Koneswaram Temple, Eastern Province, Sri Lanka

A sacred temple with a view
There is something exhilarating about standing on the top of a rock and taking in a magnificent view. From this temple, which is as close to God as anyone can get here in Trincomalee, the views over the Indian Ocean are sublime. There are small shrines built into the cliff and it is lovely to stand with Hindu devotees as they perform their rituals. The temple, the people, and the wonderful view make this place a worthy place to visit. On our way down the hill, after collecting our shoes, we sat in a coconut cafe, high above the cliff, sipping coconut water whilst immersing ourselves with this unforgettable cultural experience.

Magical Kovil with Magical View
One of my favourite Hindu Kovils in Sri Lanka. Way to Thirukonrshvaram through Fort itself is full of amazing sceneries including dears both sides of the road. The small market just before the Kovil is also really colorful and last June I bought so many stuff from there. With my mediocre Tamil Proficiency I managed to learn a lot about Tamil kings and the history behind this Kovil. The view of the sea from the Kovil is simply magical.

Beautiful temple
A must see temple in Trincomalee with such a beautiful view. This temple holds a lot of history and is situated right by the water and looks out to the mountain. There are many street vendors and a cafe along the way if you want to grab a quick bite and buy souvenirs.
