Sri-LankaDescription and is it worth a visit
One of the peculiar entertainments for which tourists go to Jaffna and to the North is the observation of animals, in particular flamingos and other birds. Moreover, for this it is not necessary to hire a guide or go to national parks, you can watch animals right in their natural environment. The main places of concentration of birds are lakes and coastal shallow water. You need to watch them with caution and patience, because even though at first glance they are not at all afraid of the transport passing next to them, it is only necessary to stop, as they rush into scattering. Therefore, be patient, take binoculars or a camera with a good zoom, and then you will see everything.
🕐 Working hours
Bird watching is best early in the morning during the migration season from September to April

🚶 How to get there: if you hire a tuk-tuk, the drivers themselves know where to take you, and even tell you how to behave. If you are going to travel around the neighborhood on your own by rented transport, then the easiest way is to go to the embankment bridges connecting the Jaffna peninsula with the nearby islands of Velanai, Kareitivu and others.
