Safari Experience in Sri Lanka | Yala National Park

Who knew that you could go on Safari in Sri Lanka? We have left Ella (our favourite spot in the country) to make our way down towards Yala National Park.
Here we saw some of the local Sri Lankan wildlife including Asian elephants and more!
We ended our day at the most Instagramable swing in the world at Unuwatuna.

    @@flyingthenest It is said that King Ravana (King of Sri Lanka many many years ago) kidnapped Sita and hid her in a cave behind the falls. Its from a Hindu narrative called Ramayana (many claims saying the story did occur in real life). Sita is a avatar of Goddess Lakshmi, and Rama who is Sita's husband, whose avatar is Lord Vishnu. To summarize part of the story, King Ravana fell in love with Sita and kidnapped her from India and took her back to Sri Lanka and hid her so Lord Rama doesn't find her. But eventually Lord Rama finds her when he reaches Sri Lanka with the help of Lord Hanuman. If you go on google maps or type on google "Adams Bridge" you can see on google maps of a bridge that is not there anymore of course, that connected from India to Sri Lanka, which said to be the bridge Lord Hanuman created so Lord Rama can get Sri Lanka! Not sure if what I said made any sense, but I hope i helped you guys understand parts of the Hindu tale! :D
