Batticaloa is not yet a tourist hotspot in Sri Lanka, but it’s probably only a matter of time. Batticaloa was heavily impacted by Sri Lanka’s civil war and when my colleagues and I briefly stopped for a work trip in August, they were impressed with the improvements they saw around the city and the district. Let’s hope it continues.
How prevalent are the monitor lizards? Should I rethink my visit? No, for you I’ll brave anything!!!
