Today from the Exinkai news, I have something very good to let you know. Now we have a facebook fan page for our blog. This is something that we hadn’t over the last several months after we started Exinkai travel blog for the first time in February 2011. At the present, majority of online websites, blogs and forums have their own facebook fan pages. So we also thought that we can give more travel news updates for you through facebook, if we also have a fan page and we successfully achieved that target yesterday. Go to “Exinkai Networks” on our home page and there you can see the link to our new facebook fan page. Read the rest of this entry »

There is a liveliness in the cool, salt tinged breeze, the soft rustling of leaves and the effervescence of foam upon the beach, that blends with the distant call of a wild peacock, the trumpeting of elephants or the belling of an exited sambhur. Their harmony gives character and enchantment to the national parks of Sri Lanka, perhaps the oldest in Asia. Read the rest of this entry »

Kumana, a magical name to all Sri Lankans, was alive again. The month of May heralds the breeding season and the tranquillity of this 600 acre mangrove swamp is shattered by the grating voices of the stork family, easily the most unmelodious of bird noises. Worse is the fact that it is augmented only by the clapping of beaks which, pathetically is their idea of a love song.

If elephants are the pride of Yala, then leopards weave a magical spell in Wilpattu. If in Yala they were furtive or distant, here their composure borders on suavity and visitors have not felt the pulse of this big park who were not lucky enough to see at least one leopard.

The topography of this comparatively new park bears little resemblance to the other two parks in Sri Lanka. It lies deep in the interior of the country in the lower foothills of the Uva province. It is 99 sq. miles in extent. Of course it has not sea frontage, lagoons or large waterholes but is still made beautiful by the low hills and shallow valleys, streams, rivers and the placid waters of the Senanayake Samudra which traces its arc like southern boundary. It is ideal country for a foot safari. Read the rest of this entry »

Konark sun temple situated in the north eastern corner of Puri (Orissa) is a prime spot for the tourists and pilgrims in India. The Konark sun temple has derived its name from two Sanskrit words, Kona means corner and Arka means sun. It is dedicated to the God of Sun. At the present, even after so many years, it still reflects the explicit talent and the genius of the ancient artisans. The temple is one of the most renowned temples in Hindustan and is a world heritage site. It is also one of the seven wonders in India.
