Hiking in Sri Lanka GONE VERY WRONG! 

The green fruit you had been trying is not actually a sweet fruit, though it is sold and eaten raw by some people in Sri Lanka. It is called NE-LL-I. In Aurwedic medicine (and ppl in SL) it considered to be highly beneficial to health and one of the three components of Thriphala. English Name is Indian Gooseberry (Emblica officinalis )(Amalaki in India)). Nelli fruit said to contain all five tastes. You bite a small piece at a time and keep chewing, but not strongly. The stone in the middle is not edible. After swallowing if you drink some water, you can feel the sweetness in your mouth. You can buy Nelli cordial in SL supermarkets. Remember to keep a polythene raincoat stuffed in your back pack wherever you go in SL. But the weather is still better than in Scotland this time of the year!

The Fruits you got for rs 50 is called nelli. Highly nutrishes, hard seed in it . Eat the flesh and chew for sometimes throw the powder our. It's bitter at the bigging, after few minutes your mouth becomes very sweet and kind a mint flavour. Drink few sips of water then it's becomes more sweeter. Keep enjoying and stay safe Happy journey Love from Srilanka

So true. I am an Sri Lankan living in the US. I have never bought a fruit or any meat that tastes so good like in Sri Lanka. Enjoy your time and be safe

Ella has the purest air in the world. Oxygen content of the air higher than other places ...

That fruit is called Amla (in sinhala "Nelli") at beginning amla gives hard taste, but at the end it become sweet..if drink water it will magnify the sweetness

Thank you very much for visiting Sri Lanka..❤ That fruit is really healthy..

Weldone guys, looks great, authentic commentary, thanks for coming to Sri Lanka and promoting this country!

Wow the scenery from this hike was amazing! Lol that looked like a lot of rain 😱

This is such a real vlog man I love it.

Videos are awesome… sounds/ videos/ presentations very professional ,can’t get any better ❤

Hiking in Sri Lanka can be a wonderful experience, as the country is known for its lush green landscapes, scenic mountains, and stunning natural beauty. However, like any outdoor adventure, things can go wrong if proper precautions are not taken. Here's a description of a hypothetical scenario where a hiking trip in Sri Lanka takes a turn for the worse: Imagine a group of enthusiastic hikers embarking on a journey to conquer the challenging trails of Sri Lanka's central highlands. They are equipped with maps, essential supplies, and a spirit of adventure. The hike begins with excitement and anticipation as they navigate through dense forests, steep hills, and rocky terrain. As the day progresses, the weather starts to change unexpectedly. Dark clouds gather overhead, and distant thunder echoes through the mountains. The hikers, initially undeterred, continue their ascent, hoping to reach their designated campsite before the rain sets in. But as they climb higher, the rain intensifies, transforming the paths into slippery mudslides. Visibility decreases, and the treacherous conditions make progress increasingly difficult. The group's morale begins to wane as they realize they are ill-prepared for such harsh weather conditions. With limited shelter options, they decide to take refuge beneath a large overhanging rock. However, they soon realize that it's not adequate protection against the relentless downpour. The rock becomes a temporary but inadequate sanctuary as they huddle together, shivering and soaked to the bone. Night falls, and the darkness amplifies their sense of vulnerability. They have no choice but to spend a sleepless night, enduring the relentless rain and biting cold. With every passing hour, their hope diminishes, and anxiety sets in. The thought of being stranded in the wilderness, far from civilization, becomes a haunting reality. Morning arrives, but the weather shows no signs of improving. The group, now physically exhausted and mentally drained, must make a difficult decision. They realize that contin Finally, after what feels like an eternity, they reach a lower elevation where the rain subsides and the terrain becomes less demanding. Exhausted but relieved, they continue their descent until they eventually encounter a local village. The villagers offer them shelter, warmth, and nourishment, providing the group with a much-needed respite from their harrowing ordeal. This experience serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of outdoor adventures, emphasizing the importance of thorough preparation, adequate equipment, and knowledge of local weather patterns. It also highlights the resilience and camaraderie that can arise in the face of adversity, as the hikers supported each other through the challenging circumstances they encountered during their ill-fated hike in Sri Lanka.

Worlds end hike is even beautiful with access to beautiful waterfalls like Baker's falls along the hike.

Really Enjoyed this video while I was having my lunch break. I hope you guys are back in England now, enjoying the heavy rain and strong wind 😁Love from London

5:57 the fruit that you ate is "gooseberry".. its called "Nelli" in sri lanka.. it is sour but considered as a healthy fruit.. 🙂

Thank you both so much For those who came to our country at this time A beautiful girl, a beautiful boy Good luck to you both

You can buy Nelli as a powdered supplement as Indian Gooseberries or Amla in many parts of the world. Has on of the highest amount of anti oxidants in any food group. I add a little bit to my shakes.

That is gooseberry which you called in English but as asians we called it Amla. It has 5 tasted which is pungent , astringent , sweet , bitter and sour . It has so many benefits.

I love your videos ❤ Fc from Cambodia 🇰🇭 ❤

We knew it was a stiff walk so we rode our scooters up the path until it broke up 😁 Lots of puppies under shrine at the top.

