Document the wild and windswept regions of the East
The eastern coast of Sri Lanka is one of the island’s least visited and most photographically rewarding regions. Its landscapes are defined by ancient faith, maritime heritage, and raw coastal beauty. From cliff-side temples and geothermal springs to weathered Dutch fortifications and tranquil lagoons, each location offers a distinct and unhurried environment largely undiscovered by conventional tourism.
Your East Coast photography tour follows the eastern shoreline south at a photographer’s pace. From the dramatic cliff-side sanctuary of Koneswaram and the turquoise waters of Sandy Cove to the historic ramparts of Batticaloa Fort and the traditional outriggers of the Navalady sand spit, every detail of the photography tour — transport, accommodation, and access — is handled from start to finish.
