Trincomalee to Arugam Bay Sri Lanka
Journey from Trincomalee to Arugam Bay Sri Lanka. Stopping at Marble beach and Kalkudah beach. Then having lunch in the Muslim city of Kattankudy. Arriving at the Tri Star Hotel Arugam Bay in the afternoon. A nice drive with a friendly driver Sonny who I hired for a week at 50 US dollars a day.
SRI LANKA: EAST COAST ROAD TRIP Jaffna | Trincomalee | Batticaloa | Passikudah | Arugam Bay
Exploring secret beaches, stunning food, temples, wildlife and surfers’ paradise on the undiscovered side of Sri Lanka. Read the full story here:
Sri Lanka is well-known as an island of contrasts. Thanks to a unique blend of climates, characters and cultures, visitors here can be sunbaked on a sweep of golden sand in the morning and, by afternoon, be pulling on a sweater in the mist-swirled, Scottish Highland-like peaks of Tea Country. I mean, where else on the planet can you watch blue whales in the Indian Ocean and wander around a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the same day? Even so, nowhere in Sri Lanka quite illustrates this island’s amazing contrariness like its coasts.
The west coast really needs no introduction. Buoyed by the close proximity of the island’s main gateway – Bandaranaike International Airport – it forms the backbone to most holiday checklists, featuring, as it does, some of Sri Lanka’s seminal tourist sights. From the beach resorts of Negombo and its hectic capital, Colombo, all the way down to the always-popular historic port and fort of Galle, it is a well-known and deservedly popular honeypot for travelers.
The east coast is the mirror opposite. Requiring a little more dedication to reach, it remains largely untouched and tourist-free, with the exception of its world-renowned surf Mecca – Arugam Bay. But aside from this enclave of hip boarders, those searching out a more serene and undiscovered experience of Sri Lanka should try weaving their way from Jaffna in the north to Okanda in the south, taking in Trincomalee, Batticaloa, Passikudah and Pottuvil. It’s a stunning ride and a legacy of the civil war is that the roads have been updated and repaired recently, meaning mostly frictionless flow from top to bottom, which is a rarity elsewhere on the island. The best way to experience it all is by car or van, with drivers and vehicles cheap to commission and giving travellers the chance to gape in wonder at the scenery and life drifting past the window.
Along the way, the east coast’s breathtaking array of temples, islands, wildlife parks and beaches reveal themselves to just as impressive as their west coast counterparts. Far more so, some would say. The major difference is that they are wonderfully quiet, retaining that sense of realness and character that is conducive to any true travel adventure. The differences don’t stop with ambience either. When the monsoon rains hammer the west coast, the east is bathed in sunshine. Aficionados of Sri Lankan cuisine will also note subtle shifts in spices and style that mean the food here is unlike the rest of the island. There are changes in the dialects of those cooking it too. This is because the west coast is largely Sinhalese, whereas the string of towns and villages on the east is mostly populated by Tamil and Muslim communities.
So for anyone seeking serenity, variety, character and off-the-beaten-path adventure, here’s our guide to Sri Lanka’s ultimate east coast road trip.
Pigeon Island National Park Sri Lanka
Pigeon Island National Park is one of the two marine national parks of Sri Lanka. The national park is situated 1 km off the coast of Nilaveli, a coastal town in Eastern Province, encompassing a total area of 471.429 hectares. The island's name derives from the rock pigeon which has colonized it. The national park contains some of the best remaining coral reefs of Sri Lanka. Pigeon Island was designated as a sanctuary in 1963. In 2003 it was redesignated as a national park. This national park is the 17th in Sri Lanka. The island was used as a shooting range during the colonial era.

