Discover Trinco

This is an invitation to an enriching morning excursion to discover the port city, its culture, history, religious beliefs, its wonders and its charm. The journey begins at the 7th deepest natural harbour in the world. Explore the harbour mouth across the lagoon, settled amidst fourteen majestic mountains.

Thereafter visit the Koneswaram Temple dedicated to the Hindu God Shiva, the shrine built by a South Indian King was destroyed by the Portuguese in 1622. The temple of thousand columns was shoved over the cliff into the deep blue sea. Observe the magnificent view from Swami Rock and the famous Lovers Leap steeped in a romantic folktale. 

Saunter through Fort Fredrick, a well preserved Portuguese gateway constructed with the remnants of the destroyed Koneswaram Temple. Finally a visit to the Commonwealth War Heroes graves will complete the tour of the city by the sea. Having glimpsed through the colonial past of Trincomalee a warm invitation to discover the locality and traditions will be extended by the local villagers.

Castaway in Pigeon Island

Be whisked away to an island paradise. The rocky outcrop which encircles the land is home to blue rock pigeons; the endemic inhabitant of the island. The translucent waters make it the perfect destination for snorkelling. The island fringed by the two hundred meter long and hundred meter wide coral fringe is a kaleidoscope of colour and textures. Walk the soft white sandy beaches and sunbathe while engrossed in a book. 

This is a half a day excursion to engage in an activity of your choice; once you have discovered the island the decision to leave will be difficult to make. However the spectacular lunch spread that has been laid out for you in the hotel garden will tempt you to return to the hotel.
