trincomalee

In ancient times Trincomalee is known as ‘Gokanna’ means ‘Cow’s ear’. According to the name, we can say, the history of Gokanna is definitely combined with Tamil culture. A cow is a sacred animal among Tamil people. And also there are a lot of Tamil sacred places that give evidence to that statement. Koneswaram temple is one of them. Most Tamil people who live all around the country, come to worship their God. Somehow, based on the Hindu culture, not only Hindu pilgrims Buddhist pilgrims also visit kovils and the most common language is Tamil. Therefore it can be considered as the Tamil cultural district. Gokannathiththa waraya which is nowadays called Trincomalee harbor is the most important thing that has more attention from other countries. The main point is, it is natural and it can anchor more ships without any trouble. That’s the reason most of the countries try to catch this precious harbor since ancient times to deal with their competitors. Because of this seaport, Sri Lankans have a major trading bond with the international market. It was recorded as the fifth natural seaport in the world.

The shallow white sand beach is the most eyecatching paradise among visitors that reduce the stress and allow them to enjoy well.
Scuba diving, whale watching, and surfing are famous activities can be done. Hot water springs are another major site in Trincomalee.
There are seven square shape wells with 3 or 4 feet in height. People trust the history of seven wells drops back to the Ravana era.
However, all the wells have not the same temperature. One spring to another has a significantly different temperature. Trincomalee proves
