Highlights
- Pigeon Island National Park - The first place you visit once you get there will be the beautiful islet off Trincomalee coast, Pigeon Island. This has been the nesting grounds for the local rock pigeons for centuries. Its verdant slopes boast a number of other fauna and flora, in addition to the pigeons.
- Kanniya Hot Springs - You will be travelling to the hot wells of Kinniya. These ancient wells were once part of the Temple City that surrounded Koneswaram but is now separate due to the lands of the temple being taken over by the city. There are a number of hot well springs in Kinniya; each of which has a different temperature that can be felt at touch. Whilst there, take note of the ruins of the old Shiva Temple nearby that was destroyed during the recent civil wars.
- Koneswaram Temple - After the hot wells, you will be visiting Thirukoneswaram Temple. While proven historical evidence shows that itâs at least 3000 years old; legends speak of it having an age of over 5,000 years. You will be able to view the fascinating architecture; which is more recent due to the temple having been rebuilt after its destruction during the Portuguese era. There is also an exciting little rocky path that leads to a secretive cave where you will be able to see the primitive and ancient shrine that the temple started from.
- Marble Beach - Your final destination will be Marble Beach. This stretch of coast is known for its smooth white sands and clear waters. You will be able to sunbathe or play in the sea and after which you will begin the drive back. The tour will conclude when you get back to your hotel in Sigiriya.
