic #backpackerstravel #travelbackpack #srilankantravelblogger #wonderofasia #wonderlust #srilankavisit #travelgirl #czechgirl🇨🇿 #lovetravel #loveexplore #bloggerlife ⁣ #refreshingly_srilanka vwithlove ❤️ (at Trincomalee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2yl9M9gH90/?igshid=171s4bmzladob

Trincomalee — the place of Hindu temples, deers and smelly fish

Trincomalee is one of the places you can visit in any season. There are amazing places which breath with history, command respect and show the beauty of building temples. Trincomalee Beach or Uppuveli Beach. Amman Kovil in the city and Koneswaram Temple at the hill in the army Fort Frederick. Smelly dry fish and deers everywhere, as well as watching whales. I travelled during the rainy season, so…

Rock with Buddha statues. Do not expect any golding, paintings or other decorations. This place breathes history and simplicity. I felt tiny with massive respect for the work which was done.

How did I get to this place? Oh well, that is a coincidence. On my way from Haputale down to the South, I stopped to see Diyaluma Falls. But as the evening was approaching, I knew I couldn’t make it, and I should find a place to sleep.

On the way from the waterfalls, a car with one lovely family stopped to ask me if I wanted to take a ride. I was glad for the opportunity because I just missed…

"Why is the guy sitting on the elephant?"⁣ "He thinks, he is cool..." I guess there is no such reason to sit on an elephant.... ⁣ ⁣ Riding an Elephant is generally a big topic because a lot of tourists want to do it for a stunning picture on Instagram. But did you know that they are majestic animals that by sitting on them you humiliate them?⁣ ⁣ I have so much to say.

Galboda Ella Falls

Galboda Falls aka Galboda Ella Falls close to Kandy, in Nuwara Eliya district with total height 30 m. Still, not even many locals know about the waterfalls.

It was the third day on the island. I have already driven 250 km on a scooter, and this day was in a similar vein. In the morning, I jumped on a scooter and went to discover the beauty of the central province around Gampola and Kandy. This day brought another 150 km and also one broken flip-flop at the fall off a scooter :).

Coconut

When you travel to Sri Lanka or other Asian countries, I recommend you to drink coconut every day. Nothing compares to fresh coconut. It is delicious, healthy and refreshing. It is not milk but more or less a liquid similar to water.

Variations of coconuts.

Yellow-Orange coconutnamed Thembili. King coconut in English. And a small tip for you, when the coconut is getting darker (orange),…
