Fishing in the Mangroves

A quiet boat ride along a tranquil lagoon with its mangroves providing an ethereal canopy, allows travellers to experience the simple lives of the local fishermen. This haunting habitat is home to an abundance of endemic and migratory birds, making it one of the top birding hotspots in Sri Lanka. Crocodiles, monkeys, and even elephants are frequently spotted in these untouched parts.

A ride along the lagoon at dusk, with Trincomalee’s trademark sunset in the backdrop, is the perfect setting for you to try your hand at a little fishing among the mangroves in Sri Lanka, should you wish to unleash the angler in you.
