Trincomalee
Sri Lanka’s equivalent to the Maldives, Trinco’s never-ending white sandy beaches, coral islands and shimmering blue seas, is distinctly different from the coastal areas of the rest of the island.

Trincomalee’s natural harbour – considered to be the finest in the world, can be viewed from the Konewswaram Kovil & Swami Rock situated on a rock outcrop
