00:00:08,700 --> 00:00:13,500
go! go..!, Good boy!

3
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:18,400
Hello guys! greetings and welcoe back to 
my channel Follow Jack!

4
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:24,300
we're currently in Sri Lanka and this is 
my second official international trip after 
Indonesia

5
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:29,200
in this official trip I'll stay here for 
just 4 days

6
00:00:29,300 --> 00:00:34,100
in this 4 days, I wish to explore this whole 
Sri Lanka, I know it's ambitious and impossible

7
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,000
but I have few places on my bucket list

8
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:43,900
and I have them ordered by priority as well

9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,800
right now our landed place is Ella

10
00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:53,700
it's a trekking trial, ofcourse

11
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,600
you may shocked to see my guide, he is 'Bairava'

12
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:03,500
and he is the guide, I'm having language 
issue here as they're speaking Sinhala

13
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,400
many are speaking English in cities but in 
countryside and villages

14
00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:13,300
we're facing communication difficulties

15
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,200
so we asked many and now heading towards 
a view point

16
00:01:18,300 --> 00:01:23,100
the name of the place is Ella rock view point

17
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:28,000
so from here we need to travel 6-7 Kms

18
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:32,900
we planned to see the sun rise from there 
but locating this place was tough and took 
some time

19
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,800
hey buddy, do you guide me to that place?

20
00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:42,700
he was sitting there and saw us coming

21
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,600
and now he is acting as a guide for us. Ella 
rock view point?, this way

22
00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:52,500
okay, brother has this juice shop here

23
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,400
and now it's scorching here and we need sufficient 
vitamins in summer

24
00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:02,300
we may get refreshed here at this juice shop 
and will follow this way

25
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,200
in Sri Lankan series

26
00:02:07,300 --> 00:02:12,100
we have this unique kind of experience, at 
the same time

27
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:17,000
the cultural diversities and environmental 
sceneries are changing in travel

28
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:21,900
for every 30 minutes, regardless of you're 
travelling in bus, car or taxi

29
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,800
that landscapes are changing constantly, 
which looks cool and beautiful to eyes

30
00:02:26,900 --> 00:02:31,700
I guess we'll learn more things as we travel-by

31
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,600
we gave biscuits to our guide

32
00:02:36,700 --> 00:02:41,500
we also have these small guides, they're 
cute!

33
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,400
all are eating biscuits and specially this 
black guy

34
00:02:45,500 --> 00:02:55,000
[Music]

35
00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:59,900
as you can see this pathway, it's filled 
with lemon grass

36
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,800
and this air is so fresh with lemon grass 
flavor

37
00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:09,700
and one dog sood long time at a shop

38
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,600
then I realised it asked for buiscuit

39
00:03:14,700 --> 00:03:19,500
so gave 2-3 packets of biscuits

40
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,400
the satisfying thing is we was trekking alone

41
00:03:24,500 --> 00:03:29,300
then two foreign tourist overtook us

42
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,200
then we confirmed that we're going in he 
right way

43
00:03:34,300 --> 00:03:39,100
still we can trust this dog and go anywhere

44
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:44,000
it's special to have this type of guides

45
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:48,900
I can’t breath steadily

46
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,800
that dog is leaving us here and not guiding 
us anymore, this trail goes this way

47
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:58,000
I guess we need to reach that place by our 
own

48
00:03:58,100 --> 00:04:02,900
Ella is a famous tourist spot as you can 
see from the entrance of the Ella town

49
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,800
where you can observe many foreign people, 
cafe and restro bars

50
00:04:07,900 --> 00:04:12,700
this town gives that Goa vibe and energy

51
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,600
and another important spot is nine arches 
bridge

52
00:04:17,700 --> 00:04:22,500
it conects two hills and built by using stones 
and cement only

53
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,600
without using any metal, we'll head to that 
place next

54
00:04:26,700 --> 00:04:31,500
that's a photogenic place where you can get 
cool atmospheric photos

55
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,400
there is one wild life sanctuary called as 
Hortan's plain

56
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:41,300
then one cave is also there

57
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:46,200
the local people lived under that cave for 
23 years

58
00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:51,100
we'll enter inside of that cave too, we gave 
two biscuits to this guide

59
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:56,000
we're continuing our journey and it will 
be easy from here. I ment for the way

60
00:04:56,100 --> 00:05:00,900
but the path is still on the tougher side, 
trekking is not easy

61
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,800
we need to do trekking like this only

62
00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:10,400
Ella rock is the view point you'll have in 
your mind when you're visiting Sri Lanka.

63
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:15,300
it will be always in your ind when you're 
at Sri Lanka

64
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:20,200
this place is filled with herbal trees like 
eucalyptus so this path is

65
00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:25,100
giving that experience to breath that healthy 
natural air, I'm so excited!

