Travelling approximately 250km just to get a Tan is a laugh, but if it is for Nilaveli and Uppuveli beaches at Trincomalee (dearly addressed as 'Trinco') then it's perfectly alright! You are not only able to get the glowing bronze skin you always wanted. But you'll also be able to watch whales and dolphins swim, visit the World War II cemetery if the sorrowful era tickles your thirst for knowledge, favourite suicidal spots named as 'Lovers Leap', Hindu Kovils and colonial architecture dotting the topography.

 

Situated on the North East coast of Sri Lanka, Trincomalee with its magnificent coast, sandy beaches and sunny weather is becoming increasingly popular among visitors. Its natural harbour, Fort Fedrick, Hot wells and Tirukoneswaram Temple are some of interesting places to visit. 

 

For addicts and the adulators of sun, sea and surf, the Beaches of Trincomalee offers a value experience unmatched from April to November, a fact one must remember in selecting the days of your Sri Lanka Flights.

 

The cliff has a forbidding drop of more than 30 meters to the sea below. It is called the Lovers Leap, and is associated with a romantic legend of a maiden who jumped to her death from the sheer cliff edge. She had not wished to suffer the anguish of watching her fickle lover sailing in.  

All this and more, when you Holiday in Sri Lanka.
