Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Some of my favourite snaps from this incredible place.
Starting with the famous Lions Rock, seen from almost everywhere in Sigiriya, we hiked up and visited neighbouring mountains to view it. This image was taken during our sunrise hike… It’s as breathtaking as it looks.
A Different Kind Of Strength.
During our three hour journey through the tea covered mountains, we stopped and had a chat with a local woman who spends up to eight hours a day working the hills, carrying loads of up to 20kg on her head through heat, rain and shine
Worth the wait.
The Safari was a whole different experience. At times it felt like a thousand jeeps on a racetrack, chasing this one moment, the king of the jungle.
A Man’s Best Friend.
One of the most interesting combos I have ever seen walking along the coast. Monkey on lead & hands on with a cobra, hell yeh brotha.
Paradise.
Lucky for us, almost every afternoon along the coast was this heavenly. Our favourite spot to park up for a lion beer 🍺
HUGE Bucket List Bird!
The Sri Lankan Hornbill (A Male Malabar Pied Hornbill), was one of my highlights of the trip. I could have easily sat there for hours and watched this magnificent creature. Beyond stoked with this meet and greet.
Crocodile Food.
We kayaked through the lake boarding lions rock in Sigiriya. An incredible scene during sunset, the area was compact full of native wild birds, a stunner of an arvo. Yes there were crocodiles, no we didn’t get spun.
The Climb.
Lions Rock, this is about half way checkpoint up the whole climb. The view at the top was stunning, a full view of the farm lands, town and water ways that covered Sigiriya. My favourite of the hikes in Sri Lanka.
The Fisherman.
The traditional wooden Oruwa, just big enough to stand sideways in. Usually sunset and sunrise we would see these boats most active, cruising along the coast banking in fish.
Reality.
We got up early to ‘beat the crowd’. We didn’t realise the whole of Sri Lanka would be there! Pretty crazy to know this is the norm in the national parks. I understand why though, we spent 10 hours in there and I still didn’t want to leave! A experience I want to repeat asap.
