Mannar: Sri Lanka’s Historic Coastal Gateway

Travel there safely and comfortably with CCT Sri Lanka.

Nestled on Sri Lanka’s northern coast, Mannar is a hidden gem where history, culture, and nature come together. As early as the 7th century BC, Achaemenid emperors praised Mannar for its remarkable pearls, symbols of a thriving maritime heritage. Ancient Greek records over 2,400 years ago also noted pearls from Taprobane. Over time, Mannar attracted many notable visitors, including the Chinese scholar Fa-Hsien in 411 A.D. and the Arab explorer Ibn Battuta in 1344 A.D., both marveling at the treasures of the King’s royal treasury.
