Some driving tips in Sri Lanka: If some upcoming vehicle blinks their headlights for you in these wild roads, it means there are elephants ahead of you. If they do it on normal roads, it means there are traffic police ahead you! 😂
*Highly appreciate your braveness to drive a Tuk Tuk throughout wild elephant kingdom and amazing capturings of many elephants. hope you all are enjoying the beauty and excitements in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 😀 ❤ New fan here !* 🎁🎊
5:43 that last buffalo, he might be the leader of the herd. Unlike our leaders he made sure his mates are safely gone before leaving. Unlike our buffalo in Diyawanna.
Very friendly elephants ! As far as I know they would never hurt, if u let them be. But if a calf is hurt or if some one does some funny stuff, they would charge. In konkan, in Maharastra bengal tigers are spotted, in Junagadh in Gujarat, there's lion sanctuary. In Mudumalai jungles in Tamil Nadu there are elephants. Man n animals are comfortable with each other n no one croses their own boundaries.. Nice capture n beautiful surroundings..
Nice to see you dodging the road Marshalls 😁. By the way the brown unmilled rice is normally called paddy or rice paddy. The outer Hull is then removed through milling and then you get the edible rice.
A little caution: when ascending hilly roads, keep your distance with the vehicle in front. Incase if it brakes or halts while changing gear you might be in danger.
I see OH&S is not a strong point in the Rice Mill with all the spinning pulleys and belts, and I wondered what you meant about a 5 Legged Elephant, geez hehe.
Regarding rice milling machines they use there which are small scale, aren't very dangerous. Unless you try to jump into one chances of getting injured by one is very low. biggest Danger actually prolonged exposure to dust made by milling process.
Disclaimer !!! To any tourist who excited to do this in future !.If you just passing by it's ok. but if you are intentionally want to drive close to them, "Do dumb shit at your own risk". Do you know how many people die in a year by elephant attacks in Sri Lanka ?.They are cute and all but their moods can shift to calm to aggressive in seconds. when they get angry you can't run with them.
Trust me, Steve, there's parts I don't want to get involved with like being attacked by killer bees or wasps, or venturing out in the woods at night, cuz they're might be grizzly bears or wolves lurking around.
If the elephant is half way on the road and if you are ex or not sure whether it is an elephant in heat or not just stop and wait if they are at the edge you can fly through
@@Steve-Owens PS, on the's he's behind you. Where's there's one elephant, there may be more than one. You might be concentrating on the one you've seen, not the others. Same for the mothers and babies. They are protective. I went to the elephant sanctuary near where you are. GF was given a bottle to feed one of the babies. Blimmin' heck. They youngsters are fast. You need to be on the right side of the barrier. 200Kg of baby elephant, with no brakes, coming at you at speed....
