Cycling to Palamunai in Batticaloa

Discover the charm of Batticaloa’s villages on a guided cycling adventure through winding lanes and hidden gems.

Covering 20 to 25 km in short, manageable stretches, this journey can also be enjoyed by three-wheeler, though cycling offers a more immersive experience. In ‘Palamunai Colours’, ride along the scenic coastline, visit the bustling fish market, and explore seasonal organic gardens. Meet skilled handloom weavers crafting vibrant sarees and sarongs, preserving generations of artistry.

Pause to observe the midday prayer at a local mosque, offering a glimpse into spiritual life. A welcoming family will prepare a traditional meal, sharing authentic flavors and warm hospitality. Continue to Kattankudy, a dynamic town rich in history and commerce. Visit the Heritage Museum for insights into its past, and if time allows, explore a Madrasah, a center of Islamic education.

This journey is more than just a ride—it’s an immersion into culture, tradition, and the heart of Batticaloa’s vibrant communities.
