From Batticaloa, Kallady, Pasikudah and Arugam Bay stays.
Lagoons, reefs and old stone forts.
Batticaloa sits on a lagoon that runs for 56 km. Everything else on the coast is a short, green drive away.
The east coast runs on its own calendar.
While the south and west get the monsoon, our seas are flat and clear from April to September. November is the northeast monsoon. Culture tours still run.

Travel that stays in Batticaloa.
We started Excape Explore Experience to show people the east coast we grew up with, not just the beach resorts. Your money goes to local canoe men, home cooks and family guesthouses.
- Local families host every meal and village visit
- A mangrove seedling planted for every lagoon tour
- No plastic bottles on board — refill stations instead
“We paddled through the mangroves at sunrise, then ate crab curry in our guide's aunt's kitchen. The best day of our whole Sri Lanka trip.”
Come and see the east.
