Lagoons, rivers & coastlines: Everything you see flying Colombo to Batticaloa
Taking flight from Colombo to Battticaloa, all the way on the east coast of Sri Lanka is a journey studded with numerous places of interest and talking points. Be it the beauty of the coast, the ease at which rivers make their way through local villages or the lagoons that brim with many a wonder, this experience is destined to leave you in complete awe from start to finish.
Sri Lanka’s coastline that excites and enthrals
Once in the air, you will be met by the island nation’s glorious coastline. Watch as the deep blue merges magnificently with sandy beaches while charming fishing hamlets and thick greenery fall into focus for one truly spectacular scene.
Free-flowing rivers that give life
Moving eastward with Cinnamon Air will have you in prime position to catch a glimpse of winding rivers that cut through dense jungle, paddy fields, and rustic villages. Presenting a striking contrast to the allure of the coast, these rivers while offering a source of sustenance to farming communities essentially, match the languid pace of the Sri Lankan countryside.
Lagoons teeming with wildlife
With the east coast all but upon you, anticipate a slew of the country’s lagoons to warmly welcome you. Giving you an opportunity to spot migratory birds and a host of other wetland species, develop a sound understanding of these unique ecosystems while flying in air-conditioned comfort.
Batticaloa’s laidback vibe
As the final stretch approaches, buckle up and allow your curiosity to take over, as the Batticaloa Lagoon and the 17th century, coral stone hewn Dutch Fort loom large on the horizon. Having landed, you could tour Batticaloa and even reach Kalkudah Beach, which is famed for its colourful reefs and white, sandy shore to unwind on.
