In the jungle just a few hundred meters from the main road lies an ancient shrine. It's still in use and it's a nice and quiet place in the jungle. Around it are massive stone hills. The beautiful shrine is also known as jungle Ganesh.

- This was located in Tricomalee face to see side with nearly 9 small islands. - This is under control of Sri Lanka Navy and if you need to visit there first you need to get approval from them. It's not big process and you can request on arrival. But better if you can inform before. - We were visited there by SL Navy boat and it was fantastic journey with lots of experiences. - Navy members gave us lots of knowledge about this harbor and it was interesting. - One special thing is this has only 2 entry points and because of it's structure large ships can stop there with safely. This is only for you information and i know you can't come with a ship :) - We can see lots fisher men there since fish population is high in this area. - Also you need hear all instructions that gave from Navy guys since you need to be safe when travelling with boat.
