Overview

Explore the windswept beauty and rich heritage of Mannar, an often-overlooked gem on Sri Lanka’s northwest coast. Known for its Baobab trees, ancient forts, sacred shrines, and serene coastal landscapes, Mannar offers a unique blend of colonial history, Tamil-Muslim-Christian heritage, and natural beauty.

This full-day tour takes you across the causeway to Mannar Island, where you’ll witness the iconic Baobab tree (over 700 years old), visit the Mannar Fort built by the Portuguese and later occupied by the Dutch, and stroll along the quiet shores near Adam’s Bridge (Ram Setu) — a chain of limestone shoals said to be part of the legendary link between India and Sri Lanka.
