Trincomalee is Sri Lanka’s great eastern treasure – a deep natural harbour, a dramatic clifftop Hindu temple, and some of the clearest, most marine-rich water on the island, all in a destination that most visitors have yet to fully discover. Pigeon Island National Park just offshore offers a coral reef of outstanding quality, and the whale and dolphin watching in the surrounding waters is world-class. The historic Koneswaram Temple perched on Swami Rock above the sea is one of Sri Lanka’s most dramatic and spiritually significant sites. A destination of genuine distinction that rewards those who make the journey east.
