Abay is now on place 4 !
With so many good surf spots around the world, a perfect wave is breaking somewhere right now. What makes a surf spot better than another? Most surfers would agree that the quality of the wave has to be very high. To be the best, it has to break consistently and provide a barrel section where the wave goes hollow. Also, the longer it goes for, the better. Herea??s our list of the best surf spots in the world.

SriLankan Air Taxi takes to the skies again
SriLankan Airlines will re-launch its domestic float plane service – SriLankan Air Taxi – commencing December in time for the winter tourist season.
SriLankan’s Head of Worldwide Sales Mohamed Fazeel said ” We will shortly be adding a new dimension to domestic travel, enabling travellers to reach most parts of the island within 40 minutes. International visitors arriving in Sri Lanka can go straight on to their destinations with convenient connections.”
SriLankan is planning to acquire two Twin Otter aircraft for the operation, each with a capacity of up to 15 passengers.
These twin-engined aircraft are currently being sourced. “SriLankan Air Taxi will supplement the country’s existing land-based domestic air services, as there are many parts of the country in which aerodromes are not conveniently located, but there are plenty of rivers and lakes that can serve as waterdromes.

one such stand out is the devastating Tsunami that wiped out half of Arugam Bay’s Historical stock prices exelon corp buildings, houses and its population in 2004. However, due to its popular attractions and its waves that enthral a surfer, this bay has significantly recovered over the years. Tourists from all walks of life have come together to make Arugam Bay one of the country’s most preferred destinations. The beach here is known among many as one of the best around the world and with its picturesque settings and its tranquil atmosphere, makes Arugam Bay an adventure for a traveller worth discovering. The Arugam Bay Surf Point is far more superior to the other parts of the beach due to the extensive work that has gone into it; this section of the bay was transformed from a wreck to a beautiful coastal paradise. Arugam Bay is also known for its fishing hamlets and sea folk that gather themselves into fishing boats and sail the seas of the bay, bringing in a fine catch of ocean specimen for their families and to seek their daily livelihood. Another spectacle at this place is its vibrant nightlife and parties almost during each weekend, so a traveller will be fascinated with the area’s activities and other relaxing recreations.

This small remote area in the Island of Sri Lanka has a populace of over 2,500 residents and is probably one of the country’s most treasured coasts. Continue reading ‘Arugam Bay a??

In Memory of Herrn Wolfgang Heilman
Arugam.info has been informed that Wolfgang Heilman, known as “The Monkey Man” throughout Sri Lanka has died in Cameroon, Africa.
The report has so far not independently confirmed, but it is believed that he contracted Malaria and passed away as a result of his untreated condition.
The mainly uneducatedA? Arugam Bay Community never really understood him. His outstanding contribution as well as totally unselfish support for our remote Bay has never been noted by most.
Specially after the 2004 Tsunami, he gave up his German job, risked and lost his good relationship with his Thai wife.
And, within hours after the Boxing Day waves,A? he transformed this very web site into the world’s first, trueA? Community based Tsunami Self-Help Web Site.
A strong critic of affluent and wasteful and mainly totally uselessA? NGO’s (“Enjoy’s”) he concentrated later in helping endangered species, and with the support of AbHa and a few German donors an animal orphanage was established in the grounds of the Siam View at Arugam Bay.
Often totally misunderstood by greedy locals, who demanded cash for luxuries such as mobile phones and motorbikes, he turned away from human support inA? jealousy dominated Sri Lanka.
After trying his best to assist the island and preserve its outstanding wildlife and Nature, he received no support himself at all. Indeed, organizations shunned and obstructed his work. As a result, be moved to West Africa, where he continued to do what he loved best:
To look after our planets greatest asset:
Our Nature,animals and wild life.

Nancy has really wanted to engage with elephants while in Sri Lanka; she so loves them. We looked into the possibility of visiting elephant orphanages and retirement centres.
One at Kegalle on the way to Kandy looked like it might work. It’s run by a Westerner, but wea??ve heard some murmurings about questionable ethics as it maintains a breeding programa??for what purpose? A clearly legitimate sanctuary, also at Kegalle, was a possibility, but the gate fee is rather expensive for our budget.
The third option was one we took up while visiting Arugam Baya??an elephant safari, something thata??s offered in a number of Sri Lankan national parks. Of course, you cana??t get too close, so photographs are only possible under unexpected circumstances or with good telephoto equipment. We hired a tuk-tuk and driver through our hotel and at 4:00 p.m. headed out along the main highway to Lahugala National Park about fifteen kilometres out of town. In the excitement of the journey, I wasna??t as attentive as I might have been to the amazing savannah landscape and arid woodlands as I was on the return journey; so our first palpable experience was the goal of arriving at a huge expanse of savannah grassland with shallow lakes off in the distance 
Elephant Between Tres
. Our guide informed us that the entire landscape would remain under shallow water during the rainy season and become a sea of wetland sanctuary for all manner of water and wading birds that would share the land with the hundred or so wild elephants that live there.
No sooner had we arrived than we saw off in the middle distance three elephants browsing on the grassland with another seven or eight in the far distance. We left the Cheap midamor

We attempted to find a short cut from Arugam Bay to Tissamaharama by heading along the coast through Yala National Park, a bite-sized chunk of parkland out of the South-East corner of the map of Sri Lanka; but we could discover no means of transit and were advised that there were towns approaching it that were still militarily impassable.
(editor’s note: This is incorrect. There simply is no road, and no town at all)

3 wheelers need to tidy up their mode of ethics
Consequently our journey became a six-hour bus ride in searing heat, particularly when one added the heat from the constantly overworked engine and gearbox of the bus, and the heat thrown up from the black asphalted roads. We knew it would be an exhausting day, but we’re getting pretty used to this and can always console ourselves with the thought that things could be worsea??we could be travelling by train! Before our bus ride could begin, however, we had a few little snags to overcome.
No matter who we asked, we got a different answer about what busses were leaving Arugam Bay and at what times. Absolutely no official information! We were up early enough to make a leisurely start; but by the time we were out at the roadside, a very convincing tuk-tuk driver lied and said wea??d missed the direct bus from Arugam Bay. 
Sakura Guest House With Hosts
He convinced us that we needed to cross the causeway into Potuvil, which was a short enough journey, so we let him take us. As we arrived at the bus stand in Potuvil, a bus pulled out and roared off. A dozen tuk-tuk drivers howled in convincing chorus that it was the only bus of the day to get us to Tissamaharama.
One tuk-tuk driver convinced us (against all logic) that he could catch the bus if we hopped in his tuk-tuk quickly. After a few kilometres of falling further and further behind, we told him to return us to Potuvil. Despondently, we disembarked and were trying to pull ourselves together to consider our options when another bus went screaming by. This time a tuk-tuk driver who was quickly on the ball pulled up beside us and urged us Continue reading ‘Canadians and the AbaY Tuk Tuk scam mafia’
