Batticoloa, Sri Lanka - Batticaloa, Sri Lanka

Batticoloa is about 300km from Colombo

Batticoloa or Batticaloa, Sri Lanka is home to the famous ‘singing fish’. During the months of April and September on moonlit nights, it is said you can hear a musical vibration emanating from the waters of the lagoon that surrounds Batticoloa. 'Batti' as it is known locally, has a small well preserved Dutch fortress but generally speaking is a quiet place with little else to offer.
