Trincomalee is one of Asia’s finest natural deep-water harbours, located on the northeast coast of Sri Lanka. The city is dominated by the Koneswaram Hindu temple, offering panoramic views across the bay. The coast is home to the beaches of Nilaveli and Uppuveli, the coral-rich Pigeon Island and the warm-water whale-watching grounds that attract visitors from April to September. Trincomalee is also home to the Kanniya Hot Springs, the historic Fort Frederick and the sacred Shankari Devi Temple, making it more culturally rich.
