Seven natural hot springs believed to be created by Ravana's arrows in the Ramayana epic. It sits below the headline sights but earns its place on a longer visit to Trincomalee.
What It Is
You'll walk between seven circular stone-lined wells filled with naturally heated water. The mineral-rich water feels surprisingly warm against your skin, while steam rises from the surface creating an almost mystical atmosphere.
Why Visit
Experience a unique geological phenomenon tied to Sri Lankan mythology. It is not the first thing you should see in Trincomalee, but with two or more days it fills a gap the major sights leave. Mornings are quieter if you want to take your time.