On the plus side, Sri Lankan rainwater tastes very nice.. epic.. 🤪

You always find a silver lini g in every dark crowd

Sri Lankan rain is like raining cats and dogs do not underestimate it ever. and it can happen any time any day. Sri Lankan dogs are the friendliest and most loyal friends generally when you are hiking you probably find one good friend like that they will come with you all the way don't worry they will be your most trusted hiking companion. hope you guys had a great time.

Nice video Thanks. When traveling in tropical countries like this, carry a thin raincoat.

Brother this is the rainy season in Sri Lanka. So don’t worries. Love you

Great stuff

Beautiful vlog guys❤️

Great blog. The hard sour fruit is called Nelli. As you chew it becomes sweeter.

Nice vlog guys! Love from France ❤️

Loved the fact that you drove a 'Tuk Tuk', the panaromic view when driving is awesome ! Next time : Head to our camp site closer to Ella (overlooking the river and the uma oya dam). It is a campsite plus Villa.

Absolutely gorgeous wor my friend, this looks really great! 🔥🔥🔥

without boring ! u guys amazing ! wellcome to sri lanka

You guys are my favorite vloggers so far!. Very natural vlogging style and its always fun to see you two enjoying the land and figure things out as you go. P.S- next time you go to SL, instead of saying “Ayubovan” (formal) when you leave or end a conversation with a local, you can always say “Humba Vemu” which means - lets meet again. Its more informal and friend like.

You guys had a nice time❤️🔥✌🏽

I love this two ❤️‍🔥

That rain was no joke 😮 beautiful views though 😊

There are a lot of people in Sri Lanka who used to work in Italy or working there right now. I think italian food became popular here from that.

Very Beautiful country 🤗♥️

Thank you very much visiting sri lanka ❤️ Nice adventure 💖

You are literally at the rainiest district in sri Lanka.. this is the monsoon..

Bad idea! Hiking on Adam's peak at May-December months is really bad months to went Adam's peak and Sri Lankans won't go there in that time. At least you survived congratulations! 💙

Wow very nice video even you guys felt bit bad :D I watched all of your videos very nice. Until when you guys hope to stay in Sri Lanka?

I like everything about these videos, beautifully made the contiuity of the story moves rapidly along, we see enough of the scenery and the food is described so well, the enjoyment and the togetherness infectious and and both of you are so so positive, no bad vibes, absolute pleasure to watch, maybe because I too am from there? No full stops don't belive in them, untill I have to, bless you Guys, super super fun almost like I was there with you ...?

Nice video❤

At 7:18 that Dog: Goodbye suckers. I am going home! 😂

I live in Sri Lanka and have not yet visit most of the places you guys have been to

Like that restaurant one love ..super vlog ..enjoy

Yes. That is Amla, the fruit; Indian Gooseberry. It is bitter and sour. But if you drink water right after eating it, it becomes sweet and much hydrating. I don't usually eat more than three a season, and would only accept if offered - otherwise I would not buy it usually. Those are very neutricious though. I wouldn't like that much to goo through too intense of a flavour like that.

Nice video..! ❤

Never trust Sri Lanka’s weather forecast 😂

That fruit is also a herb. So we eat it not for sweetness but for good health.

Amla has 5 tastes in it. After taste is sweet. It doesn't have salty taste. That is why when you eat unripe ones it is more sour. It is very healthy and good for diabetes

Guys enjoy the rain! I know I would 😀

That fruit so good guys

enjoy the rain it is an awesome feeling - weather forecast doesn't predict good in SL, ask some locals they will tell by experience it is better lol

In video you ate Indian gooseberry, in srilanka we called Nelli, this was second richest natural source of vitamin C. one old saying " A nelli a day keeps sickness at bay" .... :)

this is awesome. BTW it's called Indian gooseberry aka Nelli

"Nellli" is one of the most bitter medicinal fruit in Sri Lanka. you'll find weird sweetness when you finished eating those.. and this is un expected rainy season not to hike unprepared. and you should not take out sweet coconut or the King coconut away from the seller, because it need dispose of properly.pls, return those to the seller next time. he'll find an inbuilt delicious fruit from it for you when you finish drinking it.

Raining not over i guess, don't get busy in the evening

You two kinda had a rare opportunity, not. I was there 2 months ago and we started right in the morning. The weather was absolutely amazing. The only downside was taking the bush walk to nine arch bridge after overnight rain. Leaches were everywhere.

bro what you do for living??

Tbh I loved the contents.....

Very nice

The green and sour fruit you tasted is locally called as “Nellie’. It is commonly called as “Amla". A medicinal fruit that contains a higher concentration of Vitamin C than Citrus fruits. Unless for it’s medicinal goodness, it is not the kind of berries you can enjoy.

It's the rainy season here

Tenx fro you.came bek agen visition sri lankan.

An umbrella is not going to work when it rains sideways. TBH, this is nothing compared to hiking the Adams Peak. It is a serious pilgrimage.

nice & funny couple🖤🖤

this is rainy month

Seen you're not worried at all about the weather.

You guys should visit gartmore, knuckles mountain range, riverstone, pitawala pathana and little world's end. And there are many more untouched places by foreign vloggers.

Hi Adam can you please tell me how much is cost a day to rent a totoo I am planning to come to Sri Lanka Thanks

nice vlog thanks for visiting SL

5:40 the trick to eating this is to keep this inside your cheek and chew slowly. then drink water. when you drink water while slowly chewing , it becomes sweet. apparently it has a lot of vitamin C so my adults made me eat a lot of it :|
