We hired a open pickup and did a two hour tour of the island. saw some lovely houses many deserted with owners living in colombo / overseas, kovils all being painted brillant colours, the boabab tree, the wild horses, the old fort. The travel over was an experience, crowded boat taking the office staff and teachers to the Island.

Mannar Island

Reviewed By chathuandishanka - Kalutara, Sri Lanka

You have many places to visit at Mannar island although many simply ignore this place due to the extreme hot weather and less facilities. But it’s a must visit at least once. Mannar is famous for flamingoes in the migratory season. You can see them beside the road connecting Mannar and main island. Some of the major attractions are Mannar fort, thaleimannar pier and light house, thaleimannar beach, adam’s bridge, Keeri beach. The Adam’s bridge is a must visit from all of this. Specially visit in evenings, the sunset view would be amazing. If you can get navy permission they’ll take you on a boat ride towards the first island of town he adams bridge. On the way to Mannar you can visit Doric bungalow, arippu fort, Madhu church and thanthrimale temple.
