In-Depth Information
Irakkandy-Trincomalee buses run every 20 minutes; flag one down on the main road for
Trincomalee (Rs 14, 20 minutes) or Nilaveli (Rs 14, 10 minutes). Three-wheelers cost Rs
350 to Trinco and Rs 500 to Nilaveli.
Nilaveli
Nilaveli, the Trinco region's other beach resort, is far less intimate than Uppuveli, with ho-
tels scattered up and down little lanes off the coastal highway - it's around four kilometres
from one end of the village to the other. If you're looking for some serious beach time,
then Nilaveli could be just the ticket, for the sands are golden and the ocean inviting. Off-
shore, Pigeon Island offers fine diving and snorkelling.
