Where is Trincomalee

Trincomalee, often referred to as Trinco or Trincomalee, stands as one of Sri Lanka's most renowned resorts. Wondering where Trincomalee is? It graces the northeastern coast, nestled within a sheltered bay that shields the town from prevailing winds. This advantageous location blesses the resort with year-round sunshine. Compared to other Sri Lankan resorts, Trincomalee boasts a drier and warmer climate.

Trincomalee's foundation lacks a precise date, but it gained fame when Admiral Nelson discovered Trinco Bay. Since then, this bay has claimed the title of the world's deepest natural harbor.

The population of Trincomalee is over 99,000 out of Sri Lanka's total population of 21 million. Like the rest of Sri Lanka, Trinco has a majority of the population who are Buddhists. Therefore, a tourist will find a large number of Buddhist temples and Buddha souvenirs in this city.

Despite the relative remoteness of the city from the international airport (Trinco is 7-8 hours drive from the main airport of the country), it is very popular with tourists. It's even safe to say that travelers love the place.
