MAHIYANGANAYA | SRI LANKA

Good Morning Travelers! After a long time, we are going to see the sunrise this morning. Because We couldn't watch a proper sunrise at Jaffna even. We missed the sunrise. I miss you sunrise... So, today we're visiting a beautiful place to watch the sunrise. Then, Let's go. On a small hill, where the lake can be seen beautifully. Elina woke up early in the morning. At around 4.30 am. Now she's waiting to watch the sunrise. Both of them are wearing the same dress. Then, let's go. Shall we go, Elin

a? Okay... We came at the correct time. A beautiful sunrise is appearing from that side. We came to see the sunrise after a long time. Isn't it? Mapakada village hotel can be seen there. Sunrise is also appearing behind the hotel. What is this place called? This place is known as Weheragala. It's about 5 minutes away from the hotel. There's a hike. It's also for about 5 minutes. So, you can reach here in about 15 minutes as a total. After having our tea, we'll go back again. Then, we'll go to

an island by boat to have our breakfast. Yeah... Let's watch the sunrise first. Still, the moon is also visible. Sun and the moon, both can be seen. We watched the sunrise. I'm not sure whether you can see it, but there's a boat. We're going to that island by boat to take our breakfast. Then, let's go. We came here through this forest road. There was a small hike. But, it was okay... We were able to bring Elina too. A bit difficult to carry her. I forgot the tripod. I went back again to take

it. Otherwise, I will have to come a long way again. Here you can see the boat. This is Mahiyanganaya road. Hi Elina, Where are you going today? Where are you going today? Are you going on the boat? We came to the island. They have arrived. Nice... Chef, What do we have today? Today, we have an omelet action, Moreover, we have pol roti (Coconut roti), fish curry, potato curry, Katta sambol, String hoppers, Sweet items, Bread... Wonderful. Shall we eat bread first? Yeah... let's eat. Now we're

gonna go back to the hotel. We took our breakfast. We're planning to visit Dambana in the evening. Elina, who are you gonna see? Veddas... We're gonna visit Dambana in the evening. Another thing is, we can go kayaking. But it's impossible to go now. Since we're checking out tomorrow, we're planning to go kayaking early in the morning. Because it's hard to go when it's sunny. So, let's try it tomorrow morning. We got our lunch... It's totally Sri Lankan. It's a traditional lunch. We have rice,

prawns, papadam, cutlet, Red rice, chicken, I think this is Kohila yam curry. Bitter gourd, Polos curry (Jack fruit), Mallung, Turkey berry, and dhal. After having our lunch, we're visiting Dambana. How's the lunch? Superb..! I have no words to express it. It's delicious. We had a superb Sri Lankan-style lunch today. It was delicious. So, we're heading to Dambana to meet our relatives. We're gonna see Aborigines. There will be some amazing things. Isn't it Chamari? Yeah... Let's see what happ

ens. We got some news. Let's go and see. We had a distance of about 22 km from the hotel to reach the village of Dambana. And we were able to arrive here in about 40 minutes. If we visit the Aboriginal village, a place we must definitely see is the "Aboriginal Heritage Museum". Because, of the lifestyles, food, and drink of the aborigines, all these things have changed nowadays. In the museum, we can see how they hunted in the past, prepared food and drinks, and their lifestyles. This museum is

the only place that is left for us to know all those things. Photography and video recording inside this museum are completely prohibited. We took permission to bring you this video. Especially the sisters and brothers who are going to school, those who study about the indigenous people, and anyone who comes to visit the aboriginal village can get a good idea about them if they visit this museum. Let us protect these things. These are the things that we have to carry forward as heritage. The ma

in problem was that their customs and rituals were changed from their main social culture. Especially, the foreigners visit. Then they interact and share all the things. Then they quickly change. And the other main thing that affects is the economy. Due to all these things, it's likely to disappear very quickly. This museum will be the only thing we can see in the near future. Because the existing ones will also change. Pull it and shoot. Mom... Pull it hard. Elina come here... Go behind. What?

Elina come here. Elina come here. Pull it hard and shoot. Is it enough? Pull it more... Did it hit the tree? Yeah... It hit on the tree Chamari's... They'll keep Chamari here. How's Chamari's target? Did you see it? Make us crazy ;) It's right here. Shall I remove it? Okay... Good Morning Travelers! Say, "Good Morning". Good Morning... Where are we going today? To ride boats. Now we're at the nearest lake to the Mapakada village hotel. We came early in the morning to ride boats. Isn't it Elina?

Today is our last day in Mahiyanganaya. Let's go... Elina... Elina's second kayaking. We're not going too far. Just going around here. The water here is about our height. We couldn't find a jacket for Elina. So, we're not going far. Where's dad? Dad is behind. You look ahead. So, we went kayaking early in the morning. I think we woke up at about 6 AM. Isn't it? We went there at about 6.30 AM Next, we took our breakfast on the boat. Later, we got into the pool. Today we're planning to go back hom

e. We only did things inside the hotel today. Didn't plan anything outside. We've been here for 3, 4 days. Wanna go back soon because there's a lot of work. If we talk about the pool, it's like an infinity pool. When we're in the pool, a beautiful view of the lake is visible. Moreover, If you're visiting Mapakada village hotel and don't like the sun, get into the pool early in the morning. If you can come before 10 AM, it won't be sunny. If not, you can come in the evening. Because of Elina, we

chose a time that isn't sunny to get into the pool. Moreover, we planned to visit Nagadeepa too. But, as we're going back home today, we thought of visiting Nagadeepa on another day. So, If you're visiting Mahiyanganaya, you can visit Nagadeepa too. That's all right? Yeah, that's it. I hope you all enjoyed today's vlog. If you know of any such places to get more experience, please recommend them below. We hope to visit such villages, eat village food, and visit waterfalls, etc... We got so many

experiences from this trip. We're very happy. Although these 4 days was a bit tiring, the experiences we gained were wonderful. As Kasun said If you know such places where you can walk in a village and get such experiences, mention in a comment below. After checking out from the hotel, we're going... We couldn't come through the 18 bends. We came across Kandy. So, today we're going back home across the 18 bends. Thank you so much for watching our vlog. Cheers! Watch the rest too... There will

be nice drone shots. If you haven't subscribed to our channel yet, please subscribe now. Follow us on Instagram - "Travel with wife" Cheers! We're on the way. I thought of showing you... This is how rice is dried. Rice is often dried like this along the Mahianganaya road. How many days should it be dried? How many days does the rice need to be dried? Oh... Only one day? It's enough to dry them for 2 or 3 hours It's enough? Keeri samba... Is this keeri samba? Yeah... Our products are exported and

bad products are imported. Next, where does this lead? This is keeri samba. These are two types of rice. Here we have one type of rice and here is another. This is called as "Yakada Maran". This is 352. This is how the rice is dried. I talked to them for a while. There are many sad stories. Fertilizer problems and all. What to do...
