Cutting across Sri Lanka’s dry zone, the journey by road to Mannar is relatively long, but it’s what the northern town has in store for visitors that makes the difference! With its swaying palm trees, the landscape largely varies from wooded jungles to paddy fields. The region is divided into the mainland and Mannar island – a tongue shaped peninsula linked by a causeway over the shallow waters. Talaimannar, the westernmost tip of the island, is almost connected to Dhanuskodi, the easternmost tip of the peninsula of Southern India by a reef of corals.