Trincomalee - Sri Lanka by The Travelover
Trincomalee (Tamil: திருகோணமலை Tirukōṇamalai, Sinhala: තිරිකුණාමළය Trikuṇāmalaya) is the administrative headquarters of the Trincomalee District and major resort port city of Eastern Province, Sri Lanka. Located on the east coast of the island overlooking the Trincomalee Harbour, 113 miles south of Jaffna and 69 miles north of Batticaloa, Trincomalee has been one of the main centres of Tamil language speaking culture on the island for over two millennia. With a population of 99,135,[1] the city is built on a peninsula of the same name, which divides its inner and outer harbours. People from Trincomalee are known as Trincomalians and the local authority is Trincomalee Urban Council. Trincomalee city is home to the famous Koneswaram temple alluded to in its historic Tamil name Thirukonamalai and is home to other historical monuments such as the Bhadrakali Amman Temple, Trincomalee, the Trincomalee Hindu Cultural Hall and, opened in 1897, the Trincomalee Hindu College. Trincomalee is also the site of the Trincomalee railway station and an ancient ferry service to Jaffna and the south side of the harbour at Muttur.
The recorded history of Trincomalee spans more than two and a half thousand years beginning with civilian settlement associated with the Koneswaram temple in the pre-modern era. One of the oldest cities in Asia, it has served as a major maritime seaport in the international trading history of the island with South East Asia. In the ancient world, it was successively the capital of eastern kingdoms of the Vanni country, developing under the Pallava Dynasty, Chola Dynasty, Pandyan Dynasty, the Vannimai chieftancies and the Jaffna kingdom through the Koneswaram shrine's revenue. Trincomalee's urbanization continued when made into a fortified port town following the Portuguese conquest of the Jaffna kingdom, changing hands between the Danish in 1620, the Dutch, the French following a battle of the American Revolutionary War and the British in 1795, being absorbed into the British Ceylon state in 1815. The city's architecture shows some of the best examples of interaction between native and European styles. Attacked by the Japanese as part of the Indian Ocean raid during World War II in 1942, the city and district were affected after Sri Lanka gained independence in 1948, when the political relationship between Tamil and Sinhalese people deteriorated, erupting into civil war. It is home to major naval and air force bases at the Trincomalee Garrison. The city also has the largest Dutch fort on the island.
The Trincomalee Bay Harbour, bridged by the Mahavilli Ganga River to the south is referred to as Gokarna in Sanskrit, meaning Cow's Ear, akin to several areas of Siva worship across the Indian subcontinent. Its sacred status to the Hindus has led to the city being declared Dakshina-Then Kailasam or Mount Kailash of the South and the Rome of the Pagans of the Orient. The harbour is renowned for its large size and security; unlike any other in the Indian Ocean, it is accessible in all weathers to all craft. It has been described as the finest harbour in the world and by the British, the most valuable colonial possession on the globe, as giving to our Indian Empire a security which it had not enjoyed from elsewhere. Popular tourist destinations include its beaches at Uppuveli, Salli and Nilaveli, used for temple visits, surfing, scuba diving, fishing and whale watching, and the Kanniya Hot Springs. Trincomalee is served by a campus of the Eastern University, Sri Lanka and has been the inspiration of both domestic and international poetry, films, music and literature for many centuries.
Sober Island, Trincomalee (2018) - 2 of 3
This video series is about the beautiful Sober Island which is both a Wildlife Sanctuary and an Island Resort maintained by Sri Lanka Navy. Sober Island is located in the Trinco Bay with her little sister called Little Sober Island.
Trincomalee Bay, also known as Koddiyar Bay, is a bay in the Eastern Province, Sri Lanka. The bay is located by Trincomalee town on the north-east coast of the island. The bay includes a few islands: Round Island, Elephant Island and Clappenburg Island in the main bay, and Great Sober Island and Little Sober Island in China Bay. The latter two are wildlife sanctuaries.
Sober Island was first occupied by the French. Admiral Jacob Blaquet de la Haye in 1672 and by Admiral Suffren in 1782. The British took over the island after the Treaty of Paris in 1784 and later developed it for their military requirements and was essentially a military establishment. However before the British occupation of the island, the Dutch also forged a tug- of- war with the French to claim the island.
The Island was named as “Sober” in memory of late young British Lieutenant S. Sober. As Trincomalee became the home of the British Eastern fleet during the World War II, the British fortified the island with a battery of guns. It’s written in past conicals that Trincomalee was heavily defended against the Japanese Navy with the help of heavy artillery batteries located on the Sober Island. Also, during the World War II, the Island was a transit station for thousands of soldiers en-route to far East and the Mediterranean.
The 175 acre island elevating nearly 200m from the sea level was called “Isle du Soleit” by French meaning “Island of Sun” which was developed by Sri Lanka Navy as per the two site plans drawn in 1919 and 1922. The island is not merely touristic in appeal but contain relics of a by-gone era magnifying its appeal as a much sought after destination. There are French graves, World War II gun positions, underground ammunition storage complexes and many more symbols of British occupation.

Special Note for the Viewers:
I’ve done this video to make you aware of the beauty of this place and please don’t misuse this information in order to ruin it. I’ve spent so much of time/money bringing this to you so that you may enjoy it.
I also have a very kind and humble request to make. Should you ever visit this place, you’re kindly requested to adhere to the following in order to save our Mother Nature not only for the future generations but for the current one as well:
* Avoid careless/irresponsible/money-oriented/mega tour groups or organizers.
* Travel in small groups as Mother Nature can’t afford so many footprints at once. Stick to the designated trails or hardback surfaces at all times.
* Minimize the use of polythene/plastic and do bring them back. Please don’t burn them in the wilderness. Even organic/bio-degradable waste is harmful to the nature and animals. Please stick to the simple rule of “if you pack it in, pack it out”.
* Use reusable water bottles, plates and cups. Even paper cups/plates are harmful and take years to decompose.
* Remain quiet and vigilant. Don’t disturb the tranquility of the nature. Respect wildlife and don’t disturb them in anyway. Also be considerate of other trekkers.
* Please collect and bring any litter/garbage left behind by other careless travellers.
* Don’t light fires unnecessarily and do try to use portable cookers instead of using firewood when camping. If you must, only use firewood on the ground and don’t cut any trees for this.
* Don’t bring any plants back with you or cut any trees/branches unnecessarily..
* Don’t use soap/ shampoo when bathing in natural streams as they contaminate them and kill wildlife.
* Don’t do anything that harms the Mother Nature.

Sri Lanka East Coast : Trincomalee in a minute
Trincomalee is a city on the east coast of Sri Lanka. The city is built on a peninsula, which divides the inner and outer harbours. Overlooking the Kottiyar Bay, Trincomalee is one of the main centers of Tamil speaking culture on the island.
It is a very friendly city, not many tourists visit the place, except for a short visit of the dutch fort and the Kandasamy Kovil temple inside. It has 3 bays : One inland for the port, the Dutch Bay for swiming and one for the fishermen. About 16 km north should be a beach which is popular with tourist, but I skipped it because I am not so much of a beach fan.
