North West – Salt Laced Trails
Explore the Northwest of Sri Lanka, a land of copper sands, salt roads, and untamed beauty.
Begin in Mannar, a windswept peninsula rich in history. Once a trading hub along the ancient Silk and Salt Roads, it now welcomes thousands of flamingos each season. Discover the rhythm of rural life—walk the salt pans, meet farmers, and embrace agri-tourism at its most authentic.
Head south to Wilpattu National Park, one of Sri Lanka’s oldest and most untouched sanctuaries. Here, leopards and elephants roam among natural lakes known as “villus”. Beyond the wildlife, this land holds legend—Thambapanni’s copper sands, where Prince Vijaya is believed to have first set foot.
Feel the wind rise as you reach Kalpitiya, where the lagoon meets the ocean in a stunning ballet of blues. Home to dolphins, whales, and the country’s best kite-surfing, Kalpitiya draws thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike. Glide across flat lagoons or relax as spinner dolphins leap at dawn.
Stay in eco-resorts or boutique hotels nestled among coconut groves and sandy spits. Whether sipping king coconut under a palmyrah tree or watching flamingos take flight, this is Sri Lanka in its raw, unfiltered form.
