Hello guys! greetings and welcoe back to my channel Follow Jack!
00:18.5
00:24.3
we're currently in Sri Lanka and this is my second official international trip after Indonesia
00:24.4
00:29.2
in this official trip I'll stay here for just 4 days
00:29.3
00:34.1
in this 4 days, I wish to explore this whole Sri Lanka, I know it's ambitious and impossible
00:34.2
00:39.0
but I have few places on my bucket list
00:39.1
00:43.9
and I have them ordered by priority as well
00:44.0
00:48.8
right now our landed place is Ella
00:48.9
00:53.7
it's a trekking trial, ofcourse
00:53.8
00:58.6
you may shocked to see my guide, he is 'Bairava'
00:58.7
01:03.5
and he is the guide, I'm having language issue here as they're speaking Sinhala
01:03.6
01:08.4
many are speaking English in cities but in countryside and villages
01:08.5
01:13.3
we're facing communication difficulties
01:13.4
01:18.2
so we asked many and now heading towards a view point
01:18.3
01:23.1
the name of the place is Ella rock view point
01:23.2
01:28.0
so from here we need to travel 6-7 Kms
01:28.1
01:32.9
we planned to see the sun rise from there but locating this place was tough and took some time
01:33.0
01:37.8
hey buddy, do you guide me to that place?
01:37.9
01:42.7
he was sitting there and saw us coming
01:42.8
01:47.6
and now he is acting as a guide for us. Ella rock view point?, this way
01:47.7
01:52.5
okay, brother has this juice shop here
01:52.6
01:57.4
and now it's scorching here and we need sufficient vitamins in summer
01:57.5
02:02.3
we may get refreshed here at this juice shop and will follow this way
02:02.4
02:07.2
in Sri Lankan series
02:07.3
02:12.1
we have this unique kind of experience, at the same time
02:12.2
02:17.0
the cultural diversities and environmental sceneries are changing in travel
02:17.1
02:21.9
for every 30 minutes, regardless of you're travelling in bus, car or taxi
02:22.0
02:26.8
that landscapes are changing constantly, which looks cool and beautiful to eyes
02:26.9
02:31.7
I guess we'll learn more things as we travel-by
02:31.8
02:36.6
we gave biscuits to our guide
02:36.7
02:41.5
we also have these small guides, they're cute!
02:41.6
02:45.4
all are eating biscuits and specially this black guy
02:55.1
02:59.9
as you can see this pathway, it's filled with lemon grass
03:00.0
03:04.8
and this air is so fresh with lemon grass flavor
03:04.9
03:09.7
and one dog sood long time at a shop
03:09.8
03:14.6
then I realised it asked for buiscuit
03:14.7
03:19.5
so gave 2-3 packets of biscuits
03:19.6
03:24.4
the satisfying thing is we was trekking alone
03:24.5
03:29.3
then two foreign tourist overtook us
03:29.4
03:34.2
then we confirmed that we're going in he right way
03:34.3
03:39.1
still we can trust this dog and go anywhere
03:39.2
03:44.0
it's special to have this type of guides
03:44.1
03:48.9
I can’t breath steadily
03:49.0
03:53.8
that dog is leaving us here and not guiding us anymore, this trail goes this way
03:53.9
03:58.0
I guess we need to reach that place by our own
03:58.1
04:02.9
Ella is a famous tourist spot as you can see from the entrance of the Ella town
04:03.0
04:07.8
where you can observe many foreign people, cafe and restro bars
04:07.9
04:12.7
this town gives that Goa vibe and energy
04:12.8
04:17.6
and another important spot is nine arches bridge
04:17.7
04:22.5
it conects two hills and built by using stones and cement only
04:22.6
04:26.6
without using any metal, we'll head to that place next
04:26.7
04:31.5
that's a photogenic place where you can get cool atmospheric photos
04:31.6
04:36.4
there is one wild life sanctuary called as Hortan's plain
04:36.5
04:41.3
then one cave is also there
04:41.4
04:46.2
the local people lived under that cave for 23 years
04:46.3
04:51.1
we'll enter inside of that cave too, we gave two biscuits to this guide
