TravelsOn Sri Lanka’s eastern shore, Batticaloa is a coastal town full of charm, culture, and quiet magic. Known as the “Land of the Singing Fish,” it’s famous for the mysterious sounds heard from the lagoon near Kallady Bridge which is a local legend that still captures hearts. The town stretches along the Batticaloa Lagoon, where fishermen paddle through still waters, and sunsets paint the sky in gold. The old Dutch Fort, built in the 1600s, stands as a reminder of colonial days, while churches, temples, and mosques show the town’s rich cultural blend. Visitors love strolling through Mahatma Gandhi Park, a peaceful green space by the lagoon perfect for relaxing evenings. Nearby, the Batticaloa Lighthouse offers panoramic views of the sea and town, a must-see for those seeking scenic beauty. In Batticaloa, life flows gently with culture in its rhythm, spice in its food, and poetry in its breeze. It’s a town that doesn’t shout, but sings softly to those who take time to listen.
