Mannar!

Tantalising local food, Palmyrah Toddy, friendly and laid back locals make this unique island a part of Sri Lanka that has to be seen to believed. Recently “discovered” as one of the world’s best Kite Surfing Destinations, Mannar is now heralded as the last of Sri Lanka’s unspoilt and stunningly beautiful destinations located on the north-western edge of the island of Sri Lanka.
