| | Unique Hike to Single Tree Hill, Nuwara Eliya | |

This is a unique experience we would love to give our guests as its a quick hike we took while our stay at Nuwara eliya.. i would say its one of the calm & beautiful hikes anyone can do. and to capture this lovely random shot while i was far away from the rest.

Travelling is something which most of us love & it has become a life style of many of us. For me, Instagram certainly helps me to keep and share the beautiful memories & experiences, making it my own scrap book for the journey of Life to be proud of for who i am.

The brown fish Owl is one of the largest Owl species who are native from Turkey to South & Southeast Asia (Least Concern on the IUCN 3.1)
Brown fish owls have such a unique behavior when it comes to the mating season & their mating calls are so unique. They have the ability to turn their head 360• & with super night vision goggled eyes!!

The Brown Fish-Owl feeds primarily on fish, frogs and freshwater crabs. Other prey items such as crayfish, snakes and lizards are taken. It may occasionally catch rodents, birds and large insects, and sometimes carrion.
They are more often crepuscular & nocturnal, but it can be seen by day too, flushing from its daytime roost, especially in cloudy weather.

Srilankan train rides are one of the miracle rides that you can wave back and say we just saw the Heaven.
Always the best views are onto your right hand side from Colombo.

Travelling can be one of the best Medicine for many of us!
Travel can be an addiction, and the memories it create will be the best Pill.
Some are travel addicts, some travel Bloggers or Youtubers but we all have the same type of infection 😂🏃🇱🇰

Crocodile with Russel's Viper Kill
- A very rare sighting
Yala National Park, Sri Lanka 19.05.2018

Yesterday we were very fortunate to come across a very rare sighting of a Crocodile with a huge Russel's Viper kill. First we thought it was a python due to the enormous size, but then I noticed the unmistakable chain of spots along the spine and realized it was a Russel's Viper kill. The croc wasn't very big, and was tossing the viper this way and that to try and break it into smaller swallow-able pieces, giving quite a show!

Location: An un-named Wala, on the Buthuwa Open Plains, just before the Buthuwa Spill/Akasachaithya Trail Junction, on the right hand side, when heading towards Patanangala.

A big thanks to Wild Edge for the brilliant organizing of this trip. Please contact them if you are looking for any wildlife adventures in Sri Lanka. Ethical operators like them who are determined to give the animals the space they need are not very easy to find.