66
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:30,000
look there are two dogs coming on the way

67
00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:34,900
[SPEAKER NOISE] it's okay, instead of humans

68
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,800
we have Bairavar's personas to guide us just 
for two biscuit packets!

69
00:05:39,900 --> 00:05:43,400
third one is here, how many?!

70
00:05:43,500 --> 00:06:04,300
[Music]

71
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:09,200
almost we crossed via shortcut

72
00:06:09,300 --> 00:06:14,100
in this trekking we'll reach the top of the 
ella rock withing 45 minutes

73
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:19,000
it will take 1.30 hours to reach the main 
view point

74
00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:23,900
all foreigners from ella town will follow 
that route only

75
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,800
from their rooms they will simply start by 
wearing shorts and hiking gears

76
00:06:28,900 --> 00:06:33,700
as I said you can see eucalyptus trees all 
around here, look at their density!

77
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,600
it's so beautiful and I can breath fresh 
air here

78
00:06:38,700 --> 00:06:43,500
they have this small break spot

79
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,600
here we have tea, bananas and bread

80
00:06:46,700 --> 00:06:51,500
if you felt tired or need a break, you can 
use this place

81
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:56,400
you also need to come via this place as we 
never had any food

82
00:06:56,500 --> 00:07:00,300
we only had water for our stomach since morning

83
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,200
we have seen this board and they mentioned 
about this entry ticket and I'm not sure 
if they have that. But

84
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:10,100
this arrow shows this direction and

85
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:15,000
4 ladies went ahead of me, maybe they're 
up for their work

86
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:18,900
I asked them if I'm on right path for ella 
rock and they said, 'yes!, this way!'

87
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,800
we have these small sitout places and restrooms 
over there

88
00:07:23,900 --> 00:07:28,700
they have these small stone and wood benches 
for sitout places

89
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,600
we bought our ticket at this ticket counter

90
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:38,500
it says 900 Rs and they will give this ticket 
after you pay and this is the first view 
point

91
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:43,400
for second one we need to walk over that 
side

92
00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:48,300
for locals it's 90 Rs and for foreigners 
it's 900 Rs

93
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:53,200
it's normal in every country as it's utilised 
for forest conservation

94
00:07:53,300 --> 00:07:58,100
this mandatory fee is not an issue

95
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,400
let's enjoy the view point!

96
00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:12,300
[Music]

97
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:17,200
guys, this is the view point and we're here 
now

98
00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:22,100
we're jumpig in joy and can’t feel tiredness 
anymore!

99
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:27,000
it's superb guys to see this view

100
00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:31,900
amazing view guys! in the morning

101
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,800
when I saw it from the top it was so superb, 
so i wanted to step down a bit

102
00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:41,700
I slowly climbing down on the uncharted path

103
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,600
you may saw the dolphin nose view point from 
Kodaikanal, it's similar to that

104
00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:51,500
it's 3800 Ft above the sea level and from 
here

105
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,700
I can see the town well!

106
00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:01,600
I never felt this much satisfied after 1 
hour of trekking

107
00:09:01,700 --> 00:09:06,500
this view is so beautiful! look here

108
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:11,400
this is so beautiful in person than seeing 
it from a digital screen

109
00:09:11,500 --> 00:09:16,300
I'm on the edge and I can’t express in words

110
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:21,200
so surely be here at ella rock view point

111
00:09:21,300 --> 00:09:26,100
you may never get like this, Kodaikanal and 
Ooty are different

112
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,000
this is so unique from what I have seen so 
far

113
00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:35,900
now I'm heading for the 2nd point, the elevation 
of ella view point is

114
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,800
1356 Mts and on the left

115
00:09:40,900 --> 00:09:45,700
Ravana cave is located, for right it's secret 
water falls

116
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:50,600
this view is the single most enjoyable view 
here

117
00:09:50,700 --> 00:09:55,500
that 360 degree view also looked cool and

118
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:00,100
our negative point is  we're limited with 
creativity as they warned about using cameras 
carefully

119
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:05,000
there is one sitting spot and

120
00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:09,900
couples and photographers are using that 
to take photos

121
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,800
it's oe of the best sunrise spot in Sri lanka

122
00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:18,200
so don’t miss it!

123
00:10:18,300 --> 00:10:21,000
[Music]

124
00:10:21,100 --> 00:10:25,900
we'll travel from the centre of Sri Lanka 
to the down south coastal region

125
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:32,400
in next video we'll see the famous coconut 
tree spot, Galle fort

126
00:10:32,500 --> 00:10:37,300
so if you're new here
