Odara Hotel & Restaurant

The price is reasonable, the owner is very nice, he satisfied my request to add eggs to the tomato soup!
As for the taste, it is Chinese food with local flavor, surprisingly delicious!
The service is very good, you can come here if you want to eat something light.

We ordered several dishes, none of which tasted good
Chinese fried crab: made from dead crabs, not fresh at all
Ocean pizza: super salty
Caesar salad: super sour and unpalatable, the fried bread inside was like old fried dough sticks
A fish dish: it was actually made from smoked fish

Then they provided the driver who brought us with a set meal, a fried rice, a curry and a dessert, which turned out to be the most delicious on the table, and we ate them all

Then the driver couldn&#39;t stand it anymore, so he helped us negotiate with the manager and refunded half of the pizza money

When talking about Safari, the first thing that comes to mind must be Africa.
Take a Safari at the southernmost tip of Asia, on the shores of the Indian Ocean.
Witness another charm of this shabby country.
I was immersed in the literary atmosphere of Sri Lanka the second before.
When you come to Yala National Park, the wildness and unrestrainedness immediately make people passionate.

Tissamaharama is the closest city to Yala.
It takes 2 hours to drive from Ella to reach this small town famous for Yala.

Originally planned for a half-day trip, the driver suggested that we take a full day to see more animals.
Since you are here, you should make the best of it. Let&#39;s go on a full-day Safari.
💳31,000 rupees for two people, including Sri Lankan special lunch-curry chicken/rice/potatoes/vegetables/fruits)
🎫Tickets: 12,500 rupees per person, let the driver buy it in advance, otherwise there will be a long queue at the entrance of the park.
⏰Depart at 5 am and drive for 1 hour to reach Yala National Park
Leave the park at 6pm and return
At noon when the sun is shining brightly, the animals are resting and tourists also have a two-hour lunch break

When we arrived at Yala National Park in the morning light, the park has not yet opened, but there are already 20 to 30 off-road Jeeps queuing on the road
The park opens on time at 6 o&#39;clock, and one Jeep after another roars towards the rising sun
An exciting day begins

You won&#39;t see large animals immediately after entering the park
The Jeep bumps on the dirt road, and there will be some animals such as peacocks, rabbits, buffaloes, and flying birds on the roadside
More scenery is drooping dead trees, shallows where animals drink water, and tangled weeds
If you haven&#39;t been to Africa, take these scenes as a substitute for African Safari

Each Jeep is equipped with a driver assistant who is responsible for observing animals
The driver has two important tasks: driving and exploring
The drivers call each other to find out where large animals appear
Everyone rushes to the goal together, and all tourists are enjoying it together

After a whole day of dusty Safari, I saw the most anticipated Leopards waiting for
Black bears, elephants, peacocks, sika deer, crocodiles, buffaloes, monkeys, black-tailed jungle fowl and other rare animals
It was a great harvest
But I also felt some of the tricks
These Jeep drivers have been running in the park for years and have figured out the living habits of animals and even the places where they often appear
So they drove around the shallows where the animals drank water all day
At 17:30, when everyone was a little disappointed that they hadn&#39;t seen the leopard yet
The driver received a call and rushed away
Sure enough, near a shallow beach, the leopard rested on a rock after drinking water
All Jeeps gathered here, and there was a staff member on the road chatting happily with the drivers
It was obviously this staff member who notified the driver that the leopard had appeared
Perhaps the staff and drivers knew that in this season, the leopard would only appear in the evening
But they had to &quot;put on enough show&quot; to lead tourists on a hunting trip for a whole day to make it worthwhile
Then at the last minute, they took everyone to see the most important &quot;guest&quot;
For full-day Safari ended perfectly

💙In any case, Yala Safari is an unforgettable and wonderful experience
It was the first time to walk into the home of wild animals and spend a happy day with them
I hope that people who love nature will better protect the earth&#39;s home

#Nature&#39;s Wonders

I recommend this restaurant, but they changed their name. Now it is called: Amrich Restaurant. The guy is very enthusiastic, very enthusiastic, and quite handsome. The boss is also very nice. You can try their special pineapple curry

Very good! The best meal in Sri Lanka, grilled fish and grilled chicken leg set, about 2500 rubles, delicious. What&#39;s more worthy of praise is that the environment is very, very good, near a wetland, there are various birds, and you can see many wild peacocks, which are perched on the trees next to their hotel. Their house is the best observation point. The interior of the hotel is very original, with beautiful flowers, hummingbird nests and hummingbirds. The key price is very affordable, accommodation is about 6600 rubles, and meals are about 2500 rubles, which is better than 5-star hotels, and it deserves a thumbs up

We ordered fried noodles and sandwiches, which tasted great. It can be said that this is the best restaurant we have eaten in Lanka in recent days. Fried noodles taste very Chinese. If you are tired of curry, you can try it. It will definitely be a surprise.
The environment is average, bugs are flying everywhere, and there are squirrels catching bugs on the roof lights.
Finally, because I have never taken a tutu, I asked the boss how much it costs to get to the homestay where we live. I showed him the map and said it was about 2.5 kilometers. He happily said that he would take us there for 300 rupees. As a result, he complained all the way that it was too far. He asked us for 500 when he got off the car, but in the end we insisted on only giving 300, which was very unpleasant.