04:51.2
04:56.0
we're continuing our journey and it will be easy from here. I ment for the way
04:56.1
05:00.9
but the path is still on the tougher side, trekking is not easy
05:01.0
05:05.8
we need to do trekking like this only
05:05.9
05:10.4
Ella rock is the view point you'll have in your mind when you're visiting Sri Lanka.
05:10.5
05:15.3
it will be always in your ind when you're at Sri Lanka
05:15.4
05:20.2
this place is filled with herbal trees like eucalyptus so this path is
05:20.3
05:25.1
giving that experience to breath that healthy natural air, I'm so excited!
05:25.2
05:30.0
look there are two dogs coming on the way
05:30.1
05:34.9
[SPEAKER NOISE] it's okay, instead of humans
05:35.0
05:39.8
we have Bairavar's personas to guide us just for two biscuit packets!
05:39.9
05:43.4
third one is here, how many?!
06:04.4
06:09.2
almost we crossed via shortcut
06:09.3
06:14.1
in this trekking we'll reach the top of the ella rock withing 45 minutes
06:14.2
06:19.0
it will take 1.30 hours to reach the main view point
06:19.1
06:23.9
all foreigners from ella town will follow that route only
06:24.0
06:28.8
from their rooms they will simply start by wearing shorts and hiking gears
06:28.9
06:33.7
as I said you can see eucalyptus trees all around here, look at their density!
06:33.8
06:38.6
it's so beautiful and I can breath fresh air here
06:38.7
06:43.5
they have this small break spot
06:43.6
06:46.6
here we have tea, bananas and bread
06:46.7
06:51.5
if you felt tired or need a break, you can use this place
06:51.6
06:56.4
you also need to come via this place as we never had any food
06:56.5
07:00.3
we only had water for our stomach since morning
07:00.4
07:05.2
we have seen this board and they mentioned about this entry ticket and I'm not sure if they have that. But
07:05.3
07:10.1
this arrow shows this direction and
07:10.2
07:15.0
4 ladies went ahead of me, maybe they're up for their work
07:15.1
07:18.9
I asked them if I'm on right path for ella rock and they said, 'yes!, this way!'
07:19.0
07:23.8
we have these small sitout places and restrooms over there
07:23.9
07:28.7
they have these small stone and wood benches for sitout places
07:28.8
07:33.6
we bought our ticket at this ticket counter
07:33.7
07:38.5
it says 900 Rs and they will give this ticket after you pay and this is the first view point
07:38.6
07:43.4
for second one we need to walk over that side
07:43.5
07:48.3
for locals it's 90 Rs and for foreigners it's 900 Rs
07:48.4
07:53.2
it's normal in every country as it's utilised for forest conservation
07:53.3
07:58.1
this mandatory fee is not an issue
07:58.2
08:01.4
let's enjoy the view point!
08:12.4
08:17.2

08:27.1
08:31.9

08:32.0
08:36.8
when I saw it from the top it was so superb, so i wanted to step down a bit
08:36.9
08:41.7
I slowly climbing down on the uncharted path
08:41.8
08:46.6
you may saw the dolphin nose view point from Kodaikanal, it's similar to that
08:46.7
08:51.5
it's 3800 Ft above the sea level and from here
08:51.6
08:54.7
I can see the town well!
08:54.8
09:01.6
I never felt this much satisfied after 1 hour of trekking
09:01.7
09:06.5
this view is so beautiful! look here
09:06.6
09:11.4
this is so beautiful in person than seeing it from a digital screen
09:11.5
09:16.3
I'm on the edge and I can’t express in words
09:16.4
09:21.2
so surely be here at ella rock view point
09:21.3
09:26.1
you may never get like this, Kodaikanal and Ooty are different

09:45.8
09:50.6
this view is the single most enjoyable view here
09:50.7
09:55.5
that 360 degree view also looked cool and
09:55.6
10:00.1
our negative point is we're limited with creativity as they warned about using cameras carefully
10:00.2
10:05.0
there is one sitting spot and
10:05.1
10:09.9
couples and photographers are using that to take photos
