At first they will ask why you are doing it..... Later they will ask how you did it..!!! . My journey in Sri Lanka is filled with adventures and good times. This beautiful country has so much to see. When i was visiting a small town in Sri Lanka, i went to see the Nine Arch bridge. Like most places i had to hike a little to get the best view of the bridge. I waited for around 45 min to the train to pass and get some nice shots. It was such a beautiful and unique experience for me. I enjoyed every bit of it. Since i have started my travel journey i have realised how my excitement has grown for things as it used to be when i was a kid. When ever i used to see something new i used to jump with excitement and enjoy my experience but with time it got lost somewhere. But now I’m happy to find it all again.... travel can teach you things that nothing else can.. that is the reason i love it... . . . #transitnomads #srilanka #ellasrilanka #ninearchbridge #happytravels #exploringsrilanka #lonelyplanetsrilanka #lonelyplanet #indiangirl #indiantraveller #himalayangirls #psexpress #iphonexphotography (at Nine Arch Bridge - Ella Sri Lanka) https://www.instagram.com/rachanabhapa/p/BxU-vm5h5tm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3udj58vhu6np

Took a not so very safe car ride up north to Sigiriya to explore the UNESCO world heritage cites and climb the Lion's rock 🙃. ⠀ Unfortunately, due to time and weather we decided to only explore the water gardens and save the climb for tomorrow😊. ⠀ Of course I had to do a yoga pose at the very edge in my awesome new elephant pants 🐘😌. #howawesomeami #exploringsrilanka #elephantpantsfordays (at Citadel of Sigiriya - Lion's Rock, Sri Lanka)
