Mullaitivu District

Mullaitivu District lies on Sri Lanka’s northeast coast and offers long beaches, lagoons and sparsely developed landscapes. The area remains quieter than the country’s main tourist regions, appealing to travellers interested in remote coastal scenery and exploring Sri Lanka’s northern and eastern routes. Mullaitivu town, its coastline and the Nanthi Kadal lagoon area are important points of interest, while Kokkilai and surrounding wetlands attract birdlife. The district is best explored as part of a broader northern journey, connecting the eastern coast with Kilinochchi, Vavuniya and the Jaffna Peninsula.
