Overview
East Coast of Sri Lanka
The East of Sri Lanka is where you should look to for a relaxing and scenic getaway. It has some of the most beautiful undisturbed beaches on the entire island, and an atmosphere of such tranquillity that you might think someone’s put the world on pause! That said, there are still plenty of lively activities to be found here. Water sports in particular are a popular choice of entertainment, with surfers and divers in the majority. Batticaloa is one of the main cities of the region, and Trincomalee is the capital. This is a popular region due to its peacefulness and calm environment of shallow lagoons, temperate waters and extensive coast lines.
The city was founded by Samuel Baker, which perhaps explains why Nuwara Eliya has such a British feel to it. The outskirts of Nuwara Eliya in particular show a lot of examples of British colonialist heritage. The village feel, with rose gardens and traditional style houses gives the ambience a quaint feel. Attractions and sights such as the racecourse and 18 holed golf course only add to this.
Nuwara Eliya is an extremely prosperous looking part of Sri Lanka and throughout most of the year appears bountiful with markets selling fresh vegetables, and beautiful flowers blossoming in the countryside around April. It has a healthy appearance, offering peace and a refreshed outlook on life. The air here is also cooler than other parts of Sri Lanka, especially in the evenings.
