offices. This sea town is home to the Thirukonesvaram Kovil, which is one of the oldest Hindu temples in Sri Lanka there are many things to do and see in town and the views across the three main bays are very pretty. It is found on Swami Rock, just above Fort Frederick. It’s very colourful and you can walk around the grounds. The temple is built on top of the cliff, tottering right on the edge of the Indian Ocean. Next to Koneswaram Temple is Lovers Leap. The name kind of gives it away but it is indeed a favorite suicide spot, with a sheer drop to the ocean crashing against the rocks below. There’s a memorial and shelter, commemorating the legend behind the name. Apparently the daughter of an Old Dutch official here threw herself off the cliff when her forbidden lover had to sail back to Europe, never to see her again. The story was dampened slightly when records revealed that the girl in question in fact grew old in the town, married with children. But the name and memorial remains. Check-in at your hotel for Dinner and Overnight Stay.
