Bangkok Excursion with Little Jay (Jay’s first overseas travel experience) 1 - Tour Planning



Both Sandeepa (my loving wife) and I are displaying so many thing in common. Those not limited to our likes and dislikes, but also to our habits and behavior. So, there’s no doubt both of us love to travel together too...We started travelling together form the wedding day itself and continued even more frequently.

With the arrival of our new little daughter 'Jay', we had to limit our excursions for a while giving  priority to her. After completing couple of months age, once again we began exploring new destinations within the country with our little Jay. However, we wanted to give her a foreign travel experience sooner as possible, after she turned one and half years.

A Trek to Remember from Ohiya to Bambarakanda through 'The Devil's Staircase'

The scenic view from the top of Devil's Staircase...
As truly as meant by the name itself, 'The Devil's Staircase' is one of the most adventurous and challenging trails in Sri Lanka without any doubt. This path connects Ohiya and Kalupahana Junction and is the closest route if you'e travelling to Horton Plains National Park from Colombo - Batticaloa (A4) main road. This famous route is little over 14 kilometers long trail of sharp zig-zag twists, that are extremely steep and difficult, but quite thrilling to travel.

I accidentally first saw this adventure in an article shared on Facebook. While going through it and seeing the photographs shared, I wanted to experience it real by myself. So, after wasting a lot of time in gathering a team and fixing dates, finally a weekend was chosen to explore this adventure with three other friends, Vikum, Sandun & Janitha.
