My trips to Trinco and Batti in August were quick so I was only able to snap some pictures, not really enjoy my time there. The beaches in Trinco are beautiful, and the city also has a special charm about it. I’ll be glad to go back to explore more. Similar to Jaffna, Trinco was also heavily impacted by the war, but is in the midst of making a recovery, in large part thanks to all of the tourists coming its way.

During my Peace Corps years in Sri Lanka we weren’t allowed to go to Trinco or Batti due to the war. I’ve always wondered what they looked like – some of my students were from that region and always spoke about how lovely the area was. I would have to agree with them and you -beautiful photos!~
