Global travel experts Lonely Planet recently lauded Northeast Sri Lanka as one of the world’s best places to travel during the month of August.
The guided book publishers cited a “hat-trick of reasons” to visit the region including sunny skies, quieter beaches, and exceptional value for money.
But don’t think of Northeast Sri Lanka as just a summer thing. Those kudos can easily be extended to a vacation at any time of year on the island’s lesser explored coast.
Tucked away from the usual tourist trails, the northeast coast is a hidden paradise waiting to be discovered. With golden beaches that stretch for miles, untouched coral reefs teeming with marine life, and a rich cultural tapestry woven from Tamil and colonial heritage, this region offers an experience that’s both serene and soul-stirring.
Whether you’re chasing adventure, seeking spiritual depth, or simply craving a quiet stretch of sand to call your own, Walkers Tours can show you the way on “Eastern Blue Bliss.” Among the highlights of this 12-day, 11-night journey are Sigiriya Rock, Trincomalee, the vibrant marine life of Pigeon Island, and the surfer’s paradise of Arugam Bay.
