Sri Lanka road trip: 10 days by Tuk-Tuk

Asia Destinations

Strange as it may seem, Sri Lanka has never been on my bucket list. Mostly because it doesn’t have white sandy beaches, like the neighboring Maldives or some other Asian countries. However, Sri Lanka is only a 2-hour flight from Mumbai and since I was in India on business, I figured it was time to add a new country to my list. I just didn’t want to do it the classical way, so we decided to go for the adventurous Sri Lanka road trip option. In this post, you’ll find everything you need to know about Sri Lanka, especially if you plan to self-drive in this hectic, yet beautiful country.

Safari v Južni Afriki

Potovanja Slovenski kotiček

Safari v Afriki je bila moja velika želja že od malih nog, a mi je bil cenovno dolgo časa nedostopen. Oziroma, bom rekla takole: za ta denar si lahko na drugih destinacijah privoščiš precej več, zato sem z obiskom odlašala, dokler nisem naletela na Vuyani. In ostalo je zgodovina. V tem članku bom opisala osnovne informacije, kako organizirati safari v Južni Afriki in okvirne stroške potovanja. Najina različica je dokaj luksuzna, zato bom zraven pripisala tudi, kako lahko safari doživite ceneje.

Resort review: Vuyani River Lodge (Hoedspruit, South Africa)

Africa Hotel reviews South Africa

Hotel review: The Oberoi Beach Resort, Lombok

Asia Hotel reviews Indonesia

Ah, dear Oberoi Lombok, where shall I start? Perhaps with the scent of plumerias in your lush green gardens, which will stay in my memory forever?

Čudovita Indonezija: Potovanje na Lombok

Potovanja Slovenski kotiček

V Lombok sem se zaljubila leta 2018, ko sva bila zaradi uničujočega potresa takrat ena redkih turistov na otoku. Prijetni spomini na čudovito naravo, odlično lokalno hrano in slastno tropsko sadje so bili močnejši od zbledelih slik podrtih stavb, žalostnih oči obupanih domačinov in praznih letovišč. Tokrat, ko sva po natanko 6 letih otok obiskala ponovno, je potovanje na Lombok v meni pustilo mešane občutke. Kar se od takrat ni popolnoma nič spremenilo, so čudovita narava, odlična hrana in cene, ki so zaradi depreciacije valute ostale res nizke. Pričakovala sem precej več gneče in preporod turizma, naletela pa na precejšen kulturni šok.
