Adapting to nature in the Sinharaja Reserve if the budget receives $10 - Weekend Engagement 277

Greetings Hivers! How are you guys? I hope that you are spending really enjoyable weekend with beloved once. I'm back with another Weekend-Engagement topics: WEEK 277 who are hosting interesting topics each week @galenkp. Among the three titles he introduced this weekend, I decided to write content to What would you do this weekend if your entire spending budget was $10 (in your own currency) and you had to spend it on entertainment? 10 US dollars is 3200 Sri Lankan rupees. Although it is not a lot of money, it is a significant amount of money for recreation. Although I have visited many beautiful tourist destinations across the island, there is still one place that I would like to visit the most. Deniyaya in the Southern Province is my favorite place to stay, and the Sinharaja Rainforest Reserve is my favorite area to walk. Since the Sinharaja Rainforest is located about 75 kilometers from my home, the bus fare to and from the reserve costs less than 1000 rupees. In addition, the entrance fee to the reserve is only 300 rupees. If I save money for food, you will still have more money. Therefore, you can travel to the Sinharaja Rainforest for 10 dollars without staying in a hotel.

Although I love to travel, I don't like to travel in groups because it robs me of my peace of mind. Group trips often end in drinking parties, and if you camp at night, it's all too noisy. To listen to all the natural sounds of nature, we too must become silent. Night camping is not allowed in Sinharaja Forest. You must enter the forest at 9 am and come out before 4 pm. The Gin River flows throughout Sinharaja Forest. It forms various waterfalls and bathing pools before flowing towards the sea.

Once you enter the rainforest, you will not hear the sounds of humans, machines, or vehicles. All you can hear are the sounds of flowing water, birds, and wildlife. Stop for a while, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and focus only on those sounds. You will definitely feel like you have entered a heavenly world. Imagine if the mental freedom that comes from being directly connected to nature changes our lives. But many people get used to busy lives and do temporary fun activities. This is not a very optimistic act.

*I am not trying to say that other recreational activities are inappropriate at this point. I have only shown the one I enjoy most. What a wonderful experience it is to swim in a safe pool of cool, refreshing water, amidst the splashing of freshwater fish? How wonderful it is to see the sights of waterfalls cascading down from mountain peaks?

What a healthy thing to spend $10 on. It looks like an absolutely beautiful place to chill out.

Yes of course. There are some beautiful ways to chill out within small costs in my island.
