Lost in the Wild, Found with Integrity 🇱🇰
On July 18, I lost my wallet inside Wilpattu National Park during a safari. It had all my essentials—IDs, cards, everything.
Thanks to the Wilpattu Tourist Police, especially Officers Sanjeewa Karunarathne & Piyal Gunatissa, we found it 5 days later—completely intact!
Their dedication, professionalism & kindness reminded me why Sri Lanka is a world-class tourist destination — not just for its natural beauty, but for its people.
Grateful to:
- The Wilpattu Tourist Police
- Wilpattu Park Management
- @Namalkamalgoda
- My friend Buddhika de Silva
- And the wildlife for guarding it!
Come visit Sri Lanka. The landscapes will amaze you, and the people will win your heart.

In 2019, Udaya Gammanpila claimed that "Shafi is a greater terrorist than Zahran" and urged the government to impose the death penalty on now exonerated/reinstated Dr. Shafi Shihabdeen under emergency law, accusing him of genocide/forcibly sterilizing over 1,000+ Sinhalese women.

Due to the serious risk posed by this threat, the Embassy has imposed a travel restriction on Embassy personnel for Arugam Bay effective immediately and until further notice.
The warning, 'strongly urges' U.S. citizens to avoid the Arugam Bay area until further notice.

An impressive Franck Muller, @nanayakkara77. Care to reveal how you obtained funds to purchase this luxury watch with your salary as a former minister in Sri Lanka?
On the Spot!! 🛺
As a street photographer, shooting this felt quite surreal — like setting a trap with a large net and waiting for my prey to fall into place. 🙈😊
