Why Visit Trincomalee

Trincomalee is Sri Lanka's east coast jewel — a natural harbour town with stunning blue water beaches, ancient Hindu temples, and some of the best snorkelling and whale watching in Asia. The best season to visit is May to October when the east coast enjoys calm seas while the south and west experience monsoon. Nilaveli Beach and Uppuveli Beach are among Sri Lanka's most pristine.

Driver Tip: The best time to visit Trincomalee is May to October when the east coast is at its most beautiful. The drive from Colombo passes through Habarana and the Cultural Triangle — consider stopping at Sigiriya or Polonnaruwa en route.
