When it comes to alluring wonders of Sri Lanka’s east coast, one cannot forget the Pasikuda Beach since it’s one of the safest spots to spend some time. Read on to know more facts.
Passikudah Bay
This beautiful, curved bay features two pristine beaches; Passikudah beach which is a 2km long stretch of powder white sands and Kalkudah beach, a wide stretch of beach located 4km south of Passikudah. The coastlines near both beaches are calm, crystal clear and protected. Most of the best Passikudah beach hotels can be found adjacent to the beachfront, like The Calm Resort & Spa.
Batticaloa Lagoon
If you’re in Pasikuda and don’t pay a visit to the Batticaloa Lagoon, then you’ve made a huge mistake. Located just 30 minutes away from Passikudah, is the beautiful picturesque Batticaloa Lagoon that leads out to the sea. Most of the islands are accessible by bridges that connect the islands to the mainland; the biggest of which is the Lady Manning Bridge found at Kallady. At Kallady, you’ll find the famed ‘singing fish’!
Take a trip to the Sigiriya Lion Rock
You’ll certainly be mesmerized seeing this giant rock palace against the backdrop of lush green surroundings and clear blue skies. Sigiriya is located in the remote village of Matale district in Sri Lanka. The city gained utmost popularity when King Kashyapa converted the site into a fortress, palace and a pleasure garden.
Trip to Polonnaruwa
The richest archaeological site in the country, the ancient city of Polonnaruwa is filled with historical and important heritage relics and sites dating back over 2500 years. The city is one of the three significant locations that make up the island’s “Cultural Triangle”.
